Importance of Chemistry

Based on the discussions in class this week, the activities you did in the POGIL activity, and any information in your textbook, why do you think it is important to have a basic understanding of chemistry to fully understand human anatomy and physiology.  Use examples that we discussed in class and/or examples from your textbook in your responses.  Comment on two posts from your classmates.  This assignment is due on Monday, September 17.

Early Studies in Anatomy

Read pages 1-3 in your textbook and answer the following questions:

1. What factors probably stimulated an early interest in the human body?
2. What kinds of activities helped promote the development of modern science?

Post your response and don't forget to comment!

I understand that many of the responses may be simliar, but try to think of other ideas (do not read another student's response before responding for yourself - this will help you think more critically).

Introduction

What health-related field/career is most interesting to you?

Why are you interested in that field?

What will you have to do prior to graduation from high school to prepare yourself for a career in a health-related field?

Don't forget to read posts and comments from your classmates and respond to at least one post!
