31.1.08

thursday january 31.

today:
we discussed the microscopic anatomy of bones. we also discussed how bones are formed during pregnancy and how they grow during childhood. once a person reaches adulthood, the bones stop growing and continue to remodel depending on calcium levels in the blood and the pull of muscles and gravity on the bones.

homework for tonight:
bone review worksheet

for tomorrow:
bone fractures

the quiz on the bone overview (part one of the skeletal system) will be next week. probably on tuesday, but make sure to study the material over the weekend. the notes for this part of the unit will be posted this weekend.
