".,neRvOuS sySteM: pArT 1.,"



I have learned that nervous system serves as our body's computer. I have learned the nervous tissues that made up of two types of cells- neuroglia or glial cells and neurons. ALso, I learned how neurons work. And I learned the used of spinal cord and spinal nerve in travelling the information from the brain.


If I will explainthis to someone, I will make it easy for them. Because I know that this chapter is a little bit harder to understand. I will make a concept map. And I will compare the nervous system to a computer for them to understand it well. Like nervous system, computer have "brain" also, the information is inputted using the keyboard, mouse, etc. And the computer's output-printers, speakers, etc. The nervous system have input which we refer as CNS or Central Nervous System. And ouput which we refer as PNS or Peripheral Nervous System. And after that, I will explain everything I learned about this chapter.


This chapter was reported by Cecille. Actually, I didn't understand her report because she just read all in the book, i think!. That's the reason why we all didn't listen to her and felt bored. If I were her, I will study hard my report for them to learn the topic and feel alive not bored. Good for me, I read her report that's why I learned a little..

.,IntEguMeNtaRy sYSteM,.




I have learned that integumentary system is the most exposed system and the protective covering of our body. I also leaerned about the 3 main layers of the skin such as epidermis- the outer layer skin, dermis- the 2nd layer and has blood vessels, and subcutaneous fascia- also kinown as hypodermis. And also the different degree burn such as 1st degree, 2nd degree, third degree and forth. Lastly, I leraned about the nails and hair.




If I'm going to explain this to someone,I will make a concept map and I will show them some pictures of skin with labels of different parts, the nail and hair. I will explain first the funstions of Integumentary system. I will discuss the parts of the skin, its 3 main layers and the others. I will discuss also how skins are healed and the dgree burns of the skin. And I will discuss also the parts of our nails and hair. And lastly, explain to them how our nails and hair grow even if they are compose of dead cells.




Ivy was the one who reported this chapter. She read her report on that day and we understand it a little bit. With the help of our teacher we understand it easily.

*-MusCuLaR sySteM-*


I've learned that muscular system focused in our muscle which means the contractile tissue. I've learned the three different parts of muscular system such as skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. I've learned the terms in the movement of the muscle. And I've leraned also how the myosin binds with the actin while you are doing the biceps.


If I'll explain this to other, I will do the same on what I did in the earlier chapter. I will make a concept map and shoe some pictures of the muscular system for them to understand and recall it easily. I will discuss the three different types of the muscle on how each types works and where they are located. I'll also discuss the movements of the muscle and I will illustrate it to them to make it eas. And I will discuss how contraction and relaxation works.


The one who reported this chapter was Erick but we didn't understand because he just read the whole chapter. Therefore, Sir Gregg help us to understand it and gave illustration for us to enjoy muscular system.

I've learned that skeletal system provides framework for our body. I've also learned the different bone shapes such as long, short, flat and irregular.I've learned the basic parts of our bones and the tissues of it. And also I've learned on how our bones grew and repaired.


If I'll explain this to someone, I'll explain it briefly and summarized for them to easily understand it with the help of concept msp and some pictures of the bones for them to not confused on what I'm going to explain about the skeletal system. I'll discuss the functions of it and the parts of the bones. And how our bones grew and repaired itself.


Our teacher in Biology, help us understand this chapter briefly, summarized and simple.....

I've learned that the building blocks of protein is amino acids..And i also learned the general structure of it...


To explain this to someone, first, I will explain on how to define the protein by looking the suffix -ase. Give the meaning of protein that he/she can easily understand and easily recall..And explain the general structure of amino acids:building blocks of protein, by identifying it's parts, either it's Amino group, Carboxylic group or R-group. I will also tell that the R-group can be change and it tells what kind of amino acid you are dealing with...


I don't have any comment to my teacher because he also explains it well...=D and it make us interesting in the subject.

I've learned that the building blocks of carbohydrates is monosaccharide. I also learned on how to define carbohydrate with an ending of -ose. And the three groups of it...


To make simplier to explain this lesson, first I will define the carbohydrate which means " sweet sugar, "for example, foods such as white rice, bread, starchy vegetables, and so on..It is our source of energy and it is divided into three groups: monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharide is the most basic unit of carbohydrate.It is classified based on the placement of carbonyl group: Aldose and Ketose. Aldose if it is COOH and Ketose if it is CH2OH. D-glucose if HO is in the right and H is in the left at the second to the last carbon. L-glucose,vice versa. The disaccharide is the combination of two monosaccharide and polysaccharide is composed of many monosaccharide...


Our teacher explains it very well but he haven't finish or continued on how to combined the wo monosaccharide using the lines( straight, up-down, down-up)..=D

I've learned the other call of terms of our body. The positions of the body and anatomical language...


To explain this, I will volunteer myself as an example. And explain to him/her the other call of terms of different parts of our body aside from what we know from head to toe. For example, the cranial is for head, orbital for the eyes, nasal for the nose, otic for ears, buccal for cheeks and so on... And the anatomical languages use by doctors or medical students or just an ordinary people, for example, cardio means heart, and logy means study of. If we combine the two words..it's cardiology which means the study of heart...


Our teacher in Biology explains everything well. And he give activity for this lesson that we can easily remember the parts.
