Heart, Pregnancy and Embryology Test

You will have a test on the heart, pregnancy and embryology case study and notes on Wednesday, 5/13/15 (Tuesday 5/12/15 for D-period).  You were given a list of goals and objectives in class.

A practice test has been put online and can be accessed at
http://www.docfleetwood.net/anatomy/studyguides/heartpracticetest.htm

The test is only for practice, although you must put in your name. Please use your real name when you take it so I can see how you are doing. You may take it multiple times.

As a practice test, it does not include all information that may be asked on the actual test. It should, however, be a good indicator the types of questions you will see and the bulk of the content.

You should also read the following pages in the textbook: pages 671(start with sequence of excitation)-675 (up to mechanical events)

In the end, you should know the pathway of the electrical signal through the heart and how to read an ECG/EKG. You should be able to explain what is occurring in the heart during the PQRST waves on the ECG/EKG.

Then read the section on page 677-678 “heart sounds”.

Answer the clinical application questions # 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 on page 689.

You should also know all of the information from the handouts given in class (heart conduction system, blood flow, blood vessels etc…)  You should be able to label the blood vessels (arteries) on the diagram. You should know all the pictured arteries for the test.

Have fun and study, study, study

What is it?
What are the signs and symptoms?
How do we detect/diagnose it? (genetic, imaging, blood test, visually, etc…)
How do we treat it?
What is the prognosis if untreated?  treated?

2. Write a 5 question (multiple choice) quiz (per disease). Include the answers and make sure that your classmates will be able to answer those questions after your presentation as they may be on the upcoming test.

Nutrition and Why We Need to Eat 2014

Complete the spreadsheet that was shared with you in your Google Drive titled, “Why Do We Need To Eat”.  The document is shared with each member of your table group so you will complete it together.

  • For the ‘Good Sources’ column name 3 good food sources for that item
  • For the ‘Named Examples’ column
    • Give 3 examples each of named carbohydrates, proteins and lipids found in the body.
    • For the vitamins, give the name of the vitamin if it has one.  If it does not have one then just leave it blank.  For example, Vitamin B1 is also called thiamine.
  • For the ‘Disorders’ columns – name the disorder and give a few symptoms/problems the person will have as a result.  Some items will not have an associated problem if you take too much – if that is the case then type ‘none’ in that box.
  • Nothing will go in the two rows that are labeled ‘Vitamins’ or ‘Minerals’ – they are just header rows for the items beneath them.

Due: G & H period: Tuesday, 11/18/14; D period: Wednesday, 11/19/14

Torso Practical Retake 2014

The retakes for the torso practical will be on Thursday, 10/30/14 after school.  The rules will be as follows:

  • Anyone can choose to retake the practical.
  • You can earn a full 100%.
  • Your second grade will replace your first grade.
  • You can do WORSE.
  • Let me repeat – your grade can go DOWN if you choose to retake the practical – your new grade will replace your first grade whether it is better or worse!  So choose wisely.
  • You will lay out the pieces on the table in the order you wish.
  • You may hold one piece in one hand and touch some part of the model with your other hand to orient yourself.
  • You will close your eyes and complete the practical with your eyes closed.
  • If you open your eyes, you get a zero.
  • If you knock pieces on the floor, that will be a significant problem for you, so don’t do that.
  • You will have 2 minutes and 15 seconds to complete the practical.
