1. Anatomy and Physiology B Anatomy and Physiology C

2. Preparing for the event  Read the rules  Study: basic Anatomy/ AP Bio level textbook  internet resources  Make the notesheet  practice

3. B vs C Same name, same rules! Both levels have three systems this year:  Cardiovascular  Integumentary  Immune  B is A & P this year – significance? Student roles:  Two specialists or two generalists?  What is the other one doing on a stations test?

4. Topics  Do not ignore bulleted subtopics!  Left alone, kids will focus almost exclusively on labeling  Diseases are most often overlooked Both levels:  Burns, allergies, infections, skin cancer;  immunodeficiency, autoimmune disorders, hypersensitivities;  arythmias, infarcts, heart failure, atherosclerosis  Note the “i.e.”s – the author probably will!

5. Preparing the notesheet  Preparing students is more important  A good notesheet is necessary for a medal What goes on the notesheet?  Diagrams with labels: system, organs, tissues  Vocabulary – specific and general terms  Disease info  Drug effects  Training handout from soinc.org is awesome

6. Systems  Integumentary seems small, so might be surprising  Good picture on notesheet  High level of detail on training handout – layers, receptors, hair growth  Immune has no obvious diagrams – more room for charts (e.g., immunoglobulins)  Cardiovascular will most likely be at least 1/3, and possibly much more

7. Prepare for contingencies  May be test or stations  Probably color pictures; may be models, especially at State  May (should) be quite long. There is a lot of content  No time to consult notesheet for every question  Bring calculators!  Equations will likely include stroke volume, cardiac output, mean arterial pressure

8. Links  Scioly.org – visit the thread, the wiki and the test exchange  Wikipedia is really good for anatomy, disorders  National Library of Medicine: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ Some sites with interactive tutorials:  http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html http://www.innerbody.com/htm/body.html  http://www.argosymedical.com/index.html1 http://www.argosymedical.com/index.html
