Initial Post Instructions

Over the past 8 weeks you’ve learned the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular, immune, lymphatic, and respiratory systems. As much as we like to partition the body into discrete units, it is often the case that systems are interdependent and their function is intimately tied to other organ systems.

For the Week 8 discussion of 255, I would like you to think back on the session and choose one organ or organ system covered in 256 (digestive, metabolism and nutrition, renal, reproductive, or development) that you are the most excited to study next session. After that, discuss how that organ/organ system is connected to the material we have covered in BIOS 255.

For example, we talked about the importance of intrinsic factor to making red blood cells in Week 1. You could discuss the connection between dietary absorption of intrinsic factor, vitamin B , and the maintenance of a healthy hematocrit.

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least two other posts and find an additional connection between this session’s material and your peers' chosen organ or organ system.
