Mr. Cheney, You are Getting on my Nerves!!!

Nervous System (F-T) Mader Ch 37 Read 694-714 WKBK p 235-245 (s/f) 247-250 (drugs/fx)

Special Senses (T-W) Mader Ch 38 Read 717-732  WKBK p 231-234, 251-265

Endocrine (W-Th) Mader Ch 40 Read 735-770

Immune/Lymphatic (Th-F) Mader Ch 44 Read 627-643  WKBK 169-70 (examples of defenses) 173-182 (Lymph/Immunity and vaccinations), 183-189 (Immune system disorders)

This seems like a lot of information, but for these systems we are going to focus on the homeostastic processes and their relationships to the systems we have already covered.  These systems have direct ties back to the Nervous System.

I will highlight specific questions in my biozone that are key concepts.

Muscle Activity Presentation suggestions

On posterboard (not only way)

1. Show motion in a frame by frame sequence
2. Identify major muscles involved, try to find diagram of muscles showing movement of each frame. Color insertion, origin, ag/anta/synergist muscles
3. Identify joints and movements of each frame

Separate explanation (typed) so people can read explanation and refer back to diagram.

This set up will allow you to keep everything from becoming too clustered.
