Umm... I have no idea actually.

So my online anatomy class has recently found out that, despite what grade we achieve mathematically, if we don't get at least a 65% on the cumulative final (which by the way, the teacher WILL NOT make a study guide for because we get random questions from a test bank) we fail the class. My whole class is pretty ******. As if I wasn't nervous enough already...

I will try to explain the diffenrences on the 2 types, but you might want to check this, because i am not a pro!

the anatomical sphincter is the one that you can controle on your own, like you can actualy moove those muscles as you please, and the phisiologic is the one that your body will open on its own and the stretch receptors on the PHYSIIOLOGICAL sphincter area will let your brain know that you have to go number 2, so then you feel the urge to poop, then if your in a hurry, you compress tight your ANATOMICAL sphincter so you can hold it until you make it to the rest room :eek:

guys I LOVE AP II is so much easier, everything just make so much sence, i'd have to say that it is not even 1/2 as hard as A&P1 i was albe to retain a whole bunch from A&P I, so felt that A&PII is mad-easy!

yesterday we had the endocrine system exam, today we had 5 hours of blood lab, hands, on, finding people blood types, and things like that, and tomorrow we will have a blood quiz, and a sheep's heart dissection,!!! friday we have BRAIN/BLOIOD/HEART lab tests, and monday we will get our CATS!
