Movements and Joints Quiz will be on Thursday
For the movements you will have to match the movements w/ an example of that movement (NOT JUST THE DEFINITION!!!)
Example: Coach Cheney is "waving" his baserunner around third into home to score the winning run---Circumduction
For the joints you will be given an example to and fill in whether it is IMMOVABLE/SLIGHTLY MOVABLE/FREELY MOVING, then if it is freely moving, which of the 6 classes is it (B&S, G, H, E, S, P).
One short answer question.

Anatomy and Physiology Intro
Merry Christmas to you and your families!! Enjoy your break-Mr. Cheney and the Minks
(Read to the song the 12 days of Christmas)
On the 6th day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me......
Please Read Chapter 5 (Surfer Book) and do review questions (1-29) at the end of the chapter. Due 1/3/13
We will go over the Integumentary System on Thursday/Friday when we return.
On the 5th day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me, a practical to review my dissection abilities.
Part one: Matching 26 structures to their functions
Part two: Matching Body cavities to structures found w/in (review page 16-19 in surfer book)
Part three: Practical YOU WILL HAVE 5 MINUTES AT EACH MINK STATION!!!
Mink #1: Cardiovascular system (7 items)
Mink #2: Digestive system (8 items)
Mink #3: Respiratory system (7 items)
Mink #4: Excretory system (5 items)
On the 4th day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me, a mink to dissect...finally!!!
CHECK THIS WEBSITE OUT!!! http://highschoolbiologywiki.wikispaces.com/file/view/mink_dissection_step-by-step_instructions.pdf
Please read over the Mink dissection lab handout this weekend, you must know what you are cutting and examining prior to that day's objectives for dissection. If you want to come in and get a look at the Mink dissection booklet, you are more than welcome to come in and review these before school, during lunch/study hall, or QRP. Also, I recommend looking online at YouTube videos of mink dissection to take a little of the shock and awe of the first day!!!
Mink Objectives
Monday: Parts 6/7: Opening the Thoracic and Abdominal Cavities, Prepping for T/W objectives
Tuesday: Parts 8/9 Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems
Wednesday: Parts 10/11 Reproductive, Digestive, and Excretory Systems
Thursday: Tissue examinations and Quiz
On the third day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me, the 11 organ systems of the human body.
Read Surfer book p 4-15
Quiz Friday 12/14 w/ tissues on general functions of the organ systems
On the second day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me, descriptions of the tissue families of the human body.
Read Surfer book p 93-102 for Monday
Read Surfer book p 103-106 for Tuesday
Read Surfer book p 107-114 for Wednesday
Tissue Labs M-T-W-Th DUE FRIDAY (USE LUNCH/CLASSTIME/QRP TO REVIEW)
Quiz Friday 12/14
On the first day of Anatomy, my cadaver sent to me, directional terms and planes of the human body.
Read p 15-24 in the Surfer book (take note of key vocab on pages 19-20)
Do the worksheet on directional terms and the body planes.
Do questions 16-23 on pages 28-29 of Surfer book for review
