Gap fill activity:

1. 00:06 Each time you take a step, 200 _____________ work _______________ to lift your
foot, ________________ it forward, and set it down.

2. 00:15 It's just one of the many thousands of tasks performed by the _____________. This
_________________ of over 650 muscles covers the body and is the reason we can
___________________, smile , run, jump, and ________________________.

3. 00:31 It's even responsible for the heart’s dependable ________________. First, what exactly
is the muscular system?

4. 00:39 It's made up of three main muscle types: _____________________, which attaches via
________________ to our _____________, ___________________, which is only found in
the heart, and ____________________, which _________ the _____________ and certain
organs, like the ___________ and _____________.

5. 00:57 All three types are made up of muscle ______________, also known as
______________, _____________ tightly together. These bundles receive signals from the
______________________ that _____________ the fibers, which in turn _______________
force and ______________.

6. 01:11 This produces almost all the _______________ we make. Some of the only parts of the
body whose motions aren't _______________ by the muscular system
are ___________________, the hair-like ______________ in our _________________,
and certain ____________________.

7. 01:25 Muscle contraction can be ___________ into three main types. The first two, shortening
muscle fibers and lengthening them, generate ___________________.

8. 01:34 So the _____________ will shorten while the ______________ will lengthen or relax.

9. 01:50 This complementary partnership exists throughout the muscular system.

10. 01:53 The third type of contraction creates a ______________ force.

11. 02:01 ….but instead keep the muscles ________________. This allows us to __________ a
mug of coffee or ________________ against a wall. It also maintains our posture by holding
us upright.

12. 02:13 Skeletal muscles form the ____________ of the muscular system, ____________
about 30-40% of the body's weight. ….. Some muscles are ____________ to us, like the
__________________ and the biceps. Others may be less so, like the _____________,
a muscle that attaches your _________________ to your teeth, or the body's tiniest skeletal
muscle, a one-millimeter-long _____________ called the _____________ that's
____________ deep inside the ear.

21
13. 02:41 Wherever they occur, skeletal muscles are connected to the ________________,

14. 02:53 … to ___________ our motions even further, slow-__________ and fast-twitch. Fast-
twitch fibers __________ instantly when _______________, but quickly use up their energy
and ______________.

15. 03:04 Slow-twitch fibers, on the other hand, are __________________. They react and use
energy slowly so they can work for longer periods. A sprinter will _______________ more
fast-twitch muscles in her legs …., enabling her to quickly, if briefly,
___________________. Whereas, back muscles contain more slow-twitch muscles to
maintain your _________________ all day.

16. 03:31 are managed by the ___________________________ beyond our direct control. That
makes your heart thump _____________ 3 billion times

17. 03:43 _____________ control also contracts and relaxes smooth muscle in a rhythmic cycle.
That ____________ blood through the smooth ____________ walls of blood vessels, enables
the _____________ to _____________ and push food through the _________
_______________, and allows the ____________ to contract when a person is giving birth

18. 04:01 As muscles work, they also use energy and produce an important ____________, heat.
In fact, muscle provides about 85% of your warmth
which the heart and blood vessels then _____________ evenly across the body via the blood.

19. 04:15 Without that, we couldn't maintain the temperature necessary for our _________.
The muscular system may be largely ______________ to us, but it leaves its mark on almost
everything we do, whether it's the blink of an eye or a race to the finish line.

Speaking: Achieving Goals
The nature of life itself means that sometimes we feel like we are in a maze, turning left and right
and going around in circles, without clear directions of how to reach our destination. This is often the
reality for those who do not set goals as they move through life. Goal setting has been proven to help
trigger new and positive behaviors, help align our focus as well as promote a sense of self-mastery.

As a student, goal setting is a powerful technique which can directly influence your performance.
The process is quite simple and can be completed in three easy steps. To begin, write down the goal. This
makes it tangible and puts everything in motion. The next step is to make sure your goal has a definable
endpoint. Determining the amount of time needed to reach the goal and setting a deadline help to create
a realistic sense of urgency and provide the motivation necessary to attain that goal. After the deadline is
set, you now need to identify measures which indicate your progress and allow you to evaluate your
achievements. This makes it easier to make adjustments when necessary. To conclude, goals are targets
for us to aim at. They allow us to constantly review where we are, where we want to be, and how to get
there, therefore giving us a clear sense of direction.

29
Instructions
 You will be given a goal to achieve.
 You have two minutes to organize your thoughts on the topic.
 Make sure that you have at least two objectives to reach the goal.
 Give examples for each objective.
 You are expected to speak about the topic for two minutes.

Speaking: Taking a Patient’s History
Tips When Taking Your Patient’s History
Often, the diagnosis of a patient’s health condition or disease may be helped by knowing a
little more about his or her life choices, general quality of life, or family history with disease.
Health-care professionals can attain this important information by asking their patients questions
when they come in for a checkup or health complaint. However, the first step is to make your
patients feel safe and secure in their relation with you as their health-care provider. Health
professionals start by asking their patients simple questions before moving on to direct questions
about the current ailment. Showing empathy with your patients through active listening and
displaying a genuine concern for their health and wellbeing is important. Doing so, health
professionals reach a point where the patient is comfortable enough to give them all the details.
It is important to include open-ended questions as well as short-answer questions in relation
to the patient’s details, chief complaint, and family members’ health history with similar conditions
or diseases. Be sure to ask your patient questions that relate to other aspects of their health, which
may not seem directly related, but could be an important factor in a more accurate diagnosis. As
is commonly known, human biological systems work together in keeping humans safe. An acute
condition clearly diagnosed today could be due to a chronic condition not as evidently observed.
Finally, asking your patients about what tests they may have taken in previous visits to
medical facilities, as well as previous diagnosis and medications, is very important. Knowing a
patient’s full medical history will help you, the health professional, avoid unnecessary drug
prescriptions and medically invasive procedures.

Speaking: Suggesting Solutions
Remember back to the last problem you encountered? How did you deal with the situation? Would
you do anything differently were it to happen again? Although we might not realize it, problem-solving and
decision-making are critical elements of our day-to-day activities. So, how do we know whether our
techniques are effective?
The most common mistake in problem-solving is trying to find a solution right away. That's a
mistake because it tries to put the solution at the beginning of the process, when what we need is for it to
be at the end. Once you have identified the problem, your default action should be to invest some time in
brainstorming ideas. This is usually the stage where creative ideas are born. With the list of possible
solutions, you can now begin evaluating each option by analyzing its benefits and drawbacks. Only through
this evaluation process can you determine the best alternative through prioritization.
As medical students, medical dilemmas are rife in your future professions, making problem-solving
and decision-making skills that much more important in your careers. To conclude, every problem presents
us with an opportunity to learn, be creative, evaluate alternatives and from it, derive a practical solution.

87
Instructions
 You will be given a national or international problem/challenge. Define and suggest
solutions.
 You have two minutes to organize your thoughts on the topic.
 You may use a notes page.
 You are expected to speak on the topic for two minutes.
 Start by introducing yourself: name, college and ID number.
 You may glance at your notes while you speak, but do not merely read off your paper.

I have just had a terrible weekend! On Saturday I was so tired


that I slept all morning. When I woke up I had a headache, my
throat was sore, my nose ran, I coughed, and my body ached. My
mother took my temperature. I had a fever. My mother made me
soup for lunch and I ate it in bed. I drank some juice. I tried to read
a book but I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I lay in bed and felt
miserable all afternoon. I got out of bed at dinner time. My
parents ordered pizza for dinner but I was unable to eat any of it.
I drank more juice! I felt a bit better after dinner so I stayed up.
I snuggled under a blanket on the couch and watched some TV with
my parents. I fell asleep in front of the TV. The next morning
I felt better.
