Hey, welcome back from Thanksgiving vacation, hope it went well and that maybe you got some extra credit in the process...some things to watch out for and to be excited about in the coming days.  We'll be finishing up working on muscles this week and hopefully give you some good experience regarding not only understanding how muscles work, but how the process of science works so you can have an excellent experience for your Wolff's law projects....

A timeline of sorts for you:  This week finish muscle...test on Wednesday, take home portion of the test is due on Friday.

Thursday...begin the nervous system...of course we'll be drawing a bit and doing a lot of clinical type tests ranging from sensory and reflex testing to memory and cognitive tests as well.  The vocab is going to get steep, so we won't be doing the usual concept check questions, we'll be delving pretty deep into memorization and reading strategies...so get to class.

Next week...continue with your questions, learn how to test reflexes, do some sensory testing of people who live at home, learn about the placebo effect as well as the law of initial values, and hey, let's dissect a brain or two.
