A&P 1: The Spring '05 Anatomy & Physiology Club

Published

Ok, no one has started this yet, so I guess I will. I start A&P I on January 18th, lab and lecture.

Here are a few good websites I have found...some are basic, some may be more indepth than your instructor asks for.....BUT it gives you a little more to look over before class starts next month! :) ....Never forget the website for your actual book too!!!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU

NurseFirst, thanks for your help! :)

You are most welcome. I love A & P, and I figure that A & P is enjoyable for most people after they get to a certain point, where they can kind of see how things fit together, instead of being just a bunch of memorization. Sometimes, however, it can take a bit of studying to get to that point--but if you do, a lot of times it will make the "memorization" part easier, because you can hook things up, like the origin, insertion and action examples I gave. When you study enough you start to have all these cool "aha" experiences...don't give up!

Good luck to you all!!!! :)

Thanks Fun, I am sure I will do better next time.

I found a great website for skeletal system

Enjoy!!!!!

Is anyone else doing or already done the central nervous system/peripheral nervous system yet? It's the last part I have to get down pat before Thursday. I know she tests in questions as in "speeds up heart rate while fleeing attacker " would be CNS to PNS-Motor Division-Autonomic Division-Sympathetic Division..which would be efferent....right? Ack! LOL. Well....I'll be flashcarding my life away for the next 6 days.

I'm feeling pretty good...I have all the organization/histology/integumentary stuff downpat...this is the last hurdle.

No where near the CNS yet .....sorry!!! Good luck!

It was recognizing the microscopic histology. I saw so many of the same structures in each.

I found a site that may be helpful throughout A&P 1 and 2.

1 page, you may want to save on your computer, or print out for future use.

I got my result back for my test, I got 78.3 :uhoh3: I hate grades like that.

Oh, well... At least I see that I can do it :)

Don't stress. It's a passing grade and there will be other tests that you can try again on.

At this point I just tell myself, all that matter is a passing grade so I don't have to pay for or take the class again! lol I *know* I really want an A, but when it comes down to it, passing is nothing to sneeze at!

Okay, on my quizzes I took yesterday the thing I seem to be having a problem with is identifying if the bone being showed is anatomically on the right or left side. Ugh! That is confusing. Anyone have any pointers on how to tell that easier, or is it just a matter of memorizing what each bone looks like from the anterior and posterior views? I hope not. i just can't get it.

I seem to be doing well on the memorizations of bone markings, today I am writing a ton of essays due this week, plus last night I reread chs. 6 and 7 in mariebs book. I love rereading, it really helps me retain the info. Plus studying my atlas, and cramming for my OTHER class I'm in! :rotfl: fun!

I really think you have to memorize them, but also look at the articular notations. Try to visualize exactly why/where and what bone or muscle attatches. That way you can decide how the bone is on the body.

Gooooooooooood luck!!!!

This was driving me crazy till i figured out a method for myself. I agree with Fun2Care. It's easier when you start by understanding some basics about the bone.

What I also did was decide to master one particular view of each bone and all the landmarks that I can see in that view. I chose the anterior view for most of them. So when I saw a bone during the lab exam and i had to figure out what side of the body it belonged to, I would look for those landmarks. For example for the humerus I used the greater and lesser tubercles and the head. If I can see the tubercles then I have the anterior view. Then I look at what side the head is facing and it's easy from there. For the femur I used the patellar surface as my main landmark so that if I can see the patellar surface then i have the anterior view and so I look at what direction the head is facing. And so on for the rest.

Hope this helps. I'm still waiting to find out how I did in my lab exam.

Good luck to you!:)

Ugh Ugh Ugh I am so mad at myself right now I could spit nails! I got my lab test results back and I did a LOT worse than I thought I did...and again for my own stupidity ( doesn't help I was really sick)..I got an 84! Why? Besides the 2 I knew I had wrong...I didn't write out the ENTIRE tissue name on a few ( for ex. I wrote loose areolar connective instead of connective tissue proper, loose areolar) and thing is I KNOW better - I don't even recall not writing it UGH!....UGH and another one I had to write the fuction of the "organelle" well the pointer was on Rough ER so I wrote about rough ER and I didn't write about the ER in general.

Ugh! Poop!

Oh well...not much I can do now...just carry on and know I will do better next time.
