MON 20
Lymphatic System and Innate Immunity
Lymph vessels, lymphoid organs, and the first line of defense.
BIO 304 · Week 7 of 8 · Jul 20 to Jul 26 · Nightly Pre-Work
Defense, the breath, and the gut.
Four pre-work days. Six topics. The immune defense, the breath that brings oxygen in, and the gut that processes everything you eat. Each topic page walks you through the reading, the fill-in-the-blank notes, the video, and then opens your nightly spaced-recall cards. Open one topic on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri. Wednesday is catch-up and discussion.
How each pre-work session runs
Four steps, in order.
Same four steps every pre-work day. The order matters. The retrieval check is what makes the cards work.
01
Open the topic, print the workbook
Pick the day's topic from the list below. Print that day's lab workbook before you sit down. Breaking flow to find a printer is where good study sessions die.
02
Watch the short video
Finishing the video is what starts the retrieval gate. Read the fill-in-the-blank notes alongside it.
03
Write the 60-word check
Pull together what the video just taught you. Submitting unlocks the spaced-recall cards for the topic.
04
Run the nightly cards
DOK 1 to DOK 3 cards. They carry over into future Daily Reviews so the work compounds.

Your four pre-work days
Open one topic per day.
Each topic links to its lecture page. The lecture page is the gate into your spaced-recall cards for that topic.
TUE 21
Adaptive Immunity
B cells, T cells, antibodies. Specific defense and immunological memory.
THU 23
Respiratory Anatomy and Mechanics
Conducting and respiratory zones plus how breathing actually moves air.
Gas Exchange and Transport
How O2 and CO2 move across membranes and travel in the blood.
FRI 24
GI Tract Anatomy and Motility
Mouth to anus. Layers of the tract and how it moves contents along.
Digestion and Absorption
Where each macronutrient is broken down and how it crosses into the body.
A note from me
Week 7, same rhythm.
Each pre-work day takes about 30 to 45 minutes if you sit with it. The retrieval check is the part that makes it stick. Do not skip writing those 60 words, even when the cards look like the easier path.
If you fall behind on a day, do that day's topic first before moving to the next. The spaced-recall cards only schedule properly when you have done the work on the topic page first.

Ready to start
Day 25 is the lymphatic system. Open it.
Lymph and innate immunity first. Adaptive immunity only makes sense once you have the front line.
