Reflection:

Human physiology was a little easier in the Haematology and Immunology system block. I was introduced to the components of the blood and how the normal haemostasis mechanism works in the human body. I ejoy Dr Rekha's physiology class as she is very thorough and detailed-oriented. She always answer our questions whenever we have doubts in our studies. Learning physiology in H&I block helped me to understand my own body. Now if I fall sick, or have a cut, I know the mechanisms of how my body is working to make me feel better. It is truly amazing to learn something that is related to your own body.

Physiology in the Cardiovascular block was in fact one of the hardest subject for me compared to physiology in semester one. I think it is the part where I am trying to grasp a whole new concept of the heart's physiology, which is intricate and complicated at the same time. Thankfully, Prof Roland prepared some lecture-rewind-recordings on Times which are available for us to view throughout the whole system block. I find that very helpful when I do my revisions. CVS physiology also covers the basis of how the heart works, from the electrical conduction, action potential and puming of the heart to whole circulation in the body, both systemic and pulomonary. Although it was tough, I managed to cope with the subject at the end of the system block. I am grateful to learn physiology, as it will help me understand better when I go into my clinical years.
