  • Distance Learning Program Anatomy of the Human Brain/Sheep Brain Dissection
    Distance Learning Program Anatomy of the Human Brain/Sheep Brain Dissection This guide is for middle and high school students participating in AIMS Anatomy of the Human Brain and Sheep Brain Dissections. Programs will be presented by an AIMS Anatomy Specialist. In this activity students will become more familiar with the anatomical structures of the human brain by observing, studying, and examining human specimens. The primary focus is on the anatomy, function, and pathology. Those students participating in Sheep Brain Dissections will have the opportunity to dissect and compare anatomical structures. At the end of this document, you will find anatomical diagrams, vocabulary review, and pre/post tests for your students. The following topics will be covered: 1. The neurons and supporting cells of the nervous system 2. Organization of the nervous system (the central and peripheral nervous systems) 4. Protective coverings of the brain 5. Brain Anatomy, including cerebral hemispheres, cerebellum and brain stem 6. Spinal Cord Anatomy 7. Cranial and spinal nerves Objectives: The student will be able to: 1.

  • Anatomy & Physiology
    Texas Education Agency Breakout Instrument Proclamation 2014 Subject Chapter 130. Career and Technical Education Course Title §130.206. Anatomy and Physiology (One Science Credit). TEKS (Knowledge and Skills) Student Expectation Breakout Element Subelement (a) General Requirements. This course is recommended for students in Grades 10-12. Recommended prerequisites: three credits of science. To receive credit in science, students must meet the 40% laboratory and fieldwork requirement identified in §74.3(b)(2)(C) of this title (relating to Description of a Required Secondary Curriculum). (b) Introduction. (1) Anatomy and Physiology. In Anatomy and Physiology, students conduct laboratory and field investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. Students in Anatomy and Physiology study a variety of topics, including the structure and function of the human body and the interaction of body systems for maintaining homeostasis. (2) Nature of science. Science, as defined by the National Academy of Sciences, is the "use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as the knowledge generated through this process." This vast body of changing and increasing knowledge is described by physical, mathematical, and conceptual models. Students should know that some questions are outside the realm of science because they deal with phenomena that are not scientifically testable. (3) Scientific inquiry. Scientific inquiry is the planned and deliberate investigation of the natural world. Scientific methods of investigation are experimental, descriptive, or comparative. The method chosen should be appropriate to the question being asked. (4) Science and social ethics. Scientific decision making is a way of answering questions about the natural world.

  • Plant Anatomy for the Twenty-First Century, Second Edition
    This page intentionally left blank An Introduction to Plant Structure and Development Plant Anatomy for the Twenty-First Century Second Edition This is a plant anatomy textbook unlike any other on the market today. As suggested by the subtitle, it is plant anatomy for the twenty-first cen- tury. Whereas traditional plant anatomy texts include primarily descriptive aspects of structure with some emphasis on patterns of development, this book not only provides a comprehensive coverage of plant structure, but also introduces, in some detail, aspects of the mechanisms of development, especially the genetic and hormonal controls, and the roles of the cytoskele- ton. The evolution of plant structure and the relationship between structure and function are also discussed throughout the book. Consequently, it pro- vides students and, perhaps, some teachers as well, with an introduction to many of the exciting, contemporary areas at the forefront of research, especially those areas concerning development of plant structure. Those who wish to delve more deeply into areas of plant development will find the extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter indispensible. If this book stimulates a few students to become leaders in teaching and research in plant anatomy of the future, the goal of the author will have been accomplished. charles b. beck, Professor Emeritus of Botany at the University of Michi- gan, received his PhD degree from Cornell University where he developed an intense interest in the structure of fossil and living plants under the influence of Professor Harlan Banks and Professor Arthur Eames. Following post-doctoral study with Professor John Walton at Glasgow University in Scotland, he joined the faculty of the University of Michigan.

  • Anatomy Histology Project
    Vista Murrieta High School Anatomy and Physiology G. Nicholas ANATOMY HISTOLOGY PROJECT Histology projects will be arranged as a portfolio including labeled drawings and thorough information regarding the four types of tissues. Much of your information will be gathered through outside sources such as the internet. The project should include the following: a cover page, a table of contents, one page per tissue, and a cited works page. For each tissue, include an actual picture of the tissue (from the internet), a colored and labeled drawing of the tissue, a description of the form and function of each tissue, and the location(s) of the tissue. See example below. Pages should be typed! NOTE: The more professional the final product, the better the grade. The following tissue types need to be included in your portfolio: Epithelial Tissues Example: ( Simple Squamous ( Simple Cuboidal ( Simple Columnar ( Pseudostratified Columnar ( Stratified Cuboidal ( Transitional ( Stratified Squamous Connective Tissues ( Loose Connective ( Adipose ( Dense Connective ( Hyaline Cartilage ( Bone ( Blood Muscular Tissues ( Skeletal ( Smooth ( Cardiac Nervous Tissue ( Brain ( Spinal Cord ( Peripheral Helpful Websites: http://www.siumed.edu/%7Edking2/intro/4basic.htm http://www.kumc.edu/instruction/medicine/anatomy/histoweb/index.htm http://cal.vet.upenn.edu/histo/tissuetypes.html http://www.uoguelph.ca/zoology/devobio/210labs/histo1.html http://www.technion.ac.il/~mdcourse/274203/lectures.htm ---pictures at the bottom of each page. Anatomy & Physiology Group Presentation Project For this project, students will be divided into “organ” groups, and will use Google Presentations to make an online report. Each report will require a title page, at least three different pictures of the respective organ, a list of each tissue found in the organ along with representative pictures, a description of the form and function of each of the tissue types found in the organ, and a video not to exceed five minutes in duration.
