In the last 6 weeks I have learned more about citations, how to edit a paper, and a lot of information on myocardial infarction. I have researched both the beginning of, (side effects and risk factors), heart attacks and what comes after a heart attack. Prevention seems to be the same on both sides but I will leave that to the essays. I have also learned a great deal about atoms, molecules, cells, and certain organs of the body. I have learned what the word homeostasis means and how to apply it when reading about how different organs function. I have learned that my children have learned part of the anatomy that I am learning now. I believe, though, that I did learn this in school, but as a reminder, I have not been in school for many years. I have also learned that every day there is a learning experience out there for us. From the least little things to the greatest, we can never know it all.

Sandy, my daughter's science class this year is Bio, and the other day she asked me what homeostasis meant! I didn't know, but I'm glad you do!!
ReplyDeleteYes I do know this because that is one of the first things I learned in A & P 1. It is the way a body keeps itself in a relatively constant manner. Kind of like if you are not sick your temperature stays within a certain range, but when you get sick the body can not keep the peace inside the with the foreign matter running around, so your temperature goes up.
