Muscles!

We are now moving on to muscles: what are the different types of muscles; what are the functions of muscles; what are the names of different muscles; how do muscles contract? These are just some of the questions we will tackle in this unit. As usual, we will be having quizzes along the way to help you memorize the different skeletal muscles and their movements. By the end of this unit we should have a greater appreciation for all those sore muscles from weight training or basketball/wrestiling practice and even be able to name them!

Skeletal System Test Coming Up Soon!!

Thursday November 19th will be the Skeletal System test!! You will need to review the following:
 Axial & Appendicular Skeleton
 Names of the bones & landmarks (label & coloring papers—anything labeled is fair game!)
 Function of bones

 Long bone anatomy
 Microscopic anatomy
 Types of bone cells
 Types of fractures
 Types of Joints
Fibrous—know examples
Cartilaginous – know examples
Synovial – know examples

Use the website www.anatomyandphysiology.com to help you review. This is Chapter 5!!

Remember there will be a review session Wednesday November 18th in the anatomy room from 6:00-7:30. You will be able to use all the models/skeletons to review and I will be there to answer any questions. Highly recommended and I will bribe you with some rice krispie cookies!!
