Strategy to Succeed and Homeostasis

Anatomy and Physiology can be a daunting (but also exciting!) course. We will cover every body system in this course and Anatomy and Physiology II. It’s a good idea to take a moment this week to self-reflect and get yourself organized for the upcoming term.

Throughout this course, we will often return to a common principle which regulates the human body: homeostasis. For your discussion post, provide one example of homeostasis within the body. Provide a brief 3-4 sentence explanation of the example you choose.

Additionally, identify and discuss 1-2 obstacles you may face with this course while learning anatomy and physiology. Examples may include being new to online learning, time management issues, personal or family commitments, test anxiety, etc.

Answer 1

1) Homeostasis the process by which our body maintains our internal environment. Like we are warm-blooded animals. Our normal body temperature is 39-degree Celcius. Now in the hot weather or when we have a fever, our body temperature increased so maintain this temperature our body leaves excess heat by sweating and after sweating, our body becomes cool and temperature comes in normal condition.

2) The first obstacle is to memorising. In anatomy and physiology, there are lots of things to learn. Physiology is a little bit easier for me than anatomy. In anatomy, there are so many nerves and muscles and systems, bones we have to study and we can't forget anything. We have to keep in mind each and every structure which is really difficult to remember. And all the difficult names are like the devil. So I need to revise one topic again and again. Because revision is the only key to memorize anything.

The second thing is the time. In medical school, we have lots of classes in the day time so we get only the night time to study. And anatomy and physiology have so much huge syllabus. In the night time first, I need to do the university homework. After that, I get very little time for self-study.
