Anatomy & Physiology 12 Core Competency Self Assesment

I have used the communication core competency a lot in this course during our many labs or working on assignments and work packages with my desk mates. I showed the communication core competency a lot during the sheep hearts lab where my partner and I worked on identifying different chambers and parts of the heart. We first found the blood vessels leading in and out of the heart chambers, my partner and I took each other’s opinions into account of where we believed each vessel was. We obviously communicated very well because we were able to label all the vessels correctly in the first try. In the next section of the lab we labeled parts of the heart, we consulted the heart diagram in the superlab and in the lab handbook, and communicated our findings from those resources. My partner also watched a heart dissection video to prepare for the lab and she shared what she had learned from it with me. My partner and I proved our communication skills greatly in this lab because we were the first pair to complete the labeling. We also communicated our knowledge with Ms Chew by having her check that we had labelled the heart correctly.

The sheep’s heart with the aortic semi-lunar valve labelled. My partner and I weren’t able to label it on the first try but after I consulted a diagram, I communicated my findings with my partner and we correctly located it.
