A&P Lab Question

Published

Hello everyone. I start A&P on Monday. I have got my lab books, textbooks, and bought the coloring book as well. Today the blackboard has opened and the teacher gave us a few power points with safety instructions and lab instruction. Then the third Power Point was of the ear and eye. and OMG.. lol I am so excited I can hardly breathe. I looked at it and had no idea what I was looking at. I know everyone starts out not knowing these things I would think, but is there any tips on what I should do next. Should I print the power point? Am I supposed to remember every part of the ear and eye? Is that why she sent it to me? It was over whelming to look at. Does it get better? Please give me some positive vibes and tell me is this something I should print and study now! I havent been in school and over 10 years so It was a shocker. tia..

I'm starting A&P on Monday, too.

I wouldn't start studying until after your first class. Is there a syllabus? It might give you a better idea of what you're going to learn first. Based on my book, we're doing basic cell make up and stuff like that initially.

Good luck to us both! :)

My syllabus is just about the objectives and what not. My schedule for the term says that we are studying Road Map of the Body... Yes... Good luck to us both.. God knows I'm going to need it.. :nailbiting:

Print out the syllabus.

My lab went pretty much like this.

First 10 minutes of class was a quiz on material we learned the previous week.

then the next 40 minutes you learn the next chapter. The instructor might go over it with you, or your on your own. (we were in my class)

we didn't dissect anything, but we did do a couple of "experiments." like finding out blood types, listening to heart sounds, or measuring breaths.

the lab portion for the most part is memorization.
