Click on the Pseudostratified jpeg to get connected to a great resource with a ton of histology pictures. After you click on the jpeg, then click on Large Images to go to the tissue slides resource.
Ask the following questions to see how each tissue slide fits into our chapter:
1. Is it Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, or Nervous tissue?
2. If it is Epithelial, is it simple or stratified? Is it columnar, squamous, cubodial, transitional or pseudostratified?
3. If it is Connective Tissue, is it Connective Tissue Proper (loose, adipose, reticular, dense or elastic) or is it specialized connective tissue (cartilage, bone, and blood)?
4. What are some distinguishing characteristics that will help you identify different tissue types?
More to come...

Michael Phelps and Cellular Respiration
As we were discussing cellular respiration and oxygen debt... I started thinking about athletes like Michael Phelps. This prompted Computer Lab #2...
How is cellular respiration different in bodies of great athletes like Michael Phelps? How does he do so well in sprint mode and in long distance mode? Does he get sore muscles after a competition? You can click on his pictures to go to a link with info on his workouts and the workouts of other famous athletes.
I've included some web links on the right (under the list for Chapter 4) that I found using Google. What questions can you think of related to athletics, work-outs, and cellular respiration?
Blessings to you,
Mrs. Jorgenson

Computer Lab #1 Tips
Hi A&P Students!
I hope you find computer lab #1 helpful.
The two links are on the right hand side of this page:
* Metabolic Pathways (mostly a review of what we've already done with questions on Catabolism and Anabolism)
* Metabolic Process
For the Metabolic Process website, you'll put your cursor over each organ to read about the types of catabolism and anabolism found in each organ. Then you'll take a quiz to see what you remember about each organ. I recommend that you take notes on the quiz because I will take some of those questions and put them on your next homework quiz.
For example, your notes may look something like this:
Pancreas: the site for monitoring and regulating the overall metabolic state of the body
Liver: the organ that is the predominant storage depot for glycogen, and is responsible for maintaining normal blood glucose levels.
Hope you have a great weekend and let me know if you have any questions.

Chapter 3 Test Results
Anatomy Class,
Great job overall on your Chapter 3 Test. The class average was an 84%. If you won the team game you got an extra +5 on your test. The runner up team got an extra +2 since they only missed by 1 question.
Grade spread (only for A's, B's and C's):
A's: 5
B's: 4
C's: 3
Keep up the good work!
