Complete Labeling Activities for Ch 7 and Ch 8
This is a very good practice as you will find naming and labeling questions on the exam.
Review Ch 5: For the names of the bone structures, you need to know all names that are covered on the Review slides for Exam 2 for Ch 5..
Review Ch 6: For the names of the muscles, you need to study all names on Tables 6.3 and 6.4 (pages 216 and 217), except erector spinae and quadratus lumborum.
Coming up next week: Exam 2!
