The document discusses the author's experience learning anatomy and physiology. It expresses how studying the subject was initially difficult but became satisfying as the author pushed through frustration to gain a deeper understanding. The author emphasizes that studying should involve active learning methods like asking questions, discussions, drawing, and note-taking rather than isolation. Studying is portrayed as a continuous learning process rather than an act focused solely on memorization for exams.

I love anatomy!!!!!! ( ilana kovach)
1. I Love Studying Anatomy & Physiolgy
The image above is depicting a moment expressing how I feel about anatomy & physiology. It’s very difficult to describe in words but I deem the feeling as a love & Hate relationship with this intense
subject that has a lot to offer in knowledge. Frustration is equivalent to an athlete with sore muscles… Learning is pushing the limits and frustration is the essential key ingredient to accumulating
Knowledge. Anatomy was not easy for me however questions was vital to aide in the growth of understanding the functions of the Human body. Our bodies our fascinating & complex but it’s important to
have a foundation of understanding the Body to help with future cures for when the body isn’t completely working properly. I went through many stages of frustration, anxiety, and in the end felt
incredibly satisfying. Future anatomy students science is continuously growing in physiology comprehension and Anatomy at Collin college gave me the proper in depth education to allow me to proceed to the
Next level. Remember Study it’s not a deathly word to avoid. Studying can be in many forms simply asking questions allowing your mind to expand which allows you to actively think or making friends to
discuss topics over a cup of coffee, writing notes, Drawing. I used all these methods in the end of this class I made a PowerPoint for the last practical. I hope this review can not only help myself but
many other students. Studying is a term that should be something to look forward to doing. Studying does NOT mean staring at a book for hours reading; some may prefer this method but it isn’t the
only way! Actively thinking, speaking, drawing helped me immensely. The key word is doing is what helped me retain what I learned. Studying shouldn't equal isolation but activate discussions among
students. Another thought to keep in mind is quality versus quantity there is no competition to who studies more and the saying “why did I fail “I studied for hours?” I strongly advise students to instead
train your thoughts to say “look at how much I learned!”. The Goal is learning the truth is not all the information will appear on the Exam so in reality the main goal is continuously learning more
exponentially. Having a negative attitude toward studying is a dangerous quality to have in thus it prevents a person to want to learn, we become memorization machines instead of curious human beings which
is the driving force to take the course. Being curious is a from of studying so in other words you can technically study 24 hours a day just for being curious and simply wondering to the point not knowing
bothered a student that they actually remembered to ask their question.

Lung Volume & Capacities
Tidal volume
The amount of air inhaled and exhaled during normal breathing. Average 500ml
Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
The amount of air that can be forcibly inhaled above a normal tidal inspiration. Average 3300ml
Expiration reserve volume (ERV)
The amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled above a normal tidal Exhalation. Average 100ml
Residual volume (RV)
The amount of air that cannot be forcibly exhaled from the lungs, meaning that the lungs are never
completely empty of air. This is due to surfactant being produced by septal cell in the aveoli to completely
collapse. Average 1200ml
IRV+ERV+TV
The maximum amount of air that can be exhaled from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. Averages:
Males: 4800ml, Females: 3100ml
Total lung Capacity (TLC)= +RV
The maximum amount of air the lungs are capable of holding. Average 6000ml
Minimal Volume RR*TV
The amount of air that will remain in the lungs even if they were to collapse. Average 30-120ml

Exhalation. Diaphragm
relaxes, rib cage returns to

size of thoracic cavity.
Thoracic pressure decreases,
air exits lungs. This is a passive
process.
.
Pulmonary ventilation
Movement of air in and out of the lungs
*At Rest the pressure inside & Outside of the
thoracic cavity is equal, so no air is moving.
Respiratory Rate (RR)- Number of breath per
minute, average is 12bpm

64. Control of Digestive Functions
Local Factors Neural Mechanisms Hormonal Mechanisms
Changes in pH
(Chemoceptors) Local Factors stimulated by

Prostagladins, Histamine, & Other chemicals released into interstitial
fluid may affect adjacent cells within a small segment of the tract
(Stretch Receptors) Stretching of the
Intestinal Wall:
Stimulate localized contractions of smooth muscles
