The Special Senses



I have learned that these special senses are very important and very essential to everyday life. They are highly integrated with the nervous system. Without them, you can't see, hear, feel, smell etc. They are very useful in our daily life.

If I were to discuss this to anybody, I'll make myself very clear to avoid ambiguity. I'll make them feel the environment around us. See everything, smell different kinds of fragrances, hear the most wonderful voices, taste the bitterness and sweetness of life and feel the things hot, cold, etc. And I'm also going to discuss to them the importance of taking care of our body especially the senses.

Patrick was the reporter of this topic. I wasn't able to see how he discussed it because I was pulled out from the class for a SciMath meeting. So I have no comments for him. But even though I didn't see him reporting, I still learned alot because goodthing I read the topic.;)

The Endocrine System


The endocrine system and the nervous system may seem like separate systems, but I had learned that they are totally interconnected and they monitor each other's activities. The endocrine system also collects informations and send orders. It's slower and more subtle control system.
If I'll explain this to others, I'll make sure that I first studied the topic very well. So I can explain it to them clearly. I'll also use concept maps for easier understanding.
I was supposedly the reporter of this topic. But unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to report my topic because my report was saved in an usb, when it was supposedly to be burned in a cd. Which I didn't do because it had troubles burning. Well so much for that. Anyway, Sir Gregg discussed my topic. And I absorbed well the lessons.;P
