FLEX Seminar and Seminar Expectations Live Seminar: you have the opportunity to attend one of four live seminars each week or Seminar Option Two: please see the syllabus and course announcements for the length and requirements of this mini-paper, submitted no later than Tuesday, each week or If you received 92% or higher on your Pre-Quiz in a given week, you do not need to complete the Live Seminar Option or Seminar Option Two– you will receive full credit for the Seminar that week Feel free to attend any or all of the weekly seminars– you’ll receive credit for one…. And you’ll learn from all of them!

Quizzes—Pre and Post Each unit has a Pre-quiz and Post-quiz –Pre-quiz is to identify if you already know the unit material –Get at least a 92% (37/40) and you don’t have to do the seminar and Post-quiz –Pre-quiz must be completed by Thursday midnight ET Post-quiz must be completed before the unit closes on Tuesday night The Post quiz can only be entered once, and is a timed, 30 minute quiz.

Unit Assignments Most Units have a written assignment The Assignment instruction pages contain all the information you need 500 words (1-2 pages) plus a cover page and references Written in academic English with APA references - and we’ll avoid Wikipedia!!!!
11
Final Project: Due in Unit 9 Part One:The function of one of the 6 organ systems and the functional relationship between it and other body systems. Part Two: An overview of the 6 organ systems and their component parts (Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Senses, & Endocrine) Part Three: An explanation of the concept of homeostasis and how two of the organ systems work together to maintain homeostasis. Please feel free to read ahead to Unit 5 for Final Project instructions And we’ll remember: no Wikipedia!
12
Late Work Kaplan’s new policy: NO LATE WORK Extenuating Circumstances: Contact Instructor Immediately via email Granting of late work is at the discretion of the instructor. Requires Documentation for Verification submitted via scanned email within 48 hours

17
HS 120 : Units Unit 1: Human Anatomy and Physiology Unit 2: Chemistry of Life Unit 3: Cells and Tissues Unit 4: Integumentary System Unit 5: Intro to Final Project & Midterm Exam Unit 6: Muscular System Unit 7: Nervous System Unit 8: Senses Unit 9: Endocrine System Unit 10: Comprehensive Exam-100 Questions
18
Structural levels of organization Organization is an outstanding characteristic of body structure The body is a unit constructed of the following smaller units: –Cells—the smallest structural units; organizations of various chemicals –Tissues—organizations of similar cells –Organs—organizations of different kinds of tissues –Systems—organizations of many different kinds of organs
21
Anatomical Position Standing erect with the feet slightly apart and arms at the sides with palms turned forward
22
Anatomical Directions Superior—toward the head, upper, above Inferior—toward the feet, lower, below superior inferior
23
Directions Superior “above” along the vertical axis of the body in anatomical position like someone who is “superior” Cephalad or Cranial towards the head Inferior “below” along the vertical axis of the body in anatomical position like someone who feels less than or “inferior” Caudal towards the tail
24
Practice
25
Anatomical Directions Anterior Towards the front of the body Ventral “venter” = Latin for belly Anterior and Ventral mean towards the belly or front of the body Posterior Towards the back of the body Dorsal “dorsum” = Latin for back Posterior and Dorsal mean towards the back of the body
26
Practice 1) The spine is to the heart –find the indicator structure (starting point) Heart (follows “to”, starting point)
27
Anatomical directions Medial—toward the midline of a structure Lateral—away from the midline or toward the side of a structure
28
Anatomical directions Medial—toward the midline of a structure Lateral—away from the midline or toward the side of a structure Med. Lat
29
Anatomical directions There are special terms used especially for the limbs Proximal –toward or closest the point of attachment or trunk –“close proximity” Distal –away from the point of attachment or trunk –“distance” distal proximal
30
Planes 1.Sagittal (R & L) 2.Midsagittal (two equal halves) 3.Frontal (ant. & post.) 4.Transverse (upper and lower)
31
Body cavitites Ventral cavity –Thoracic cavity Mediastinum—midportion of thoracic cavity; heart and trachea located in mediastinum Pleural cavities—right lung located in right pleural cavity, left lung in left pleural cavity
32
Body cavities Ventral cavity –Abdominopelvic cavity Abdominal cavity contains stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen Pelvic cavity contains reproductive organs, urinary bladder, and lowest part of intestine
33
Body cavities Dorsal cavity –Cranial cavity contains brain –Spinal cavity contains spinal cord *****All cavities shown on page 8 of text***

36
Homeostasis All organs function to maintain homeostasis Body functions are related to age; peak efficiency is during young adulthood, diminishing efficiency occurs after young adulthood
