Thats o.k. I just finished making my flashcards. Now I can make a drink and study:beer: I come up with better mnemonics after I have one or two!

[raeliegh22]

Anyone have a mnemonic for calcium homeostasis?

[keyna]

What page are you on, Raeliegh?

[raeliegh22]

From the slides. I may have made this flashcard by mistake though?

[keyna]

I don't remember her dinging calcium homeostasis - I must have missed something?!

[keyna]

Oh, are you talking about hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia?

[red68]

Wholly petina batman!!! Rum....you need to call somebody about that slithering problem you have......

oh and by the way rum.....

"if there's anything else I can do for you, or rather to you, please let me know"

"Can you pound a six inch spike through a board with your p#$%nis?"

"not at the moment"

"girls gotta have her standards"

*******' LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!

One of my alltime favorites!! That and Better Off Dead.

Soooo, are you guys really reading and highlighting, understanding and memorizing the a&p reading? These chapters are worse than the last two!!

[red68]

I read chapter 7 to my husband on the drive to Charlotte. Even he was like "wow"!!!!

So here's what I've got for nuemonics... compliments of my husband. At least they'll be good for a laugh

Functions of Skeletal System-

Supports, Protects, Movement, Store minerals, Blood cell formation (hematopoesis)= "Some People Make Sliced Bread"

Functions of Skeletal Muscle-

Movement, Generate Heat, Posture, Stabilization= My Guy Pees Straight

Skeletal Muscle Structures-

Fascicle, Muscle fibers, Myofibrils, Sarcomeres, Myofilaments= Football Makes My Spouse Manic

Stimulation of Single Skeletal Muscle Cell-

Excitability, Contractility, Extensibility, Elasticity= "Elvis Costello Eats Eggs"

We had alot of fun thinking these up this afternoon! They're helping though so I guess that's the point right? I HATED ch. 7-8!! I was finally like, ok let me just get through this. There are so many terms and I don't remember anything from the first time I studied the nervous system. Hopefully her lecture will help!

Keyna- I also had Calcium Homeostasis highlighted...

Red- there is no way in hades that hubby would have let me read one of our chapters out loud to him! He's have been asleep before I got off the first page.

[keyna]

Good ones, GC! You've been busy today! And I can't believe you read both chapters already! I'm still on 7!

[keyna]

I finally found calcium homeostasis - thanks girls. I had the steps memorized, but not as "homeostasis" I guess.
