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!

Complete the following chapter 1 review questions…

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

You will have a test on the heart, pregnancy and embryology case study and notes on Monday, 5/20/13.  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

Define the following: fertilization, gestation time, implantation, zygote, embryo, fetus, polar body, oocyte

Briefly describe the function of the following: acrosome, ovary, uterine tube, uterus, cervix, vagina, placenta, amniotic fluid

Read ‘A Closer Look’ on page 1068 and know the flowchart on page 1069.

What are ‘Hox’ genes? Why are they important to study? What evolutionary significance do they have?

Read and outline pages 1096-1104.

Look at table 29.2 in your book (pg. 1097). Know the weeks associated with each of the items I pointed out in class.

Answer the Clinical Application questions #1-4 on page 1107.

Complete the study guide pages given in class.

Due: Tuesday, 2/26/13

Homework

• Read the ‘Closer Look’ on page 179
• Read Making Clinical Connections on page 182
• Complete the Clinical Connections on page 183
• Put an raw egg in a glass of vinegar (enough to cover the egg) and leave it there for 1-2 days.  Then take the egg out and investigate.
• Put a cooked chicken leg bone (e.g. after you have eaten the muscle off of it for dinner) in a glass of vinegar (enough to cover the bone).  Leave it there for 2-3 days.  Then take the bone out and investigate.

Test

• Test on the skeletal system notes given in class.
• The test will be on Thursday, 2/14/13

Your skeletal practical will be based on your signup date/time on the sheet in the classroom.  The available dates are 2/20 – 2/22/13.  These dates are a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  The practical will consist of 3 identification questions (using bones I have in class) based on the bone list given in class and then you will build either a hand/wrist/arm or a foot/ankle/leg.  I will assign you one of them during the practical – you will not know which before-hand, so practice (a lot) with both.  After you build the upper or lower limb, you will name all the bones.  You do not need to name the parts of each bone (e.g. tibial tuberosity), just the name of the bones.  You will have 4 minutes and 30 seconds to complete the entire practical (3 questions, build and name).

Practical dates: 2/20/13 – 2/22/13

Complete the following to learn some nutrition facts and why we need to eat…

1. Take the PCRM nutrition quiz.
2. Complete the “Why Do We Need to Eat?” handout given in class.
   1. Create a Google spreadsheet and share it with me.
   2. Fill in all the necessary information as shown on the handout.
3. Research the question, “Is drinking milk good or bad for us?”  Type a one page summary on a new tab in the spreadsheet you created in #2 above.  Be sure to include studies and citations.

A copy of the handout can be found here.

Anatomy students should be ready for your skeletal anatomy test after break.  The test will be based on the bone list you were given in class.  The test will mostly consist of pictures and you have to identify whatever bone or part of a bone is being pointed to.  There are a few terms on the sheet that are ideas rather than parts, such as kyphosis vs. lordosis, and you should know what those terms mean also.
