Anatomy B/C

No you don't have to! Study for your finals instead!! That's more important! It's fine, I don't need it now!

hi, im new to anatomy and i was wondering if i can have some help. it says on the rule sheet that we have to know muscle function... is that like basic function like moving leg? or something much more in depth? and does anyone have any good website for " physiology of the skeletal muscle contraction system and neauromuscular junction??? i cant find anything really in depth (btw division c). and i tried googling torricellis which is a disease that we are supposed to know... but it does NOT come up on google. and finally, how much do we have to know about each of the diseases? there is an endless amount of information that u can learn about each disease and im not sure how how much you should know. i would really appreciate it if someone helped me

i'm in B div but its pretty much the same
anyways for function its basically how the muscle moves
for diseases try webmd.com or a med textbook
for disease u shud know symptoms, treatments and prevention, cuases, etc
anatomy is really indepth so study alot on each topic
remember, ur allowed a cheat sheet for b div at least, idk about c div

I only need to study for Calculus and AP Government. I can do that during my AP Bio class because my teacher quit and now we have nothing to do for two hours. of the day.

" physiology of the skeletal muscle contraction system and neauromuscular junction??? i cant find anything really in depth (btw division c).

Well, you should get your hands on an Anatomy book. What occurs at the neuromuscular junction actually leads to contraction.

yes, anatomy books do help a lot.

o.o but, uh, isn't calculus and AP Gov. a lot to study for? (unless you're being tested over limits for Cal, those are easy)

[peoneill]

AP Government is easy - unless you have a tough teacher because that can make any course difficult. AP Calculus is a monster, but part of the difficulty is because cramming doesn't help much, you have to keep up. AP bio is a crammer class. I can't believe your course fell apart. Actually I totally can because there's a drastic shortage of science and math teachers.

What's up with polio being in the rules? I wrote A&P for an invite and I couldn't figure out what to ask about polio. Infections/Vaccines? That's not what this event is about. Exposure/progression occurs through the digestive system. Actual cellular effects and direct attacks are against the nervous system. The muscles weaken because the nerves are done for. So... like... what do I ask about muscles? Any question I could ask seems like something that would either be too hard for most medical students to answer (about specific relationships between nerve death and how muscle degeneration occurs) or pitifully easy (like... what happens to the muscles? - answer: they atrophy).

I admit the skeletal and muscular systems are not within one of my specific fields of expertise. Am I missing something about how this works? I already wrote the invite test and I'm not changing it because I likes the way it balances as it stands (right # of questions on the right topics, etc). But I'm curious as to how students are interpreting and preparing for polio to be a topic.

I just had an invite test that had polio (and 5 other diseases) on it. All they did was ask the cause and symptoms of each disease. It was a really easy test though. It had a lot of breadth, but not much depth.

[hutson]

I made my own cheat sheet.
My team didnt place in it.
Was anyone at Northmont Ohio yesterday?

Could anyone explain what they mean by surface anatomy of the bone? Do they mean the actual surface of the bone? Or do they mean how the bone appears from underneath the skin? Also, do they mean the specific surface anatomy of each bone or just a bone in general? Thanks guys!
