Reflection
Reading about the muscular system changed me, because it made me more aware of what certain
pains and aches in my body might be triggered by, and how to counteract them. For example, I often will
get cramps in various muscles after I exercise. I learned that this might be caused by a potassium
deficiency, as potassium is needed for transmission of certain nerve impulses to muscles and tissues.
Instead of ignoring these cramps, I am going to try and increase my potassium intake, and stretch before
and after exercise to relax the muscles.
Communication, such as writing, talking, and using hand symbols or gestures, would be virtually
impossible without the Skeletal system. These are the most commonly used ways to communicate in our
modern world and I personally find them essential to communication in my everyday life. Just like we
need to move to communicate, we must move to do everything else humans do to stay alive. Without our
bones our bodies would have no form and we would be an immobile pile of skin and organs. Basically,
the Skeletal system is the basis or body movement, your bones support your muscles and your joints are
there to allow you to bend and turn in many different ways. Overall, the Skeletal system protects internal
organs, moves differently in everyone’s body, makes human to human communication/interaction
possible, helps maintain homeostasis through blood cell production and is the basis for all body.
Our systems are connected to each other, like what have I said earlier the muscular and skeletal
system they are much connected to each other. Another two is the respiratory system and circulatory
system. I find a lot of them hard because I’m not that good in memorizing a lot of terms. But I was doing
my best to understand the lesson.
I started thinking of solving other exercises, so that I could remember how to solve this type of
problems. For these questions it is important to at least try and even if you don’t get the answer right than
you would at least get something for your thinking and for trying.After receiving my Test back, I had the
opportunity to correct my mistakes and show my science teacher that I was able to solve all those
problems using my thinking skills. This assessment gave me the opportunity to develop my transfer and
reflrctim skills because when I had to do my test, I had to transfer all my knowledge into those problems
and I have developed my Reflection skills by reflecting on what I did wrong and on how my work could
have been improved.
