Okay, so Monday the 25th is review...journal requirements, etc. and Chapter 11...the first two concept checks on pages 416 and 424, then, on the same assignment, find a rule of three for the layers of an artery, the layers of the heart, and the structure of a valve...
On Tuesday the 26th, we'll start with some actual experiments on the heart to see how we all respond to tiny changes in our environment. So will your heart respond to one hand being warmer than the other, will heart rate change if your face is exposed to the cold, will breathing in certain ways affect how your heart works?
On Wednesday, the 27th, we'll finish that lab up and compare it to our homeostasis handout, from way back and figure out whether or not that confusing piece of literature is factual or not...We'll also examine the mechanics and actual taking of Blood Pressure.
On Thursday, the 28th, we'll keep moving forward with our blood pressure studies and figure out a theoretical way of recording blood pressure without using the stethoscope, then we'll start our Elvis Lab and be a consultant for the king of rocknroll's return.
On Friday, the 1st of March, we'll kiss February goodbye and continue our lab work with Elvis, really important that we get this started well.

Excellent work this week everyone, you tackled the reading, the notes and the heart dissection with enthusiasm and did very well overall. If you missed either Thursday or Friday, please be advised that you should make up for lost points by either demonstrating Harvey's law on a member of your family and providing some sort of verification for that or you should do a couple homeostasis graphs for structures of the week.
Also wanted to post the numerous extra credit things you could do if you were so inclined, which is kind of important since 6 week grades are due this week...
...Draw a diagram of the heart, by simply looking at an upside down diagram of the internal structure of the heart.
...Demonstrate Harvey's experiment with veins on a family member...
...Draw a homeostasis graph and label where a fast heart rate would go (tachycardia), where a slow heart rate would go (bradycardia) and where the sympathetic nervous system stimulation would be and where parasympathetic nervous system stimulation would be.
...Write a paragraph that uses at least 5 words that come from roots that we've featured so far this semester, oh and the paragraph has to be about human anatomy and something we've studied this semester.
Remember, above is extra credit, it doesn't get counted unless all your work is in, so don't get too focused on the extra's, but remember they are there after you've done your best on the daily work.

Okay, so functional assessment week...it's just forty questions, but I know it's intimidating, so here's some hints. One...check your notes against someone elses, obviously this helps to eliminate doubts about anything you may have missed, next look at how your classmate's write stuff down, is your notebook in need of some organizing, if so, get going - the best way to study any material is to rewrite material.
Next, review the material and ask yourself questions...look through chapter 13, look through the homeostasis handout and read some of the material with questions in mind...if you see a diagram showing the five features that must be maintained for each cell, think to yourself, how is someone going to ask me about this diagram and what can I do, right now, to remember it.
More to come on how to study this stuff, but if you can answer the question implied above, and explain how you're going to remember it, write it down on a sheet of paper and turn it in for extra credit.
