Biology 2-1

We will be looking at things like microbiology, genetics, evolution, and ecology in this section of Biology 2. Post a comment that explains what each of these topics has to do with biology and why they are important to you.

Environmental Issues

First, define what environmental science means to you and why you wanted to take this course. When you have completed that, discuss one topic that you are familiar with that relates to the environment and why it is important to you.

Systems working together

Think about how the systems that we discussed and some of the one's that we haven't but you should know something about have to work together. Specifically, look at how the digestive system, the respiratory system and the circulatory system have to work together to provide us with the ability to make energy and other essential products at the cellular level.

Add a blog that discusses how all these systems work together to perform these complex tasks.

Digestive System

Trace yesterday's candy through the system and give all of the important details along the way.

Muscular System

You have just had a patient come in with a muscle that will not contract. You have discovered that the patient will not produce any acetylcholine. How does this important part of the contraction process affect the rest of the process? What steps in the process of the muscle contraction will not be able to take place because of the lack of acetylcholine?

Integumentary System

You are a forensic doctor and you have just received a group of patients that have survived a 5 alarm fire. Your job is to evaluate the extent of the damages to the patients and report the damages to the public. In your report you need to include the structural damage that has occured (anatomy) and the impact of that damage on their quality of life (physiology).

First blog

Create a story where you are an emergency room technician and you have just brought a patient suffering from multiple injuries to see the physician. Your task is to describe the scene of the accident and to use proper directional and regional terminology to convey the injuries to the nurses and doctor. This story should be approximately 250 words.
