Vodcast to help understanding the role of insulin:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPLjSY00JlE

April 30: Read Chapter 17 pages 574-582. Answer the checkpoints (end of each section) and learning outcomes (p574). You will not need to learn every detail of these metabolic pathways. The emphasis is on "basic steps." Your diskette is a good source of learning, also, if it works on your computer.

April 28: Study for a cardiac system test Thursday. The seven skills/knowledge you need are:

-be able to label the structures of the heart

-identify the function of each heart structure

-map the pathway that blood takes from the heart to lungs to heart to body and back to the heart

-map the conduction pathway of the heart

-describe what the heart is doing during the cardiac cycle (systole and diastole) - includes which valves open and close, which chambers are contracting or relaxing

-apply the equation for cardiac output (CO=HR x SV)

-Interpret an EKG pattern - identify p, qrs, t waves; describe what causes each of these waves; estimate heart rate; determine if pattern is normal

-explain how a blood pressure cuff works; what each number means and the range of normal values

April 15: In your text, read pages 428-434. Answer the Checkpoints. Pay particular attention to the box on atherosclerosis. We will look at blood pressure on Friday.

April 13: Do the April 9 HW.

April 9:

Three tutorials, each 5 minutes in length. I would like to be able to show you EKGs on Monday and have you (1) identify the waves and what they mean, & (2) tell me normal or abnormal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnJsol9sWfA First in a series of EKG tutorials. You don't need to know everything about lead placement, but DO notice how the orientation of the leads correspond to the part of the heart they are picking up. This is why we get the tracing pattern that we get.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MRj8lheYDo This is the second installment on the EKG waves and connecting them to the depolarization and repolarization.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCmtP7597PI This is the third installment, which will get into abnormalities and what they indicate.

April 7: Study your class and HW notes on cardiac output. In your text on pages 426-7, do the cardiac output questions: #21, 27, 28, 33, 34. Then proceed to the conduction system: read pages 416-419 and do the checkpoints. Your CD-Rom has a good tutorial on conduction as well. On Thursday, be ready to interpret ECGs, meaning what do each of the "bumps" mean, what is normal or not normal.

April 3: Use your textbook (Chapter 12 Section 3: Cardiac Cycle) to complete the answers to the worksheet we started in class. Then read Section 12-4 on Cardiac Output (physiology). Meanwhile, commit to memory the chambers and valves of the heart and how blood flows through the heart.

April 1: Dr Khan explains the cardiac cycle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4kGMI-qQ3I

Argumentative Essay - Q3 Project

Your choice of topic, or if you have another idea, run it by me first.

Discuss Dr. Sayer's scientific method across the duration of the film. Through Internet research, determine if his method would be used in 2015.
Discuss the key impairment that all of Dr. Sayer's patients had in common, ie, frozen limbs & seeming “out to lunch” (nonverbal, staring into space). Were they “alive inside”, knowing how many years they had been in the hospital, or were they actually “away”, not knowing time had passed. Either way you vote, identify, describe and explain the brain structure(s) that would have accounted for these impairments. (Note: A good place to start is the substantia nigra where dopamine is made.)
As far as I know, “Chronic Hospitals” have been phased out of our health care system. Determine where and how a person with a similar form of encephalopathy would be cared for today.
Given the outcome of the experiment, were patients and their families better off having tried the medication, or would it have been better not to have participated? Be sure to support your answer with reasonable evidence.

March 10, 2015: Review the notes we made for contraction of a muscle unit and whole muscle contraction. When I return I will have "clicker questions" for you on those.

Meanwhile, read the text on sensory and motor pathways Section 8.10, pp 287-289. This is what I started to talk about today in terms of the cerebral cortex. You have a precentral gyrus (primary motor cortex) and a postcentral gyrus (primary sensory cortex) which connect to the motor and sensory pathways to/from the body, respectively. Let's start here.

Wednesday, Feb 25:

(1) Go through the CD-ROM tutorial for Neuromuscular Junction and Contraction of Motor Units. Read the same sections in your textbook pp 200-202 (NMJ) and 206-208 (Recruitment of Motor Units).

http://www.ib.bioninja.com.au/higher-level/topic-11-human-health-and/112-muscles-and-movement.html This looks like an interesting review site for muscles. Optional/FYI

Friday: Practice test on muscles.

What you need to know about muscles:

a. Given a name, describe what the muscle does or where it is located.

b. Given a name or group, name the antagonists

c. Given an action, name the muscle or group that participates.

d. Know the special property of being connected to the radius.

e. Know that the gluts, IT band and TFL lock the knee

f. Know that the hamstrings stabilize the knee b/c of different hip insertions, and they are the “standing muscles

g. Know thorax muscles that move the shoulder and arm – names and what they do

h. EC: rotator cuff muscles – name and what they have in common (insertion)

I. You do NOT need to study: spinal muscles, pelvic floor

Mon, Feb 23: Read Section 7-3 in your text (pp 197-to top of 200 - do the Checkpoints. Then read 202-203. In you CD-Rom, in the Muscular System, do the activity called Sliding Filament Theory.

***I have a worksheet for you to help you capture the key ideas. It is in the A&P box at the front of the room. I will track you down or you can pop by and pick one up!

Wednesday I will see how you're doing learning your muscles.

Thurs, Feb 12: IN CLASS: This guy (Dr. Preddy) is really good. See what you think.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDXUwErttJA - muscles of the arm Pt 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTpgrBYLX7A - muscles of the leg Pt 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4dEnnIROcU - muscles of the leg Pt 2

There's more of him on YouTube. Just look!

GOAL for when we get back from break: You know your appendicular muscles cold!

Tues, Feb 10:

You are learning actions of the shoulder and arm muscles. These are helpful sites.

Great online practice matching muscles with their location; muscles with their function.

http://highered.mheducation.com/sites/0072495855/student_view0/chapter12/labeling_exercises.html# (Muscle location)

http://quizlet.com/2733951/muscle-function-matching-flash-cards/ (Muscle name/function)

Thurs, Feb 5: Read and answer the Checkpoint questions for sections 7.1, 7.2, 7.9. Learn the terms in Table 7-3 on page 218. Once you have these learned, you will be a musculoskeletal expert! The name says it all.

Tues, Feb 3: Sorry! We lost a day this week, but we will still need to take a quiz on the skeletal system Thursday. You will have lots of review materials by the end of class today. Know the bones and the types of joints of the body. You only need to know the landmarks for your bones - the ones you chose to learn.

Thurs, Jan 29: (1)You are studying your bone names and the landmarks of the bones that are "yours." You are also learning what the landmarks are for, ie, muscle attachment, etc. (2) Read sections 6-9 to 6-11.

Mon, Jan 26: Study the names of the bones that were presented to you by your classmates today: the skull, the pelvis, and the upper extremity. We'll learn the lower extremity, vertebrae, and the thorax during the next class. You should start to learn the landmarks on the bones you are responsible for. Table 6-1 on page 153 shows the names of surface features that your bone might have. Chapter 6 Review (pp 185-188) will help you determine the most important landmarks to include.

Thurs, Jan 22: Read Chapter 6 pages 142-154, the Skeletal System. Answer the Check Points along the way. Keep studying your vocabulary in Chapter 1 re: orientation, abdominal quadrants, and plane of section. I might offer you a quiz on Monday! :)

---------------------------------------------------------

(3) The Nervous System Unit will wrap up Thursday (review day) with a short exam on Monday, Jun 9. We will then start the Musculoskeletal Unit together.

(4) If you still need to watch the Boy with the Incredible Brain, here it is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z22H89rIMHk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAUjHt--a0k - Another very interesting story - nurture or nature?

Week 17:

Wed, May 29: Finish watching "Mr. Yorkshire" and his upper body nerve exam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7H1pqRlVqc

Then watch Mr. Yorkshire and his lower body nerve exam.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jz_sE4A0nWA

*I'm thinking he may be "Mr.Yorkshire" instead

Week 16:

Dr Saks talks about his patients https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNum0dTYalk

Fri, May 23: Read sections 8.8 through 8.10 in your text. Answer the checkpoint questions. Key in on the "Big Picture" boxes. (Don't panic about the cranial nerves. I will summarize and simplify for you next Wed.)

Wed, May 21:

(1) Study your brain functions and locations.

(2) Select one of these three neurological illnesses - stroke (cerebral vascular accident or CVA); epilepsy; or Parkinson's Disease. Look up info in your text and online - I recommend the National Institutes of Health web sites - to answer these questions.

-What causes the condition?

-How does the illness present? (i.e., history, signs and symptoms)

-Is the illness treatable/ what are the treatment(s)?

-How long can patients live with this condition?

Now, don't try to find exhaustive answers!! Get an idea. Some of these conditions come in many forms - just focus on one form if you see that you have entered a vast landscape of info. Ask me questions if you are still unsure.

The expectation is that on Friday, you present five minutes of what you learned to answer these four questions.

Monday, May 19: Learn the functions and locations in the brain of the 13 structures from your in-class "quiz" (handout). Pages 268, 272 and 275 are all helpful. ALSO, p 275 text will explain the functions of the limbic system and the basal nuclei. Be ready to "show what ya know" on Wednesday.

Week 15: We started watching this program. I am interested in checking out the "Interactive Teenage Brain Scan" - that's new. Your HW is to lock into long-term memory the three main parts of the brain and their constituents.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/teenbrain/

Tues, May 13: http://www.bozemanscience.com/the-brain Structure and Function of Brain - watch and take notes.

OMG! When you get to the end of this vodcast, Mr. Andersen has embedded a one hour documentary from the UK called "The Boy with the Incredible Brain." You must watch this ASAP! (You will click on the image of a blond man in glasses.)

Read Text Section 8.7 on the brain (pages 267-278). There is alot to learn. For Thursday, be ready to identify the major cortical structures and their functions (267-272).

Week 14:

Fri, May 9: Study your review sheet and other notes. Test on this material Tuesday.

Wed, May 7: Games due today, unless you have been given extra time to revise. Study your packet - the endocrine CD-Rom slides and the fill-in-the-blank / short answer worksheet for a test next Tuesday. You will have a substitute teacher on Friday and I will plan review activities for you, which can include the games you played today.

Monday, May 5: Game should be ready to play on Wed.

Week 13:

Thursday, May 1: Get your game to the point it can be tested by you (at a minimum) then played by others on Monday.

Tuesday, April 29:

Design a game to help you and your class learn the basics of energy use in the body.

Step 1: The game needs a goal. Some examples of goals could be (a) Complete a marathon; (b) Participate in a hot dog-eating contest; (c) Complete a weight-lifting session; (d) Eat lunch at school; (e) Sit through an 84-minute class at school; (f) Watch a scary movie; (g) Escape from a maximum-security prison; (h) Heal a broken femur; (i) Grow three inches in one year; (j) Gain five pounds; (k) Your ideas....

Step 2: Map out what anabolism and/or catabolism is going to happen. Include the molecules, enzymes (generally), hormones, body organs, body cells, etc. that have to participate.

Step 3: Consider games that rely on strategy or competitiveness so that the participants are motivated to meet the goal. Consider how long one round of the game will take, e.g., Monopoly-type games are probably not a good choice b/c they take a long time to finish. Keep it simple: this is not meant to be a "life project."

**I want you to get this far by the start of Thursday's class. You may partner with one other classmate.

(Although we will have some class time for this, you can certainly proceed to ......

Step 4: Put the game together. An example might be a variation of the card game War. Your card deck actually corresponds to steps in your metabolic & catabolic pathways. You have the pathways on a gameboard (piece of paper). The winner of each round gets to confirm that step in the pathway on the gameboard. For instance, Ace of Spades and Jack of Hearts are turned up. Ace of Spades corresponds to ATP production. That player marks ATP production as turned on. First player to get the whole pathway marked wins. The preparation for this game would not be too time-consuming or difficult.

Week 12:

Friday, April 25: Review the answers to the CD-Rom segment on Insulin and Glucagon as well as the energy vodcast. Monday we will integrate the two sources to answer the question, "How do we use energy?"

Wednesday, April 23: Vodcast on metabolism. Take notes. This presenter is excellent: she speaks slowly and her visual is simple to follow and copy. 11 minutes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ1QGZ6gJ8w

Please also study your new endocrine handout

Monday, April 21

(1) Complete the vocabulary activity sheet.

(2) Read pages 364-5 on the Endocrine Pancreas and answer Checkpoints Q19, 20, 21.

Tues, Mar 25: Complete the Urinary System Anatomy Review worksheet using your CD-ROm and/or the textbook (Urinary System chapter).

Looking for a review of the three respiratory diseases we discussed on Friday?

Here it is:

"Asthma is a chronic disease that affects your airways. Your airways are tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs. If you have asthma, the inside walls of your airways become sore and swollen. That makes them very sensitive, and they may react strongly to things that you are allergic to or find irritating. When your airways react, they get narrower and your lungs get less air.

Symptoms of asthma include

Wheezing
Coughing, especially early in the morning or at night
Chest tightness
Shortness of breath

Not all people who have asthma have these symptoms. Having these symptoms doesn't always mean that you have asthma. Your doctor will diagnose asthma based on lung function tests, your medical history, and a physical exam. You may also have allergy tests.

When your asthma symptoms become worse than usual, it's called an asthma attack. Severe asthma attacks may require emergency care, and they can be fatal.

Asthma is treated with two kinds of medicines: quick-relief medicines to stop asthma symptoms and long-term control medicines to prevent symptoms."

Source: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/asthma.html

"Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease of the mucus and sweat glands. It affects mostly your lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses and sex organs. CF causes your mucus to be thick and sticky. The mucus clogs the lungs, causing breathing problems and making it easy for bacteria to grow. This can lead to problems such as repeated lung infections and lung damage.

The symptoms and severity of CF vary widely. Some people have serious problems from birth. Others have a milder version of the disease that doesn't show up until they are teens or young adults.

Although there is no cure for CF, treatments have improved greatly in recent years. Until the 1980s, most deaths from CF occurred in children and teenagers. Today, with improved treatments, some people who have CF are living into their forties, fifties, or older."

Source: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cysticfibrosis.html

"Emphysema is a type of COPD involving damage to the air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. As a result, your body does not get the oxygen it needs. Emphysema makes it hard to catch your breath. You may also have a chronic cough and have trouble breathing during exercise.

The most common cause is cigarette smoking. If you smoke, quitting can help prevent you from getting the disease. If you already have emphysema, not smoking might keep it from getting worse. Treatment is based on whether your symptoms are mild, moderate or severe. Treatments include inhalers, oxygen, medications and sometimes surgery to relieve symptoms and prevent complications."

Week 8:

Fri, Mar 21:

Review your notes and worksheets about Gas Exchange and Gas Transport, plus review Blood Pressure worksheets for a new quiz on Tuesday. We will continue review for the first part of class. E-mail me with your questions in the meantime.

Great vodcast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHi9ctwDUnc by KhanAcademyMedicine explaining the oxygen dissociation curve. (Remember that knowing which effect is "Bohr" and which is "Haldane" is less important than understanding that an effect that increases O2 uptake will make CO2 'dumping' easier; and vice versa.)

Wed, Mar 19:

Watch this video made by a girl from the UK with cystic fibrosis. It's very well done and quite informative. Make a note of what her treatments consist of and why she needs each one.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn0grhu9h4g (about 11 minutes)

If you are interested, this is another video by this young woman during a hospital admission. You'll get exposure to medical devices, procedures, and Xrays.

(1) Make sure the page 436 image (capillary hydrostatic pressure vs. osmotic pressure) makes sense to you. You should be able to explain why nutrients and oxygen know to exit the capillary on the arteriole side and why wastes enter the capillary on the venule side.

(2) Friday, there will be a substitute teacher. Students retaking the cardio exam will do so, then you will practice taking blood pressures on each other. Record the SP and DP. Calculate PP and MAP. Find a range and average for the class.

(3) Study your blood pressure worksheets and notes. Quiz Monday.

Week 5:

Fri, Feb 28:

(1) Watch "The Cardiovascular System: Measuring Blood Pressure" on your disc and complete the worksheet of the same title.

(2) Read Chapter 15 from pages 502 to 518 (Respiratory System). Do the Checkpoint questions along the way.

Wed, Feb 26:

(1) Read pages 434-444 in your textbook, which correspond to Section 13.2 "Pressure and resistance determine blood flow and affect rates of capillary exchange" and Section 13.3 "Cardiovascular regulation involves autoregulation, neural mechanisms, and endocrine responses."

(2) Do the Checkpoint questions at the end of each section.

(3) Watch "The Cardiovascular System: Factors that Affect Blood Pressure" on your disc and complete the worksheet of the same title. (Your textbook can also provide most, if not all, of the answers.)

Mon, Feb 24:

1. Complete the worksheet "Anatomy Review: Blood vessel structure and function." Lots of new vocabulary. I suggest you start a list of definitions.

2. Web pages to allow you to compare and contrast different muscle tissues (smooth, cardiac, skeletal). Corresponds to text pages 112-114.

Week 4:

Fri, Feb 14 Happy Valentine's Day and First Day of Vacation!

Looks like the test will take place on Monday when we get back to school after the Feb break.

The "Practice Test" and all of your worksheets show the content you need to know:

(1) the structures of the heart - chambers, valves, major arteries and veins

(2) the conduction pathway of the heart: the names of the structures, their function

(3) the cardiac cycle: follow the blood through the heart; what contracts, what closes, what opens, what relaxes at each stage (systole and diastole)

(4) When is the blood deoxygenated, when is it oxygenated

(5) Relate the heart sounds to steps in the cardiac cycle (what makes the "lub"? What makes the "dub"?) What causes a murmur (in general)?

(6) Cardiac output: Know the equation and be able to use it given some information. What situations increase CO? Increase HR? Increase SV?

As stated in the Feb 12 posting, We will go over the practice test first then take the test.

Wed, Feb 12:

Practice test for HW. We will go over answers then take Chapter 12 exam Friday.

Mon, Feb 10:

(3) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex1k_MPF-w4 Introduction to EKG Interpretation Part 1 (8 minutes). Teaches you how to measure the rate and rhythm of a heart beat.

(4) In the other packet, use your text to help you answer the multiple-choice questions. The information about how the Vernier EKG probe works is for your interest.

Thurs, Jan 30:

Chapter 12 pages 405-425. Do the Checkpoint questions as you find them. (Remember that we don't have class again until Monday. You have Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon morning to complete this! Lots of time)

Learning Goals: (1) You need to be solid on the info in Section 12-1 (surface and deep anatomy). (2) You need to know definition and function of the words in bold in the rest of the chapter. (3) What is systole and diastole? (4) What is cardiac output and how is it calculated?
