  2. Caroline Young, M.S. Summer 1 2011 cyoung@twcnet.edu cyoung.athens@yahoo.com 252-1116 Anatomy & Physiology I

  3. Background • B.A. in Biology from Transylvania Univ. in Lexington, KY • M.S. in Physiology and Biophysics Univ. of Louisville, Louisville, KY

  4. Research at University of Louisville School of Medicine, Department of Neurology • Studied treatment of epileptic seizures in an animal model • Participated in multicenter drug trial for antiepileptic medication

  5. Teaching • TWC • Brown Mackie College • Univ of Louisville

  6. A&P I Lecture Topics Introduction , Scientific Method Chemistry Review Organic and Biochemistry Review Cell Biology Tissues, Glands, and Membranes Skeletal Physiology Muscle Physiology The Nervous System

  7. Lab Topics • Language of Anatomy; Microscopy • Histology • Appendicular and Axial Skeletal System • Muscular System: Tissue, Muscles of Head, Trunk, Upper, and Lower Limbs • Nervous System: Tissues, Anatomy of the Brain, Spinal cord, Spinal and Cranial Nerves, Reflexes and Receptors, Spinal Tracts

  8. Grades • Lecture Exams Lecture Exam 1= 100 points Lecture Exam 2= 100 points Lecture Exam 3= 100 points Lecture Exam 4= 100 points • Final Exam: Cumulative = 100 points • Homework/ In class assignments = 100 points • Lab Exams Lab Exam 1= 100 points Lab Exam 2= 100 points Lab Exam 3= 100 points So, total grade is out of 900 possible points.

  9. Why are you here? • Take a minute to write down in the front of your notebook why you are taking A and P this summer. • When you get tired of studying it may be helpful to refer back to this 

  10. Some Definitions • What is Anatomy and Physiology? • Anatomy-

  11. Some Definitions • What is Anatomy?

  12. Some Definitions • What is Physiology?

  13. How many of each major? • Pre-nursing • Pre-pharmacy • Exercise Science • Pre-PT • Education Majors • What other majors?

  14. In Class Assignment • Get together with your major and write down as a group why it is important to have a good understanding of A and P for your major

  15. How to Succeed • Learning A and P is not a passive process • You cannot skip class, come to lab late, ignore the assignments, and/ or study halfheartedly at the last minute and hope to do well in this class • There is no extra credit, so you must earn your grade by performing well on the lecture and lab exams and assignments

  16. How To Succeed • Come to class and actively participate. • Pay attention in class • Do assigned reading • Bring textbook to class and lab • Take good notes; rework them. Look at a classmates notes as well as your own. • Power points • Study hard • For some of you this may be the hardest class you will ever take

  17. Learning Styles • http://www.chaminade.org/INSPIRE/LEARNSTL.HTM • Visual Learners: draw diagrams and chart concepts • Auditory Learners: listen to lecture tapes • Kinesthetic or Tactile Learners: learn from models and specimens, learn by doing

  18. “Big picture” learning • start reading by reviewing back of chapter review first, then go back and read details

  19. Time Management • Put your time plan down on paper • Don’t short yourself on study time • Learn when to say “no” to other activities

  20. Reading Strategy • SURVEY the chapter before you read it • Ask yourself questions • Read the chapter: Don’t forget tables, illustrations, and figures

  21. Analyze your Note Taking Skills • Plan for note taking; be ready before class begins. Best bet is to print out ppts and take notes on those. • Listen well. Determine main points and relationship between concepts. • Pay attention and take note of clues as to questions • Be concise, use abbreviations, symbols, and diagrams • Process your notes: within 24 hrs work with your notes to clarify what you wrote

  22. Notes Continued • Write it out: make your notes as complete as possible • Look for connections, one of the secrets to A&P is understanding how things are related to one another

  23. Study Actively • Answer Questions/ do work assigned by instructor • Hint: The language of A&P is really a foreign language. It’s mostly Latin. It really helps to look at work parts and their meanings. • Keep up with new vocabulary (flash cards can help with this) • Use computer assisted tutorials, visualizations, or reviews • Form a study group

  24. Memory Tip • Memory researcher Robert Bjork • “The typical college student spends far too much time reading and underlining and far too little time summarizing, paraphrasing, and testing his or her ability to retrieve what has been studied.” • Inputting and encoding vs retrieval and outputting of information • Testing has to do with retrieval and outputting of information so don’t forget this important step when you are studying
