Don't forget to back up your arguments with properly cited references

Although some of these forums discuss your own experiences, it is important to keep in mind with each organ system that you want to delve into the anatomy and physiology as much as you can. Learn something new and bring it back for the class. Think about what is happening in the cells. Change your view and imagine yourself as a cell. What does diet and nutrition mean to your ability to function? Break each system down into the smallest pieces and it will start to make sense.
