Hi y'all! Anybody taking A&P 1 this coming spring semester? I'm trying to get as many pre-req's out of the way as possible and could use a study buddy or 2! Thanks! :)

You'll be ok, just keep trying! To me it gets easier as you get used to the class and how you have to study to learn. Good job in Nutrition!

I guess this has turned into the A&P Summer 2008 thread...lol. Anyways, I'm taking Intro to A&P, in a summer semester, so it's four weeks long. My question is...Does anyone know of a site where I can find information on all four tissue types, where they are located, and what their specific function is in that location? I.E.- the questions on this lab are something like, What type of tissue is located in the ureter and what is its function? I've looked at most of the sites on histology that everyone has posted, but it's nothing that I need. I'm looking for a table or something.

EWW- I am taking my lab quiz today on tissues - wish me luck. I have really found out I get Simple Squamous when studing A&P :) I am pulling a C right now, and study constantly. I do the note cards and write, write, write reorganizing my notes. still just plan out hard. I am pulling a F/T summer semester, which I am wondering if was a mistake with A&P...Any study memorization tips would help for me as well, although I have realized A&P is more than memorization to pull past a C, because they quiz for understanding and not knowledge....good luck all, I feel the pain!

Good luck!
I'm simply taking intro to A&P but I took A&P right up until the last date to drop the class with a grade of "W." I remember the lab practical where we had to identify 30 some-odd tissues under a microscope.
My best advice is to keep the flash cards coming...it's the only way I'm surviving. Try to study characteristics like simple is one layer, stratified is many layers, ciliated has cilia on the apical surface...etc. If you know the characteristics, you should be fine.
Eh. I hope that helps. Let us know how it goes.
Today, we are studying the peripheral and central nervous system...yay. We covered it for three hours on Thursday and I took 9 pages of notes. We're still not even half way done with studying the nervous system.
We're studying the blood now and I found a mnemonic to help me remember the 5 types of WBC's tested in a differential WBC Count:
Never Let Monkeys Eat Bananas (N=neutrophils, L=lymphocytes, M=monocytes, E=eosinophils, and B=basophils)

on my class there were 8 of us, ad just 1 person got a B the rest of us pulled A's !!!
class is coming along...i got the first 70 which was a quiz..on the first exam i got an 80...and the first lab exam i got an 89... so i'm getting a little better!!! as summer session is so condensed, my prof told us just last week, that were having another lab exam on the bones NEXT week...we have to know 150 bones, by next week...wonderful..
All I have left to do is the final exam, which is this Monday.
It's 100 questions (worth a point each) and all I need is an 86 to get an "A".
Oh, the suspense...

hey does anyone know anyway of remembering the bones of the foot?
i found a pneumonic device for the carpals of the hand -
sad (scaphoid) lonely (lunate) travis (triquetral) pushes (pisiform) his (hamate) cart (capitate) through (trapezoid) texas (trapezium)
also are there any sites that quiz you on tissues by showing you pictures of real tissues and asking what they are?
im going to have a lab practical on bones and tissues in about a week and a half!
