Computerized Grading Of Anatomy Laboratory Practical Examinations
Be able to identify the difference between a male and female pelvis. Pay attention to the shape and parts of each vertebra. Shape reveals where in the vertebral column each is found. Where in the vertebral column would the two below be found? What is there about a vertebra that tells you its location? What special function does each type support? So, get a list from your instructor of which you need to know. The list of muscles used in most anatomy courses usually includes the larger and easier to find muscles rather than the small deep muscles.- Focus your study on the origin and insertion of the largest muscles on the list. Also notice that muscles are named for the bones to which they are connected, and for the movements they create. Actually, by the time you finish your anatomy course, you will recognize that sectors of the body are named in sets. The names of the muscles follow the names of the bones as do the blood vessels and nerves. Step 4: Look for patterns in the tissue under the microscope For many this is the hardest part of anatomy lab. Getting a tissue section into focus under the microscope is a challenge. Then it is hard to recognize parts of the tissue without help from someone who already knows them. Do not feel bad that you cannot immediately see what you think must be there. Tissue slide on microscope stage. Now there is a pathologist, Dr. John Minarcik, who has placed a wonderful series of videos on YouTube to help us all understand tissue sections learned in anatomy lab.
- They are short and you will be surprised by how much they help. Step 5: Cadaver dissection — proceed cautiously If you are to do cadaver dissection or animal dissection with your own hands, treat the body of your cadaver with respect. This was once a living creature who will now share with you the beauty of how its body is organized. Muscles will probably be dissected first, and they are held together by tough tissue named fascia. It is better to pull apart the connective tissues around muscles than to cut at random with a knife or scissors. Cadaver muscles are never as distinct as shown in plastic laboratory models or in the pictures of your book. In fact actual muscles tend to be finer and flatter. They will separate cleaner and tear less if you tease them apart with your fingers. If you become careless with the scissors blood vessels and nerves may no longer be there when you need to find them.
- Nerves will appear to be white strings in the tissue, like those in the forces in the image. Blood vessels and nerves run together in vascular bundles. Look for the blood vessels in the image. Most Important! Discover the part of the information that your instructor hopes you will learn by asking questions. Even medical specialists do not know every part of the human body in precise detail.
- A medical doctor who is an expert at hip joint surgery will spend little if any time studying the latest techniques for heart surgery. Once you become aware of the specific anatomy you need to study, try to prepare some questions about it yourself. How would you select the most important items for testing? I hope these suggestions help you get past the nervousness that the anatomy practical causes. You may also find information on the following posts and pages helpful.
- In spite of his disdain for such thinking, he was suddenly struck with a mortal fear that he had never before experienced. For the entire mission he flew with a sense of dread. The windows were tinted to nearly the same shade. There, he got out and, after screwing a silencer onto the end of his gun with shaking hands, he fired two rounds into the dirt of a nearby ditch. He had come home from the army and married Mary, the girlfriend he had met in college. They had bought this house in Woodland Hills that she had spotted as a bargain as soon as it had come on the market. Nick had been so happy with his wife and family that he had married again right away. He was used to getting up early and lifting weights, and then going out for a run before the weather got too hot. She sold pharmaceuticals for a big drug company and had a route that took her from city to city over much of Arizona, New Mexico, a sliver of California, and Nevada, excluding Las Vegas.
- She was a lot like Mary, he thought. She found Carey sitting on the couch looking at a magazine. He tossed it onto the coffee table. Now he felt reluctant to let this stranger see that he was annoyed at himself for forgetting to tell Jane about her. He had his hips just over the edge of the window when the truck suddenly stopped. He lay still, listening to sounds from outside. Then he widened his search for three blocks in every direction to find a small truck or a van that could contain surveillance equipment. All along his route he looked at the windows of buildings that had an unobstructed view of the Kramer house. And it was very clear to Christine that Ruby and Andy were absolutely fixated on her baby. Ruby had said a dozen times that they were placing all kinds of hopes on this tiny unborn child. The day Christine had learned she was pregnant she had been afraid that Richard would see the baby as leverage, a hostage to force Christine to stay with him.
- It was the same kind of jump that she had just made. She walked toward it, then changed her mind. She had no time to count the steps. She sensed the place where she should begin, fixed her eyes on the gap between the buildings, and leaned forward. Andy was lying faceup on the big leather couch with his hands at his sides. Gravity tightened his skin against the facial bones, and that gave his nose and cheeks that fragile birdlike appearance that dead men had at their wakes. An attacking enemy fighter had put holes in their right wing tank, which was trailing a mist of leaking fuel. With a slim chance of making it home, the crew faced a fateful decision. It would be so much easier if he were to make the first move. I have six people watching me at all times, even though they have no clue why. Only one man in the whole nation has clearance. He used the monocular to check the area, found it clear, and jogged with Woof down to the dry creek bed, where his second entrance was hidden behind the exposed root system of a large fir tree hugging the bank.
- He pulled on a fake root and tugged open the door, then called Woof to the small opening, patted his head, and took the rope off his snout. The dog sniffed at the hole, then happily climbed in. The Seneca had carved to free the Face from the trunk of a living basswood tree, given it presents of tobacco, rubbed it with sunflower oil, and fed it the same mixture of corn-meal and maple sugar that the warriors ate on the trail to battle. It gleamed with power strong enough to cure disease and change the weather, but on this man that power became the force of evil and witchcraft and death. I made another swipe with my loose hand, and this time my fingers held and the helicopter lifted me into the air. His arms closed around my legs, binding, holding tight.
- In all of these years in America, he had learned plenty of management secrets. One of them was showing up and displaying interest. All most employees needed to know was that the boss was paying attention. When they had finished the child stood a moment looking at the pictures. Slowly she passed her fingertips over them as though seeking comfort from the cold marble, then leaned forward and kissed them, first her father, then her stepmother. Julia bent her head, unable to watch. But in the next moment she looked up again, unable not to watch. Whatever she was feeling was being kept bolted down and hidden from the world. But no child should feel like that, or have such a look of frozen misery.
- After a few preliminary faxes and calls to the home office, he was given the usual forms to sign off on, and then a check for the twelve million. I assume there was something wrong with Alan Werfel. The agent who handled the Werfel thing was the assistant manager of the Pasadena office, a young lady named Ellen Snyder. You are helping me analyze the problem. Timothy was forced to walk the horses the last many yards. His inn was empty this time of year, and he was not likely to turn away such rich travellers as a marquess and his cousin. If he wondered why the marquess had stopped at his house instead of at The George, which enjoyed almost all the aristocratic custom coming this way, he did not comment.
- He bustled about with the baggage, enquiring which rooms their bags should be carried to. The heads and chests of both men had been hastily wrapped in blood-soaked bandages, and with pale faces, they seemed to be not long for this world. I found them lying in their blood up on the high road above Hohenfurch. Damned robbers, may the devil take them all. He glanced again at the two pale, groaning wagon drivers, the blood-drenched straw, and the filthy bandages, and cursed himself for having given away the whole bottle of poppy seed extract a while ago. This was another case where probably only the dear Lord could do anything to help them. Their fur caps sat askew atop bald heads, and their faces were red with excitement.
- Outside that room itself, two Inspectorate guards had tipped a couple of steel desks onto their sides and were crouching behind them for protection. Saul gave instructions to the readergun in the ceiling immediately above them, and two short bursts of fire wrote them out of the equation. Sara again thought of her honeymoon with Martin. How, once they got their sea legs, they spent all of their time on the ship, in their tiny little cabin, skipping exotic ports to instead order room service and make love. After a rough beginning, it turned out to be a perfect trip. But there are always night sounds. How intensely blue his eyes were, she thought, and how naturally they crinkled at the corners when he smiled. A practised seducer would know better than to seem impressed. I would like you to love it too. The window was old-fashioned and pretty, vaguely French, consisting of two small doors with panes of glass that opened inward.
- The steel burglar-proofing bars on the outside were nicely spaced so they matched the laths between panes. What you remember you forgive and forget. Once a man had been in prison, his mind became receptive to small improvements in his physical well-being, but he could recognize the emptiness of status and the illusory nature of security. In fifteen minutes, he was south of town heading out Route 15 in the stream of cars that ran toward Los Angeles. He took the exit to Route 95 and headed due south through the desert. Was that the real reason why Max wanted her. Not for her talent, but to please her parents. Have you got a really warm coat. I was always one for racketing around. What a strong, solid, upright character who never cut corners or skirted around the truth in his life.
- When there was total honesty between them, the way would be clear for whatever lay in the future. Stopping the flight, with its implication of bombs and airplane crashes, would attract attention from panicky passengers. It might even draw some of the watchers, if only because watching airports was dull work. The airport security people would certainly open the two big duffel bags and find nothing but envelopes inside. Especially when the killer was a psychotic white man who ate brains. Shit, I ran that school and had kicked more ass than any ten kids and here she was telling me to run. Steven Hammer Spring It just could be that when they did, the guys they had come to trust, the middle-aged, reliable ones who had worked for them for a dozen years, and before that had been part of the old Castiglione organization, would put the shotgun to the backs of their heads. He waited impatiently while Pompi extracted the folded map from its envelope and laboriously unfolded it.
- His brother Joe took the other end of it, and they held it like a blanket and set it on the floor. The country looked like the body of a dead hippopotamus, lying there on its side with blood-red dots all over it. The spatters of red that had been concentrated on both coasts now overlapped into huge streams that ran down from Canada to Mexico in the west, and from New England to Florida in the east. That must have been one hell of a dream you had last night. You said you had a dream about that guy who just moved in across the street killing both of us. He must have really creeped me out the other day.
- It was seven thirty in the morning. The local capo got a cut of everything that went on, and this covered the aggravation, bad publicity and protection if it was necessary. Then he excused himself, stood up from the table and got on his plane.
- Lab practical exam One segment of anatomy lab practical exams that frustrates most students, and many instructors as well, is recognizing types of animal tissues under the microscope. For many students it is their first time using a microscope. Then once you can see it, you may still be at a loss about what features are important. To do well on this lab practical exam it is good to know ahead of time what you are looking for on a slide when you focus the microscope.
- For simplicity anatomists divide animal tissues into four types, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue, and epithelial tissue based upon their structural features. At the magnification possible with a standard lab light microscope, usually there is more than one type of tissue in the visual field. How to identify human tissues There are things to look for when deciding how to identify human tissues. In the body the tissue types and sub types are mixed to support function. In this picture of a vascular bundle, there is muscle tissue of an artery, fat that is a type of connective tissue, bundles of neuron axons that are nervous tissue and epithelial tissue lining the cavity of the artery and vein.
- As you later study the pathway of arteries, veins and nerves through the body keep this tissue structure in mind. Tissue sub-types are identified by their shape and the ability of the cells to take up various dyes. What is seen in the microscope is one of the many possible combinations of the sub-types. During a lab practical exam, it is required that you distinguish which organ an arrangement of the tissue types represents. To do this, you must look for clues about the identity of the organ by observing the sub-types of animal tissues included.
- The image below is in the banner at the top of this page. If you look closely you will see tube shaped cells with stripes and a dark blue branch like structure overlaying the striped tubes. There are two types of tissue here. One is probably familiar to you as skeletal muscle. Notice how the motor neuron branches at its end to control individual muscle cells. The stripes on the cells are hallmarks of muscle tissue. The shape of the striped cells identifies it as skeletal muscle. The string like branching of the motor neuron is typical of nerves. When dissecting fresh tissues, the nerves will look like white string. They are dark in this photomicrograph because of the dye needed to see them in a tissue section.
- It is a cross section of a trachea that includes connective tissue, cartilage, and epithelial cilia covering the organs air surface. Beneath the cilia and above the cartilage are glands that are also composed of epithelial cells. The cartilage holds the trachea open so that air can flow to the lungs. The glands are there to secrete mucus to trap unwanted particles in the air before they get to the lungs. The cilia motion drives the mucus toward the mouth to expel it from the body. Overtime you will come to recognize the patterns of cells you observe with the light microscope. When you are just beginning list what types of tissue layers you observe and then think about how those tissue may help a body organ achieve a function.
- John Minarcik. Even though I have used a microscope in my scientific studies for decades, when I am in doubt about a human tissue, I go ask a pathologist for help. Watch this video by Dr. Minarcik then look again at the photomicrograph or the cross section of the trachea. For more videos by Dr. A very nice feature of this series of YouTube videos is that you can view them enough times that the images become familiar to you.
- Familiar images are memorable images. Also, the various parts of each image will make greater sense to you. It is much easier to remember an image when there is logic to the detail. With this kind of help, tissue anatomy lab exam may convert to be your easiest lab practical exam. Further reading Human Tissue Histology Do you have questions?

- In Elementary Biology, you learn that structure, even at the level of molecular biology, is directly tied to function. Anatomy and Physiology classes apply this rule in much greater detail. You gain in-depth knowledge of structures in the Anatomy sections of the course, and you are introduced to the specific implications of these structures in the Physiology section. Instruction in Anatomy often begins by discussing bodily structures including muscles, bones, organs, connective tissues, nerves, and vasculature. You learn the mechanics of these structures, implementing some biophysics material into your understanding of biological structures. It becomes important to understand the mechanical properties of various tissues during the physiological analysis, including force-tension analyses, bone structures, bioelectrical conduction, and other characteristics of muscle, bone, and nerves.
- In Anatomy, you also need to learn the names and positions of numerous structures, which requires a great deal of memorization. You become familiar with the actions, origins, and insertions of muscles, as well as the various protrusions and contours of the bones. Neuroanatomy is often a point of focus, requiring you to learn both the topical anatomy of the brain and the sub-cortical structures. Neural and muscular anatomy generally compose the majority of Anatomy course content. Anatomy is essentially the foundation from which you can build an understanding of Physiology. Once you are familiar with the orientation of various structures and their integration with one another, you can begin to apply functional significance to these relationships.
- Physiology focuses on the causes and effects of various bodily functions. Physiological content will often parallel the depth to which anatomical content was previously covered. For example, since Anatomy frequently focuses on nerves and muscles, Physiology often pays particular attention to these groups. In Physiology, you learn in-depth mechanisms of action potential propagation and neural regulation, muscle contraction theories and neuromuscular junction mechanics, and the causes of numerous disorders that are linked to the functions of these regions.
- Most Physiology courses also focus on endocrine mechanisms, since these actions largely affect the function of the rest of the body. Physiology content can vary from the large-scale functions of the body e. It is impossible to cover all physiological mechanisms in a single course, but even introductory Physiology courses address numerous mechanisms that affect different levels of function. Testing and exams in Anatomy and Physiology can include both written exams and laboratory practicals. For written exams, questions are often linked to labeling anatomical diagrams, though exam format can vary greatly by course.
- Many courses will teach the symptoms or signs of diseases, disorders, or injuries associated with class topics. Be prepared to provide diagnoses of hypothetical conditions or scenarios that may be offered on exams. Laboratory practicals are based on physical models, often dissected organisms. Questions in the practical are often linked to Anatomy, but can also easily cover the function of a pinned organ or the relationship it shares with other structures in the body. Each Practice Test consists of ten to twelve Human Anatomy and Physiology questions; you can think of each one as being a little quiz you can use to hone your skills. Each question includes a detailed explanation, so if you miss one, you can figure out where you went wrong. Upon completing a Practice Test, you also receive detailed statistics that allow you to see how well you did in comparison to other test-takers, as well as how long you took to answer each problem.

Take one of our many Human Anatomy and Physiology practice tests for a run-through of commonly asked questions. You will receive incredibly detailed scoring results at the end of your Human Anatomy and Physiology practice test to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses. Pick one of our Human Anatomy and Physiology practice tests now and begin!- Many of us seem to use a good mixture of formats during any one lab session: brief preparatory guidance, hands-on assistance as the students are working, and giving them a chance to figure it out on their own with a small team of classmates. I agree with others who point out that, regardless of student complaints, it's all teaching. Teaching lab is one of the best parts of the course. And, if I may offer an encouraging word, it's a skill that can be learned. I've tried, and still try, various tricks to promote Socratic give-and-take and discussion in class with limited success as Ken reports , but lab is where I get the best active student participation.
