Unit 1 Reflection

      This unit was an intro to anatomy and physiology and biology review. We learned different things like macromolecules and tissues. We learned that the presence of different macromolecules and their arrangement directly affect the behavior of the cell and it's corresponding tissue. The tissue's function is directly related to it's structure.
      Some major things that we learned were the four macromolecules and the different tissues. The macromolecules include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acid. The different tissues were muscle, nervous, connective, and epithelial. The part that stood out to me the most was the epithelial tissue. There were different types like simple, stratifies,or pseudostratified and squamous, cuboidal, or columnar. I enjoyed looking at pictures of these tissues and identifying which type it was.
      Something I did not fully understand was the levels of organizations. I understand that the levels include chemical level, cellular level, tissue level, organ level, system level, and organismal level. I just don't get the detailed difference between the organ level and system level. 
      Next unit, I will try and read the book more and take more detailed notes if possible. Anatomy and Physiology is really similar to Biology. Both classes discuss major parts of the body  but I think that biology goes into detail in other things too. Anatomy and Physiology only focuses of body structures and functions.
