For 2011 Lab Sections

Summary of Labs 6-10 to Use in Reviewing
for the 2011 Final Practical

Graduate Teaching Assistant Rachel Hazelwood will proctor open lab for A&P 2011 on Saturday, November 20, 2010, from 9:00 AM - 11:00 PM in C105.  If you go, please thank her for making this time available to you.

There will also be Open Labs during parts of the day in C108, Monday, November 30 through Friday, December 3, 2010.

Unfortunately, none of the graduate assistants can be available to hold open lab before the 2011 lab final this fall. There Will be no Open Lab on the evenings before the final practical.  We're sorry.

Short Practice Practical in PowerPoint for 2011 Final Practical.

Lab 6:

• muscle histology (slides for skeletal, cardiac, isolated smooth muscle cells, and smooth muscle cells in layers)
• identify structures on sarcomere electron micrograph [ultrastructure]
• organization and classification of muscles [muscle classifications:  structural and functional]
• identify the muscles and actions listed on lab guide on models and diagrams
• PhysioEx 16B Skeletal Muscle Physiology:  recognition and understanding of the latent period, treppe phenomenon, multiple motor unit summation/recruitment, and temporal summation (including tetany) on a graph or a plot (computer simulation)

Lab 7:

• EMG Biopac (multiple motor unit summation/recruitment + muscle fatigue)

Lab 8: 

• neuron, pyramidal cell, Purkinje cell, and peripheral nerve slides
• boldfaced structures on brain models
• specified parts in lab manual on sheep brain dissection
• cranial nerves (by name + number) (cranial nerve review)

Lab 9:

• structures on spinal cord slide
• spinal cord model (on nerve tree as well)
• major nerve plexuses on nerve tree (cervical, brachial, lumbar, + sacral)

• somatic, superficial, and autonomic reflexes (stretch reflex, Babinski, pupillary + ciliospinal)
• reaction time Biopac (effect of learning on response time)

Lab 10:

• parts of the eye on a model as indicated in the lab guide
• imajor parts of the eye (+ optic nerve) on a sheep eye dissection  (cow eye is similar)
• tests for visual acuity, near point accommodation, astigmatism, and blind spot
• parts of the ear on a model as indicated in the lab guide
• endocrine glands on models
• structures on retina slide
• structures on pituitary, thyroid/parathyroid, pancreas, adrenal gland, ovary, and testis slides (including names of hormones secreted by these glands)

Models: (structures you are responsible for will be in boldface on the model keys)

• skeletal muscles:  head + neck, torso, upper and lower extremities
• brain
• spinal cord
• nerve tree
• eye
• ear
• endocrine glands on torso models

Slides:

• muscle tissue:  skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, cardiac muscle
• nervous tissue (also pyramidal cells + Purkinje cells)
• peripheral nerve (l.s. and x.s.)
• spinal cord
• retina
• endocrine glands:  pituitary, ovary, testis, adrenal gland, pancreas, thyroid/parathyroid

Dissections:

• sheep brain
• sheep eye (cow eye is similar)

PhysioEx 16B:

• muscle physiology:  twitch, latent period, multiple motor unit summation/recruitment, treppe, wave summation, fused contractions (tetany)

Biopac:

• EMGs (multiple motor unit summation/recruitment, muscle fatigue)
• reaction time (effect of learning)

Miscellaneous:

• sarcomere electron micrographs and diagrams
• muscle connective tissue layers (epimysium, perimysium, endomysium)
• muscle actions and categorization (agonist, antagonist, synergist)
• peripheral nerve connective tissue layers (epineurium, perineurium, endoneurium)
• reflex arc diagrams
• somatic and autonomic reflexes:  stretch tendon reflexes, superficial cord reflexes (Babinski, abdominal), autonomic reflexes (pupillary, accommodation, ciliospinal)
• visual tests:  blind spot, visual acuity, astigmatism, near point accommodation
