WEEK 1, JANUARY 19-24 – LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY AND ENDOCRINE ANATOMY
LANGUAGE OF ANATOMY:
Exercise 1 in Marieb Lab Manual: Review understand anatomic terminology. Use your own body and the human torso models to refresh on the basic organization of the body. Know the following terms:
Anatomical Position, Superior, Inferior, Cranial, Caudal, Medial, Lateral, Superficial, Deep, Ventral, Anterior, Dorsal, Posterior, Proximal, Distal, Sagittal plane, Transverse plane, Frontal plane, Thoracic cavity, Abdominal cavity, Pelvic cavity.

ENDOCRINE ANATOMY:
Histology: You are responsible for the being able to identify following endocrine glands from a histology photo on an exam. Observe the microscopic anatomy on the Thyroid gland, Pancreas, Adrenal gland, Ovary, and Testis as described in Exercise 27 – Activity 2 of lab manual as well as Figures 42.2 and 43.6.
Figure 1: Thyroid gland low power and high power. Note the simple cuboidal epithelium (marked 1a) that surrounds the thyroid follicles. The thyroid follicles are labeled 1b and are filled with colloid (labeled 1c) that is the location of T3 and T4.
Figure 2: Pancreas gland showing the exocrine acinar cells labeled 4a and the endocrine islets labeled 4b.
Figure 3: Adrenal gland. Note the layers in the outer adrenal cortex (zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis) and the distinctive inner adrenal medulla.
Figure 4: Ovary. Note the various levels of oocyte development within the follicles.
Figure 5: Testes. This is a cross section of the seminiferous tubules in the testes, which is the site of sperm formation. Note that the more immature spermatogonia and spermatocytes are towards the periphery of the tubules. The more mature cells are towards the center lumen of the tubule. In fact if you look closely, you can see the tails of the sperm in the lumen.
Gross Anatomy: Before you find the structures listed below in Anatomy and Physiology Revealed in Connect, watch the help videos so that you are familiar with APR. Once you click on APR, there is a question mark “need help” tab. Click that and then choose “select help video.” I suggest watching the Program Overview, My Course Content, and Dissection help videos. Here is a video on how to use APR: https://myclasses.tegrity.com/#/recording/83b7d082-414d-4624-aea2-100a525fc872?playbackToken=2PB0NHGHYZZNY
You are responsible for the being able to identify following list of endocrine glands from a cadaver photo or model on an exam. Figure 27.1 in the Marieb lab manual has human endocrine pictures. APR in Connect has a specific list of cadaver photos located in Anatomy & Physiology Revealed, My Course Content, List (Endocrine pkrMv) and Module-Endocrine.
Pineal gland, Hypothalamus, Pituitary gland, Thymus, Thyroid gland, Adrenal gland, Pancreas, Parathyroid glands, Gonads (Ovaries and Testes).
Note: There is nothing to hand in or submit when you do the Endocrine lab. In fact, this is the case for many of the labs. The only lab items that will contribute to your grade are the 3 lab exams and the virtual labs that you begin next week.
WEEK 2, JANUARY 25-31 – BLOOD **NOTE LAB ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE THIS WEEK**
Exercise 29 in Marieb Lab Manual: Blood
You have 4 Virtual Labs to do on Connect plus some cell identification described below. The 4 virtual labs are due by January 31 at 11:59 pm. The labs include 1. Virtual Lab Tutorial, 2. Hematocrit Test, 3. Hemoglobin Test, and 4. Blood Typing Test. Each of these labs is worth 10 points for a total of 40 points. You have unlimited chances to do the virtual labs and you receive 100% for completion. However, they must be complete by the due date of January 31 at 11:59 pm. My view of your grades will only show your highest grade received for the virtual labs. Additionally, there will be exam questions from these exercises. Here are some study notes from the Virtual Labs to help you prepare for Lab Exam One: Virtual Lab Blood
In addition to the 4 virtual labs, you should be able to identify all formed elements found in human blood. You must be able to identify erythrocytes, thrombocytes, and each of the granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) and each of the agranulocytes (lymphocytes and monocytes). Note: All granulocytes and agranulocytes are types of leukocytes. You can observe all of these in your Marieb lab manual or at APR in Connect. Go to My Course Content, List (Blood e89Jx), Module-Cardiovascular and click on the My Histology link. You may need to turn off the tags and highlighting.
Key to photos: Top left shows erythrocytes (33) and the small dots are thrombocytes, the large cells are neutrophils (34). Top right shows numerous erythrocytes, thrombocytes are the small dots, and the large cell is an eosinophil (35). Middle left shows erythrocytes (33), a couple of thrombocytes, a lymphocyte (38) and a monocyte (37). Middle right shows numerous erythryocytes (33), thrombocytes are the small purple dots, two lymphocytes (38), and two neutrophils (34). Bottom shows erythrocytes and one basophil (36).
