Homework assigned March 6th due March 13th

During the lab on Friday the students started anatomy workbooks. We re-visited the lab from the week before (modeling sight defects). We discussed and wrote down the information that needs to be put in the lab notebook. Since most of these labs are dissections and looking at anatomy, we will not do formal write-ups. The students will be graded on the quality of their notebooks and information will be used from the labs in the take home tests.

The lab this week focused on aspects of the skeletal-muscular system. We used examples of different hinges and applied movement of various pieces of hardware to our own bodies and how they move in an attempt to classify the types of joints in our bodies. We then dissected a chicken wing and looked at and manipulated the tendons, ligaments and muscles and determined how and where they are attached to each other and how they function in moving the body. This lab is on page 930 of the textbook. Please answer all lab questions in your lab notebook and add more information/background based on the lab.

Homework to be passed in on March 13th: students should read chapter 36, Skeletal, Muscular and Integumentary Systems and answer questions on p.925, 931 and 936.
