Diary of Learning activity

(itemise learning activity and reflect on the main points of learning from each. You should identify for each entry the relevant KSB)

Reflection on Learning Activity (include model of reflection e.g. Driscoll or Gibbs):

 

Today we were discussing the Respiratory System.

Mentioned above system include:

  • Nose
  • Mouth
  • Throat
  • Voice box
  • Windpipe
  • Lungs

Air enters respiratory system through the nose or mouth.

The respiratory system is responsible for delivering oxygen O2 and removing carbon dioxide CO2.Respiratory System also allows us to talk and smell.

 

Oxygen is required by our cells to make energy. It is brought in via the lungs and deliver to the cells by the bloodstream.

Carbon Dioxide is the waste product carried from cells via the lungs.

Process of movement Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in and out from the cells is called diffusion.

By the end of the session, we were able to:

  • Describe the function of the respiratory system
  • Name the key structures of the respiratory system
  • Define diffusion
  • Explain the process of the gas exchange
  • Explain the role of the respiratory system in homeostasis

 

During the session I gained more confidence to define a new terminology such us:

  • Anosmia (lack of the sense of smell)
  • Dyspnoea (difficult or painful breathing)
  • Bronchoscope (instrument to examine the bronchi)
  • Laryngitis (inflammation of the larynx)
  • Pulmonary metastases (lang secondaries)
  • Pneumonia (severe infection of lungs)
  • Rhinoplasty (cosmetic surgery/  nose job)

Afternoon session, has been dedicated to the Academic Writing L 4

 

By the end of the session each student was able to:

– understand the requirements for writing at L 4

– be able to describe the stages of writing an assignments

– understand the importance of referencing

We also found the deadline for submission our first assignments.

Each day brigs us closer to the exams and assignments submission. Creates more panic and confusion. If we will be able to organise our duties, prioritise our responsibilities and tasks, we will be able to get rid of the confusion. Revising each module at the most convenient time will help us to stay up to date with obtained  knowledge , gain confidence to  answer all exam questions successively.
