My Goals For Physiology This Semester

This semester, I want to earn a better grade than I did last semester. Also, I want to get better test scores, because my test scores have always been extremely poor. Anyways, in order to get a decent grade, I should learn to manage my time more wisely. After learning to manage my time more wisely, I should be able to make some time to study for this class. I just find it extremely difficult to memorize all the names of the bones, tissues, etc. I don't know how the other people do it, but I guess I'll eventually have to figure out a way to do so .. if I want to earn a good grade. Also, I want to do all my work by not procrastinating as much or at all...

What I Enjoyed about 1st Semester

I enjoyed that we got to meet new people and also learn how to stay healthy. I really enjoyed reading the YOU book, because despite being interesting, it also teaches as well. Nothing really confuses me, except that many of the bone names are really similar. Also, it's really hard to memorize all the names of the bones, muscles, etc. in our body. I don't think we spent enough time on the YOU book, because we rarely read/discuss it. I would definitely improve by learning how to manage my time wisely and also try not to procrastinate. I want to have enough time to get decent scores on my quizzes/tests, instead of just trying to BS them. I hope I will do better next semester than this one, because I was a total failure this semester.

How Heart Healthy Are You

I'm not exactly too heart healthy, because I don't exercise as much as I used to anymore. The previous years, I used to exercise a lot ... everyday at badminton practices and also, in PE class. This year, however, I'm no longer taking P.E. and also I don't have time for badminton practices either. I regret for not joining this year, but I really cannot manage time for badminton. The reason is because I need to raise my grades up and I have so much more to do. Also, I don't exactly eat the healthiest foods either. I don't eat too much junk food, I just eat a lot of candy .. etc. I think I need to work out a bit when I manage to dig out some time soon.

Physiology-related entry

This past month, I've learned many muscles such as: deltoid, brachials, etc. Also, I've learned their nerves as well. Most of the muscles have radial nerve. I also learned the names of the muscles that are in our leg and thigh. Along with that, I also learned the Anterior + Posterior Muscle Man, which we will be tested on ... Monday + Wednesday. Oh boy, I can't wai.t = . =''

Muscle Injury that I had

A muscle injury that I once got was during Badminton practices. We were doing warm-ups, such as: practice games. When it was my turn, I was practically struggling to get the birdy. Eventually, I twisted my ankle real badly and pulled the muscle of my ankle. It hurt very much that I told my coach and he told me to sit down. Also, he told me to tie my shoelaces very tight and lay it down. It took approximately like 20 minutes to get better, but it didn't heal completely. It took like 1 or 2 days to completely return back to normal.

What I Learned about my Bone Disease

Some facts that I learned/fascinated about the bone disease, Osteoporosis, is that: 1. This disease is the most common in women after the menopause. 2. There are no specific symptom . . it's main consequence is being at high risk of bone fractures. 3. Bisphosphonate drugs are prescribed for people who have osteoporosis. 4. Tobaccon smoking is usually why people get his bone disease. 5. Colles is the 3rd most common type of osteoporotic fractures. 6. Also, alcoholism is another reason why some people get this disease.

What I Learned from Ch. 4

I learned that are bones are more complex than what they look/seem. Also, I learned the primary functions of bones. I also learned how effective it is to ice an injury before it swells up. I learned that why it is bad to crack our knuckles, neck, shoulders, etc. The reason is because if we do it all the time, it builds up, and then it'd eventually burst . . . like a bubble. That's what I learned in class, which is not mentioned in the book. I learned many new workouts that would be interesting to try out as well. For example: squats, Overhead Press, Lateral Deltoid Lift, Rotator-Cuff Rotation, etc. I also learned that when we are doing sit-ups, it's not a wise idea to ask someone to hold your feet for you while you're doing it.. Also, that we should not bend all the way down, while doing lunges, because it's not as helpful as it's said by coaches/P.E. teachers.
