yesterday:
we finished the appendicular notes by covering the differences between the pelvis of a male and female skeleton. with that information, we worked on an activity in which we measured lines on diagrams of a male pelvis and compared to the same measured lines on a diagram of a female pelvis. also, we measured actual pelvis models in order to compare the male pelvis to the female pelvis.
today:
we practiced labeling the full skeleton from the neck down in order to get more prepared for the quiz on thursday. the quiz will be half labeling the skeleton and half multiple choice questions. the labeling will focus on the full skeleton, including both the axial and appendicular skeletons. the multiple choice questions will be based solely off of the study guide i provide monday. for the skeletal diagram that we used to practice, look above. for the study guide, click the documents link and look for the "skeletal study guide."
after the labeling, i allowed everyone to finish the activity from monday. it was due by the end of the period and it will be a grade.
tomorrow:
half day so classes are only 30 min.

last week:
we covered the axial skeleton
- vertebrae, sternum, rib cage -
and on thursday as started working on
axial skeleton flash cards
which should have been labeled
over the long weekend.
today:
we went over what structures needed to be labeled on the axial skeleton flash cards. after that, we started on the appendicular skeleton. i gave out a table as the notes for this part of the unit in order to help organize the information a little better. i also gave out a skeleton diagram that should be labeled completely by the time we finish discussing all of the bones.
tomorrow:
we will continue discussing
the bones of the appendicular skeleton.
tomorrow afternoon is the last chance to make up any work that has not already been made up. after this time, all uncomplete assignments will receive a 0.

dont forget:
the skull quiz is on friday.
i will post a list of websites on my documents page that you can use to practice labeling the skull. some of the websites feature bones and bone markings we have not covered, so just ignore those. other websites test you to see how much you know. overall they are good resources for practicing.
below is a list of bones and bone markings that you will need to be able to label on skull pictures for the quiz. you are responsible for everything on the list. also below are pictures of skull at three different views. these pictures are for those students who were not able to finish labeling their skull worksheet.
Frontal bone
Parietal bones
Temporal bones
External auditory meatus
Styloid process
Zygomatic process
Mastoid process

the skull labeling quiz will be on monday.
also, for those who are interested:
i received an email saying that MUSC is looking for candy striper volunteers over the summer. this is a really great opportunity for those students who are interested in a career in healthcare, such as nursing. plus, volunteering always looks good on college applications. so if you would like more information just let me know and i can send you the brochure by email. or you can contact the following people at MUSC:

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.
