Understanding the nervous system

Answer the following questions to the best of your ability. Remember that this is a resource for you to study as much or more than it is an assignment to turn in for points.

Assignments will be graded on completion.

  1. Draw a flow chart of the parts of the CNS and PNS, and how they are related.
  2. List the types of glial cells and their functions (4 types).
  3. Draw a approximation of the brain and include these structures: cerebral cortex, basal nuclei, thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and brain stem (label the three parts).
  1. Give a brief description of the function of each of the areas drawn above.
  2. cerebral cortex
  3. basal nuclei
  4. thalamus
  5. hypothalamus
  6. cerebellum

 

  1. brain stem
  2. Midbrain
  3. Pons
  4. Medulla
  5. Draw the cortical pathway for speaking and label the areas of the brain that are being used: (check pg 151 in the book for guidance)

Labeling Assignment

Provide some pictures of someone (a celebrity, body builder, a friend, family member, etc.) that you have labeled in a way that accurately and effectively describes all of the structures listed below. Use fully clothed pictures and keep this assignment scientifically clean! Identifying all of these structures can potentially create a very cluttered and confusing picture, so keep each picture neat and as understandable as possible. Use as many pictures as you need.

Identify the following muscles of facial expression and mastication:
occipitofrontalis
corrugators supercilii
orbicularis oculi
zygomaticus major
orbicularis oris
buccinators
depressor anguli oris
masseter
temporalis

Identify the following structures associated with the neck and trunk:
hyoid bone
larynx
sternocleidomastoid
sternum (Label the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process!)
clavicle
trapezius muscle
pectoralis major muscle
latissimus dorsi muscle
rectus abdominis
linea alba

Identify the following structures of the upper limb:
humerus
radius
ulna
carpal bones
metacarpal bones
deltoid muscle
biceps brachii
triceps brachii

Identify the following structures of the lower limb:
femur
patella
tibia
fibula
tarsal bones
metatarsal bones
quadriceps femoris muscles (Label each muscle individually!)
hamstring muscles (Label each muscle individually!)
gastrocnemius muscle
tibialis anterior muscle
sartorius muscle

Briefly explain the anatomical and physiological concepts in the laboratory activity. Provide background information to give the reader a basic understanding of the subject matter. Give an overview of the purpose of the activity. Describe the procedure in paragraph form. Your description should give enough information so the one unfamiliar with the activity could understand what was performed and whether it was performed properly.

Endocrine System Lab Report

For this assignment you will complete a lab experiment on Physio Ex. After completing the experiment, you will write a lab report that consists of:

  1. Title page: Includes an informative title, class and section name, instructor name and date of  submission  ( 5 pts)

 

  1. Introduction: Briefly explain the anatomical and physiological concepts in the laboratory activity. Provide background information to give the reader a basic understanding of the subject matter. Give an overview of the purpose of the activity. ( 20 pts)

 

  1. Material and Methods: Describe the procedure in paragraph form. Your description should give enough information so the one unfamiliar with the activity could understand what was performed and whether it was performed properly. ( 20 pts)

 

  1. Results: Present your data in table or figure form ( not both) with an appropriate title. The tables/ figures should be self explanatory and include proper legends, labels and units. DO NOT cut and paste the raw data you obtained in the experiment. Your results should be presented on your own table/ figue/ graph.  Summarize the data and note the trends. Do NOT interpret the data. Explain what can be directly observed from the data.  (20 pts)

 

  1. Discussion: Give a detailed explanation/ interpretation of the results and their significance. Refer to the tables/ figures in the results section. Relate the results to the principles of anatomy and physiology.  ( 25 pts)

 

  1. Literature cited: References cited are complete and consistent in format. Cited references are listed in alphabetical order.  ( 10 pts)

All lab reports should be uploaded using the TurnItIn Tool.

How do you think these individuals cope with such injuries? How can we decrease the number of these types of injuries. Considering structure and function, has modern activity “outdistanced” the structural protection for our nervous system that was provided by nature? Hear of “Murderball”?

When the Spinal Cord is Injured Discussion

When the spinal cord is injured some bodily functions such as breathing and toilet control may be impaired. Many of these injuries occur as a result of “high risk” behaviors. How do you think these individuals cope with such injuries? How can we decrease the number of these types of injuries. Considering structure and function, has modern activity “outdistanced” the structural protection for our nervous system that was provided by nature? Hear of “Murderball”?
