2. Anatomy ± Physiology Minnesota Science Olympiad States 2011

3. Plan for today Overview of event format (B & C) scientific content (B & C) Your event coordinator’s perspective (C only) Review of resources Questions

4. Event format (B & C) Written exam, up to 2 students, 50 minutes Optional: non-programmable / non-graphing calculator Optional: One sheet of notes (two sides, any content) May include: Timed stations Written test Powerpoint slides Anatomical specimens etc Scoring by total number of points

5. Content (B & C) Organ systems: B: muscular, respiratory C: muscular, respiratory, endocrine For each organ system: B: basic normal anatomy C: basic normal anatomy & physiology Effects of certain disease states and aging Note especially areas listed specifically in the rules Also certain general scientific skills: Including data collection, making observations, calculations, inferences, predictions, analyses, conclusions

6. Content -- see slides

7. Content (B & C) See slides from national event supervisor Note that I’ve combined two separate slide sets and therefore some slides are marked “C only”

8. Dr Jeff’s perspective (C only) Format Almost all multiple choice / matching / short answer A few more complex (often based on graphs / figures) Points per question varying by difficulty (will be listed on test) Some powerpoint but probably no stations / specimens Content Focus on clinically relevant aspects (and application not memorization) Will try to ask at least a little about each item specified in the rules so no one feels time spent studying that item has been wasted – This includes the scientific skills (data collection, inference, etc) Majority of questions will be general/adult, but definitely will be some pediatrics in areas covered by the rules (especially those where it is educational to contrast adult and pediatric aspects) Plan on a challenge I know how smart Science Olympiad students are (ties!) Only number of points matters, not percent correct
