A&P 1 Spring 08

okay well, i'm studying two hrs per day...no lie...and i still feel lost...can anyone PLEASE explain the Krebs Cycle simply? my teacher gave a handout, and told us to look it up to learn it...honestly!!!

I know you've already gotten some great info on the Kreb's Cycle/Citric Acid Cycle, but I wanted to see if I could help a bit more. NAD+ (which I assume is the same thing as NADP - maybe the "p" stands for "positive"?) is a b-vitamin that carries away the hydrogens and their bonding electrons which are stripped away from the glucose during glycolysis.

In the Kreb's Cycle, the glucose degredation/breakdown is completed. The remaining hydrogens are stripped away and loaded onto those carriers, and the carbons are stripped off the 2 carbon chain acetic acids. This happens twice and produces an ATP each time (+2 ATPs).

The majority of the ATP is produced in the Electron Transport Chain/Respiratory Chain when the hydrogens & their bonding electrons are cashed in for ATPs (+34 ATPs). Hope this helps a bit!

I usually make flash cards, if i write it down and take them with me, I can pick them up and read them. I usually memorize 4 or 5 at a time

Make notecards and take them with you everywhere! Study in traffic, waiting at the dr. office, everywhere. Also getting a study buddy really helps, even if it's not someone who is taking A&P. I made my hubby ask me questions from my flashcards, diagrams, etc. and that really helped as well. Also maybe try to join a Summer A&P I study group on AllNurses! Good luck!!!

That reminds me I need to buy index cards. I just used my last one this morning. I use them to draw the structure of different molecules (ATP). I have a hard time differentiating between them otherwise.

Yeah... I do use notecards but it still seems to slip past me... Is there any other study tip??

Does anyone know how to join a study group in A&P on this website??

I have a study tip that I never use myself. Study everyday! I have a really bad problem with procrastination. I mean to study everyday, but I always end up cramming for tests and doing labs at the last minute.

This thread is an A&P study group. There is also threads for people taking A&P in the summer.

Well then, my next question is....does anyone know a trick for remembering the 12 cranial nerves and how to remember the membrane potentials

There is a trick for remembering the 12 cranial nerves in the mnemonics thread. https://allnurses.com/forums/f198/mnemonics-294793.html

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.
