BIO 304 · Week 7 of 8 · Jul 20 to Jul 26 · Lecture, Workbook & Drawing
Defense, the breath, and the gut.
This week runs by system: the immune defense, the breath that brings oxygen in, and the gut that processes everything you eat. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are lecture-and-workbook days. Tuesday and Thursday you draw the case by hand in the passport. The spaced-recall cards are optional this week, encouraged but not required. The weekend is catch-up, and both case drawings are due Sunday 11:59 PM.
How each pre-work session runs
Four steps, in order.
This is the flow for a lecture-and-workbook day (Mon, Wed, Fri). Open the topic, watch the video, then print and do the workbook. The recall cards are optional this week, there for extra practice if you want it.
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 in about sixty words before you move on. Submit your workbook when it is done.
04
Recall cards (optional)
Optional this week, but encouraged. DOK 1 to DOK 3 cards that carry into future Daily Reviews, so the practice compounds if you use it.

TUE 21
Immune System Case Passport
Draw the three-panel case by hand: normal, then abnormal, then one first-line treatment you research. No printer needed. Put all three panels on one page and upload that single page, one page only. Completely hand-drawn: pencil, pen, or colored pencils only, not a tablet or AI. It will be checked.
WED 22
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.
THU 23
Respiratory System Case Passport
Draw the three-panel case by hand: normal breathing, then the asthma attack, then one first-line treatment you research. Put all three panels on one page and upload that single page, one page only. Completely hand-drawn: pencil, pen, or colored pencils only, not a tablet or AI. It will be checked.
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, by system.
Each lecture day takes about 30 to 45 minutes if you sit with it. Watch the video, do the workbook, and write the short check. The drawing days are where it all comes together, so give the passport real time and draw it by hand.
The spaced-recall cards are optional this week. They are still the best way to make it stick, so I encourage you to run them, but they are not required. If you fall behind, do the current day's work first, then use the weekend to catch up.

Ready to start
Monday is the immune system. Start there.
Lymph and innate immunity first, then adaptive. On Tuesday you draw the immune case by hand.
