-Explain the voyage of a piece of food through the alimentary canal. What chemical and mechanical processes are encountered along the way? What accessory organs are also involved in digestion and what are their roles?
-Contrast nonspecific and specific immunity. Give at least 2 examples of each. How do vaccines work and what types of cells allow the secondary response of a vaccinated person be so effective?
-Explain how the ABO blood typing system works. What does rh + and - mean?
-What are the main components of the male and female reproductive system? Early in embryonic development one can not tell the difference between male and female reproductive organs. What do both systems have in common?
Frog Dissection Instructions Handout

Time to work on Readings and Reflection, Canvas Assignment. Read two of the articles provided and write two reflections. If you are not sure what to write, consider the following:
-What was the name and source of the article?
-What was the article about? Write more than just one or two sentences here.
-How could the information in this article be used to improve human health?
-What was the most interesting thing that you learned from reading this article?
-What's Up With the Bacteria in Your Gut?

The image to the right shows the aortic arch. The aorta is the main artery that exits the heart. Notice the right and left coronary arteries that exit at the base of the arch to feed the with oxygenated blood.
Makeup and Work-day
Since some of you are making exam corrections and some of you are taking the exam, you will not be working in tandem (same task at same time). If it makes more sense to complete the second task below first, feel free to do so.
1st. Complete and upload to this Pituitary Gland Hormone Slideshow to Canvas. These will be presented later in the period.
Growth Hormone Luteinizing Hormone Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
Prolactin Follicle Stimulating Hormone Thyroid Stimulating Hormone
Oxytocin Antidiuretic Hormone (Vasopressin)
2nd. Complete this Endocrine Gland Identification and Function Assignment and upload to Canvas.
3rd. Free worktime. You can work on stuff for other classes if the tasks above are complete.
Alive Inside Video if Time

Also, make sure that you can explain the details regarding the mechanism(s) that the drug you researched uses to impact the nervous system.

Cranial nerves that control special senses light sight, hearing, taste, smell, and facial sensations emerge from the base of the brain. See visual to the right.

Nerve Impulse Picture Series...using the devices provided, take a PICTURE SERIES OF WHITEBOARD DRAWINGS that show a picture of each phase of an action potential and synaptic transmission of the impulse to another neuron (what happens at the synapse). Here is a Bozeman Science Video (starts around 4:50) that might be helpful, or you could use your class notes.
-Make the first picture on your device a selfie of your group.
-Make sure that you have a written explanation of what is happening at each stage.
-Conclude your series with a picture of how one of the drugs you are researching impacts the neuron.
-Place a sticky tape with your names on the device and hand it to M. Hee when complete for Canvas points.
-Make sure that each person in your group contributes!

Find out the impact of the drug on the body and particularly how it effects the nervous system including nerve cells. Write an informative paper (in your own words) on the drug you have chosen. Information to include:
1. Name of the drug (medical and common name).
2. What the drug is used for.
3. Who (demographics) usually takes the drug.
4. The overall effects of the drug on the body.
5. How, specifically, the drug works on the nerve cell. For example, does the drug block receptors or work on some other part of the nerve cell (neuron).
6. The side effects of the drug on the body as a whole, and on the individual neurons.
7. Other interesting information/facts about the drug.
8. A reference list. and in text citations. APA or MLA format
9. A sketch with annotations and labels (created by you) of the drug impacting a neuron (nerve cell). Can be embedded in the paper or uploaded as a separate picture/photo.

Study the following muscles:
Fossa = A relatively deep pit or depression
Example = Olecranona fossa of the humerus
Head = An enlargement of the end of a bone
Example = Head of the humerus
Tubercle = A small, knoblike process
Example = Greater tubercle of the humerus
Tuberosity = A knoblike process (your book says usually larger than a tubercle but that is not always the case)
Example = Radial tuberosity of the radius
Condyle = a rounded process, which usually articulates with another bone
Fontanel = a soft spot in the skull covered by membranes
Formen = an opening through a bone
Meatus = a tubelike passageway within a bone
Sinus = a cavity within a bone
Suture =an interlocking line of union between bones found where bones articulate (come together).
Facet = a small nearly flat surface.The arrows are pointing to enlarged external occipital protuberances (EEOP) has recently been in the news related to cell phone activity. What do you think excessive cell phone viewing will do to these bumps?
