Anatomy B/C

[prelude to death]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that insertion and origin were only tested at the National level...? I thought that all you needed to know for Regionals was the identification of each muscle... (Really sorry if I am wrong... I'm not able to check my rules manual at the moment because I left it at my last Science Olympiad meeting, so don't follow my advice... This is just what I thought.) >.<

Both true, except that on every single test I've ever taken there has been at least one question about the origin/insertion about a specific muscle.

I'd advise you to read 3.a.v. Skeletal muscle actions-origin, insertion, interactions of different muscles

Nope, you need to know it at all levels. I've always been asked that.

interactions of different muscles

Hmm, I've never seen that on a test (that I can remember), but that's good to know. Thanks!

do i need to know that latin roots for the muscles? Division B Actually what do I need to know

no... for muscles you really only need to know origin, insertion, function, and perhaps the interactions of the muscles.

I thought origin, insertion is for nationals for Anatomy B
its says that in the rules

[paleonaps]

They probably are, but depending on the time until Nationals from State you may want to start studying.

alright so there were only 2 muscle changes in the rules from last year... Does anyone happen to know what the were? I would like to keep my cheat sheet very similar to the one i used last year.

[Kokonilly]

The intercostals, buccinator, and diaphragm were added and the temporalis & thoracolumbar facia (that may be a typo) were removed.

How much emphasis is there supposed to be on the endocrine system? At the SE PA Division C regionals, I felt like there was too much emphasis on the endocrine system and diseases, and not enough on the muscular system, which was what I had been mostly preparing for...
