Anatomy and Physiology B/C

Is the question difficulty of MIT invitationals and a normal regionals the same? or is MIT invitationals harder?

For at least most events, the tests at MIT would be significantly harder than most any tournament in the country, with exceptions, of course. Your average regional will most likely not have the level of difficulty of MIT tests.

Would you guys say that 2016 anatomy test packets be useful for this year?

probably would cause the rules haven't changed much for theses systems

Will we need to know how to distinguish different types of skin cancers by their histology.

How many people can participate in this event?

You can have one other partner

Or by yourself, which is terrifying haha. It´s a long test

I wouldn't say it's out of the realm of possibility. Knowing the differences between the main 3 should be fine.

In the rules C.v. says: "Skeletal muscle actions – origin, insertion, interactions of different muscles"

Does this mean that we should know what origins and insertion mean, or is it asking us to study all the muscles and their insertion and origins (but dont we have a muscle list?).

Could someone pls explain what rule C. v. means? and what we should study to satisfy that rule?
Also, are you guys studying the cellular structure for ALL the muscle types or are you studying for ONLY skeletal muscles?

When I did this topic in 2016, I had all the origin and insertion points on my notesheet.

I would be sure to have both- what origins, insertions, synergists, etc. are and origins, insertions, etc. of specific muscles. As for interactions, I have seen tests ask about interactions of muscles as antagonist/prime mover pairs. I have also seen questions regarding what muscles insert/originate from specific bone markings.

Know cellular structures/differences for all 3 muscle types!
Intercalated discs, dense bodies and pacemaker cells are a good headstart for smooth and cardiac muscle cell types.

Thank you Unome and Nonkeratinized Squamous Epithelium

I haven't seen any neuromuscular junction questions so far... Has anyone else seen them?
