6. We want to help you succeed in this class, and have posted a number of other things online for you to use. (I sent you an with a Powerpoint “tutorial” explaining these)
They are all linked through the course home-page

7. The course homepage provides copies of the Powerpoints used in class.
You should print these out and bring them to class to take notes. No, you can not download them and bring your computer to lecture to take those notes electronically.
Be Careful! Do NOT assume that having these Powerpoints is the same as “taking notes”. Since most of the test questions for this course will be taken from what I say, not what I project on the screen, you will also need to be sure to take good notes of that information as well.

8. The course homepage provides copies of the lab exercises we will use
You should print these out and bring them to lab. They will make reference to specific figures in your Saladin text, so you should also bring that to lab.

9. The course homepage provides a link to a discussion of How to Study Most Effectively for this course.

10. The course homepage provides links to Chapter Reviews These should be used only after you think you have mastered the material. They are designed to help you identify areas in which you are still weak.

11. In my last week I asked you to watch the University of Minnesota video on proper use of the cadaver, and to print out and sign the Cadaver Lab Student Agreement posted on the course homepage.
I also asked you to sign the Lab Safety agreement.
I asked you to purchase a $7.00 Glove Voucher from the WSU bookstore.
If you did not turn those three things to me before this lecture, you may do so at the break ~10:40. (You will lose one point per item per day if I do not have them by noon today)

12. Is anything not clear about the structure of this course, or how to access things through the course homepage?

13. Anatomy and Physiology I – Biology 211 or its equivalent -is a prerequisite for this course.
Since some of you may have just completed that course while others did so a year or more ago, I want to be sure that the transition from that course to this one goes as smoothly as possible.
You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with a number of concepts from A&P I which will be incorporated into A&P II as well, and you should go back and review these as much as necessary to be sure you really understand them.
As noted in the syllabus, there will be an exam on these
at the beginning of tomorrow’s lecture.

14. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
1) Structural Hierarchy

15. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
2) Cellular structure – You should understand the functions
of cellular organelles
You should be particularly familiar with the structure of
the plasma membrane, channels, and how things get
across it into and out of the cell.

16. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
3) Macromolecules:
You should be able to draw the chemical structure of
an amino acid, a monosaccharide and disaccharide,
glycerol, a fatty acid, a phospholipid, and a
nucleic acid.

17. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
3) Macromolecules:
How amino acids proteins
How monosaccharides carbohydrates
How fatty acids & glycerol lipids
How nucleotides nucleic acids

18. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
4) Basic Histology
Cells, fibers, ground substance
Classifications of different types of epithelia, connective
tissues, muscle tissues, and nervous tissue
Cells and fibers of each of these tissues

19. You should be particularly familiar/comfortable with the following concepts from A&P I:
5) Terms of relative position:
Anterior Posterior
Ventral Dorsal
Superior Inferior
Lateral Medial
Superficial Deep
Proximal Distal

20. In addition to those five broad concepts of structural hierarchy, cellular structure, macromolecules, tissues, and terms of relative position; you will need to know some additional specific information you learned in the first Anatomy and Physiology course:
1. How to properly use a compound light microsope.
2. The mechanism of contraction in skeletal muscle
(you will need to know this for cardiac muscle)
3. How an action potential is generated and propagated
(including how a membrane depolarizes and
repolarizes) and what occurs at a chemical synapse
(you will need to know this as we discuss neural control
of different systems)

21. This does not mean that the other topics of the earlier prerequisite course are not important. You should review them all within the next day or two if it has been a while since you took A&P I.
However, you will have particular problems in A&P II
if you do not have a good grasp of these topics.

So: Let’s look at some sample questions on these:

23. Most questions on tomorrow’s exam will be “short answer”
1. In the structural hierarchy, “organelles” are formed by ___
2. Which organelle of a cell translates the genetic code from
a nucleic acid and uses that code to link amino acids
together to form proteins?
3. Glygocen (a polysaccharide) is composed of thousands of
smaller “monomers” called ___
4. If your elbow is “distal” to your shoulder, then your
shoulder is ___ to your elbow.
5. Through a microscope, you observe a tissue consisting
of three layers of cells: the deepest layer is columnar, the
middle layer is also columnar, and the most superficial
layer is cuboidal. What type of epithelium would this be?

24. Some questions will be “single best answer”
1. A “glycolipid” in the plasma membrane consists of ___
bonded onto a phospholipid
a) carbohydrate
b) fatty acids
c) glycerol
d) nucleic acids
e) protein
2. In a loose areolar connective tissue, the most common
type of cell (which also forms its collagen fibers) is
a) adipocytes
b) chondroblasts
c) fibroblasts
d) keratinocytes
e) myocytes

25. You might need to describe something
1. Briefly describe the function of a “ribosome”.
Briefly describe the process of “exocytosis”
Briefly describe the structure of a “thin myofilament” in a skeletal myocyte.

26. You might need to draw something:
1. Draw the chemical structure of a fatty acid with 12
carbons. It can be either saturated or unsaturated.
2. Draw the chemical structure of two amino acids (you
do not need to specify what the “R” groups are). Now
draw those same amino acids after they have been
bonded together through dehydration synthesis.
Draw the structure of a phospholipid. You do not
need to draw out the chemical structure, but you must
clearly indicate where the glycerol, fatty acids, and
polar group are located.

27. We want you to succeed in this course, so please:
1. Attend all lectures and labs, and use open lab times.
2. Come to lectures and labs prepared
a) Complete reading assignments before lectures.
b) Read and understand labs before lab periods.
Pay attention and take good notes in lectures & labs -
What we say as well as what is projected on the board
4. Plan to spend at least 2 or 3 hours per day studying for this
class a) Reviewing notes and textbook
b) Correlating lecture, lab, & textbook information
5. If you don’t understand something, ask.
6. Study each subject until you thoroughly understand it,
not just until you have memorized it.

28. Keys to succeeding in A&P
1. Study in relatively short blocks, min, with breaks between
2. Use different methods of study: reading, writing, discussing, etc.
3. Be sure you understand concepts - don’t just memorize
4. Constantly ask yourself “how does structure relate to function?
5. Go back-and-forth between notes and the textbook
6. You can’t fall behind - even for a day
Repetition, repetition, repetition!
You have studied a subject enough when you can explain it to someone else without using notes.
If you can’t do this, you haven’t studied enough.

29. Any questions, or anything else we need to clear up, before we start talking about the circulatory system?
