January 9

Today we covered Creation Myths in history and in exercise science we covered some anatomical terms and definitions.

In history we looked at an African creation myth.

We examine the main points common in many creation myths.

They all come from one source and are different only because time and local cultural circumstances have changed them. This is the reason why the details in the creation myths vary, but either the basic outline is similar, or at least they share common elements.

Most systems of myths have an explanation for the origin of the universe and its components. These myths are known as creation myths.

Creation myths teach some moral principle via obvious folk-hero stories or to instruct a culture about some tradition.

Humans are model builders and communicators. They cannot survive without complex models developed, improved, and passed from one generation to the next in the form of culture and society.

Here is a link that details creation myths.

In science we researched these following terms.

1. Flexion/Extension

2. Abduction/Adduction

3. Lateral/Medial Rotation

4. Pronation/Supination

You should be familiar with these terms.

We also looked at one of these areas:

1. Back

2. Upper Limb

3. Head and Neck

4. Thorax

5. Abdomen

6. Pelvis and Perineum

7. Lower Limb

Be familiar with all of the top list and choose 1 section of muscles and describe them from the second list.
