Nervous System
The General Characteristics of a Neuron or a Nerve Fiber include: Excitability, Conductivity, and fact that they do not divide anymore in adults. When we are learning something new, we create neural connections, and these are more efficient when we are still young. Hence, learning a thing or two at a young age would be better compared to learning later in life. More basic information about Neurons can be found in the attached article.Nervous Tissue – Characteristics, Structure, Functionhttps://byjus.com/biology/nervous-tissue/#:~:text=What%20is%20a%20Nervous%20Tissue,also%20provides%20nutrients%20to%20neurons.Nervous tissue is the main tissue of our nervous system. It regulates the functions of the body. Nervous tissue consists of two cells: nerve cells and glial cells

Why is Histology important?The importance of histology lies in its ability to help us understand the tiny changes within body tissues. By closely examining tissues under a microscope, scientists and doctors can accurately identify diseases and understand how they affect the body on a small scale. This careful study helps in diagnosing illnesses correctly, avoiding mistakes, and leads to better treatments. Essentially, knowing the structure of tissues and how diseases change them is crucial for developing new ways to diagnose and treat health conditions (Schwamborn, 2017). Building on this, histology serves as a crucial bridge between theoretical knowledge and its practical application in healthcare. Delving into the microscopic world of cells and tissues provides a deeper understanding of the human body\’s complexities, vital for accurately diagnosing diseases and tailoring treatments to individual patients. Histology not only enhances diagnostic abilities but also equips healthcare professionals with the comprehensive insights necessary for effective patient care (HISTOLOGY, EMBRYOLOGY AND CYTOLOGY – Department of Histology and Medical Biology, n.d.).

Histology ArtHistology Art encompasses both sciences and the arts. The intersection of these two realms allows us to visualize the beauty of tissues revealed to our naked eye. With a distinct style that would capture our fascination and awe of our bodies’ processes, this type of art is vital in our holistic learning. Here is an interesting depiction of Histology Art that showcases the “Great wave of small round blue cells” (Animated PathArt, 2023).

Reflections of the SU LogoThe logo of Silliman University beautifully encapsulates the institution\’s core values and mission through its symbolic elements. The lamp, for me, symbolizes the power of knowledge and underscores the university\’s commitment to academic excellence, illuminating the path to enlightenment and wisdom. The book signifies the enduring power of knowledge, highlighting Silliman University\’s dedication to lifelong learning and intellectual growth. The wreath symbolizes the wisdom that arises from knowledge, reinforcing the importance of using knowledge wisely for service and social transformation. These elements collectively inspire students to prioritize academic excellence, personal growth, social responsibility, and a lifelong commitment to learning, guiding their educational journey according to the principles of \”Via, Veritas, Vita.\”
In my college life, this emblem serves as a constant source of inspiration, motivating me to strive for excellence, seek truth, and make a positive impact on my community and the world.

Reflections on SU MottoSilliman University\’s motto, \”Via, Veritas, Vita\” (The Way, the Truth, and the Life), is a profound and inspiring statement that has guided the university\’s community for over a century. It is a reminder that our lives have meaning and purpose, and that we are called to live in a way that is true to ourselves, to others, and to God.
As a student at Silliman University, I am committed to living out the values of Via, Veritas, Vita. This means striving to be the best version of myself, to pursue knowledge and truth, and to live a life of service to others.
In my college life, Via, Veritas, Vita impacts my direction in the following ways:
Via: I am guided by the belief that there is a way to live that is both meaningful and fulfilling. I strive to make choices that are aligned with my values and that will lead me to a life of purpose.
Veritas: I am committed to pursuing knowledge and truth. I believe that education is essential for personal growth and social transformation. I strive to be open-minded and to learn from others.
Vita: I believe that life is a gift and that we should cherish every moment. I am committed to living a life of joy and compassion. I strive to make a difference in the world and to leave it a better place than I found it.
Silliman University\’s motto has had a profound impact on my direction in college life. It has helped me to define my values and to set goals for myself. It has also challenged me to grow as a person and to make a difference in the world.
