| Connective tissue cells |
In this unit, we learned a lot about the structures and biological molecules that make up our bodies and their functions. Mr. Orre taught us about anatomical terms, which help us precisely describe the location of features on the body. This unit also showed us what cells are composed of and how they work together in functional units called tissues. We studied the four main tissues and how they function in the body.

| Muscle Tissue Slide |
The essential understandings of this unit was macromolecules, how they were used and how they affected the cell with its corresponding tissue. Also the tissues and how their function is related to the structure. In this unit we learned about the tissues, what they are composed of and also how they function. The four tissues that make up our body epithelial, connective, muscle and nervous. I learned how to classify cells, for example simple, stratified, psuedostratified,squamous,cuboidal and columnar. This unit showed me how to use the anatomical terms, and how your body responds to damaged or killed cells.

| Inflammation |
Something I don't fully understand is collagen and the extracellular matrix. I think for the next unit for me to improve i should review the material more and take better notes. Something I learned this unit that applies in my life is inflammation. My dog is allergic to bees and every time he gets stung, where he gets stung gets really swollen and he gets hives all over his body. I now know that it is because the mast cells all get sent to where he was stung and they release histamines which causes it to swell, and that is why we give him benedryl because it is a anti histamine, which gets rid of the histamines and reduces swelling.
