I have been interested in physiology ever since I learnt about it at school. It was the most enjoyable area of biology I have ever come across. All the information my teacher told me was so interesting and fascinating that I spent a lot of my free time watching videos and reading articles about individual body systems. The nervous system is my favourite for its complexity and the ability to control the body.
The knowledge of physiology helps us treat and overcome diseases and understand how our and animals' bodies work. I find it amazing that there are many processes which are taking part in our bodies right now even though we might know nothing about them because they work on their own. I want to discover something nobody has discovered before and I know that this course can help me achieve it. With the help this course could give me, I would like to understand how body systems work together and how they react to diseases.
I enjoy learning about subjects I find interesting, such as biology and chemistry (especially if the discussed topic is about human and physiology). I prepare for tests about human biology more than my classmates do. Basic facts do not satisfy me. I want to know why things work the way they do. Therefore, I

During this job, I had to prove that my learning skills were good enough to learn more than forty pages of text about the whole object and its former owners. My critical thinking improved as well because there was so much information for a tour, which was supposed to last two hours, that I had to extract the most important and the most interesting pieces of information I thought the visitors might appreciate. Multitasking is a big part of this job. One must tell all information to the visitors, pay attention whether they obey the rules and keep checking time. This experience has boosted my leadership skills and improved my sense of
Having described the scenario, this essay will now focus on the anatomy and physiology during Laura’s third stage. After the delivery of her baby, Laura’s uterus continued to contract and retract due to the effect of oxytocin on the myometrium. Herman (2000) and Herman et al. (2002) describe the placental separation in three stages; latent, contraction/detachment and expulsion. During the latent phase Laura’s myometrium begun to contract and retract. During the contraction/detachment phase Laura’s myometrium continued to contract and retract. Therefore, the surface area decreased under the placenta and it detached from the spongy layer of the decidua, consequently exposing the maternal spiral arteries. During the expulsion phase, Laura’s placenta descended into her lower uterine segment and the membranes peeled away from the walls of her uterus. With further contractions of her uterus, Laura’s placenta and membranes descended into her vagina and expelled from it.
Since high school, science has always been a subject of interest to me. Everything in the universe occurs for a reason and I believe science explains all these reasons. Besides this, science is all about the facts and this is why science has never fails to fascinate me. And nursing is more about science, which is why I have developed profound interest in this subject. I love the human biology, human physiology to be precise. I have always been intensely inquisitive in learning about the organs of the human body and have always wondered how they
My interest in medicine had started out with an enjoyment of science. From general biology to advanced cellular/behavioral neuroscience, the study of the biological systems, especially the most complex of them all, the human body, has been a delightful journey with new discoveries in each new class.
My knowledge from A-Level Biology and Psychology has allowed me to appreciate and understand aspects of the human anatomy and physiology and also how people interact individually and with the wider society. Studying Chemistry and Maths has been both challenging but intriguing and I have been able to adapt the skills of paying attention to detail, managing, prioritising and conducting extensive research via these courses.
When I was in middle school I fell in love with human anatomy and animal biology. It was a very young age for me to be so interested in that type of fire. Most children at the age of 11 or 12 years old I fascinated with the stars or what temperature makes liquids freeze. I wanted to dissect things I was not afraid of the frog north-south all I wanted to understand how the lungs worked and how the intestines worked anywhere in the body you can find the specific organ. You see, that's the type of science that was a driving force for me to achieve in school. I knew at the age of 12 that if I put forth maximum effort in my studies I would eventually become a doctor one day. It's always bad the running tape in the back of my head one day I will
Being in this course has changed my view of the biological world greatly. Throughout the four books and various papers that we have read I have learned to think more critically, learned more about learned more about what scientists go through, and even noticed more similarities between humans and fish. The papers helped me understand hard topics, but the discussions with my classmates has helped me better understand how people can build upton others’ ideas or have differing views on a subject, but still have a discussion about it.
Whenever asked what my favourite subject is, Biology has been, and will always be, my only answer. It was bewildering to compare my body to a machine working harmoniously. The digestive system, the respiratory system and the circulatory system are coordinating with each other right underneath my skin. Realising that the 'blue lines' visible beneath the flesh of my hands are actually veins carrying deoxygenated blood fueled my desire to know more about how my body functions. To me, it has always been about getting to know my self better.
Have you ever had an event in your life change your perception on someone or something? That happened in my life, while I took my Anatomy and Physiology class. I had never known what I wanted to do in my future. I never even had an area of study that truly interested me, interested me enough to possibly want to work on it for the rest of my life. All through my earlier school years I always thought that science was about rocks, space, earth, and animals. Science was always my least favorite subject due to that and I never thought that I would ever love it. When I took the Anatomy and Physiology class, my paradigm shift happened. Due to that class I have figured out that I want to have a future in Radiology and that I love health/human body
I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
Anatomy is a study of the structure or internal workings of something and physiology is the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts. A cosmetologist practice beautifying the face, hair and skin of their clients and a nail tech purpose is to take care of both finger and toenails.
As a result of participating in the course, I have become more confident in putting together and presenting research topics in class, lab meetings, and at poster seminars. In short, research has taught me that there’s always more to learn, more questions to ask, and more to improve upon. Stemming from an interest in medicine, I accepted a position as a medical scribe. This position allowed me to experience the uncensored world of medicine and understand the daily functions of the Emergency
Pathophysiology is the study of the functioning of an organism in the presence of disease. Understanding the pathophysiological effects of diseases is an important aspect of being a paramedic and is a skill that will be utilized during virtually every patient contact. It allows EMS providers to deliver the appropriate interventions to patients based on their body's functions, and helps predict how the patient’s body will react to the treatment. There are many factors that cause disease. Some diseases can be controlled by diet, exercise, or medicine while other diseases are considered to be uncontrollable, such as those caused by genetics.
The history of anatomy and physiology dates back to ancient Egyptian times when humans were mummified after death and bodies would be stripped of their internal organs during the embalming process. It was not until much later when Hippocrates II, known as the father of medicine, was the first to write about human anatomy. Shortly after that, the Alexandrian Medical School was established, where human dissection was allowed for the first time, which promoted research and new discoveries in the field. From there, many other influential researchers came up with theories regarding the cardiovascular and nervous systems, etc; however, the missing links in some of the earlier theories was found with the discovery of the microscope, which changed the focus of research and led to many advancements in the field.
I have always been intrigued by the field of science and that is the reason I pursued the field of Biochemistry for my undergraduate studies. How The Human body works and the different determinants that can affect one's health or a community as a whole have always been captivating to me. I wanted to emerge in a profession that is beneficial for me, my community, and the world I live in. I came to realize through various science courses and health care experiences that a career in health care was the best path for me to outreach my community and the world.
According to changing minds.org, Physiological psychology is the study of the physiological basis of how we think, connecting the physical operation of the brain with what we actually say and do. It is thus concerned with brain cells, brain structures and components, brain chemistry, and how all this leads to speech and action. It is also important to understand how we take in information from our five senses.
