Go to this site and run various trial experiments and try to predict what the patient will say.

Then go to this site and read about Split Brain Syndrome.

Then go to this site and run the Split Brain Experiment.

Test Tuesday, 10/27/09 on chapters 1-3, class notes, and the NIGMS book read in class.  You can take a short practice test to give you an idea of what to expect here: http://docfleetwood.net/anatomy/studyguides/bioreviewpractice.htm

Read the book Medicines by Design and answer the “Got It?” questions at the end of each chapter on a separate sheet of paper.  Then read the booklet, From Molecules to Medicines and summarize the various scientific findings on each page.  A few sentences per segment should be enough.

These books should remain in class but a companion website can be found here:

• Medicines by Design: http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/medbydesign/
• From Molecules to Medicines: http://publications.nigms.nih.gov/moleculestomeds/

Use your textbook to complete the following for anatomy:

1. Read and outline pages 94-95 (A Closer Look: Cancer)
2. Answer the following questions: page 61, clinical application #3; page 107, clinical application #1-3.
3. Complete the study guide packet given in class.

Your group will design its own infomercial for a product of your choice. The product may already exist or you may invent your own. The infomercial and product must be rated for television, so keep it clean! This assignment is an opportunity for you to practice your terminology so you will remember it better. Therefore the infomercial must contain at least 35 terminology words. These words may already exist or you may combine your own prefixes, word roots and suffixes to make up your own words. You can also use body regions, body planes, body structures etc…  These words should flow throughout the presentation, not be clumped into one part. Additionally, you should follow these rules:

• Presentation is 8-12 minutes. You will be penalized if you go under 8 minutes or over 12 minutes (even by 1 second!) – television time is precious and adhered to strictly – the tv station would cut you off.

• Your group must type the final script and hand it in before your presentation. Each terminology term should be in bold and underlined.

• You must memorize your parts – you may not have your script in front of you.

• A group member may hold up cue cards ‘off camera’ but they must also participate on camera

• Everyone must participate!

• You should accentuate each term when you use it in your skit.

• Optional – you may videotape it ahead of time **

• You should be excited about your product – I should wonder how I ever lived without it!

** = I have higher expectations for pre-taped versions!

Due:  Monday, 10/5/09

Complete the following chapter 1 review questions…

MC 1-5, SA 11-13, CA 2

Use your book and/or other sources to complete the table of prefixes, suffixes, and word roots given out in class.  Make up your own examples (these do not have to be ‘real’ words), do not use the examples in the book!

Due: Thursday, 9/17/09

Welcome to the 2009-2010 school year!  Let us all work together to make this year a great one.

All students who must take the final will take it during the senior final exam time.  The final will include the information on the nervous system up to and including the hypothalamus.

You can download a pdf copy of notes for the Central Nervous System by clicking here.  You should print these out at home and bring them to class.
