BCCAnatomy

• Please be sure that you have posted "live" links to two websites related to your topic to the group blog before the first (for some groups, that will be this Friday, Sept. 28!!)

• See schedule of chats for each group on Health and Well Being Home Pages

For 10:00 class:

For 12:00 class:

• In the first chat, we will be analyzing what makes for a good website or a not-so-good one.

• In the second chat, we will be reviewing rough drafts of your website reviews to see how they can be improved

• Quiz 2 will be available until Midnight on Sunday October 2nd. This quiz covers tissue types and skin, so you might want to wait until we have our last presentation on skin on Wednesday of this week before you do the quiz.
• Don't forget that the following week, of October 3, will be our first exam week. If you haven't already done so, I suggest starting on your compendium notebooks (if you intend to do one) and studying for the exam.
• This week we will finish up looking at tissue types and the return to a look at the skin in a more complete way. See those two presentations on the course home page.

Please take the first quiz by midnight Sunday September 25. It covers everything we did last week (the week of September 12), including:
-Embryonic origin of the basic body plan
-How anatomy and physiology fit into the hierarchy of life
-The important role of diffusion

• You just have one chance to do the quiz so please study before you open it up in WebCT.
• You have fifteen minutes to answer the ten multiple choice and matching questions which should be plenty of time if you have studied for the quiz.
• You will see the quiz is available because it has a little pencil symbol beside it. It is down towards the bottom of the quiz list--that is, it is not the first quiz in the list, which is not yet available.

Good luck--DO WELL!!

Throughout the course of the semester, please post any comments and questions here by clicking on the "comments" button below. You can use this instead of e-mail, especially if you think the question might be one your colleagues would share, or if you would like to be anonymous.

Next week we will be launching into the basic organizational plan of our body or a grand overview of how our body is put together. We will look at how the basic "tube within a tube" organization develops during embryo formation, and also how it is reflected in the overall adult body structure.

We will also look at where the study of anatomy and physiology fits into the overall hierarchy of life.

Also, we will look at the fundamental molecular building blocks and how important diffusion is to understanding physiological processes from the cellular level all the way to the whole organism.

Please be sure to be familiar with Chapters 1-5 in your text. You may need to go back to your Introductory Biology text if some of the concepts are not easily understandable.

On the course website, we will be looking at the powerpoint presentations on Diffusion and Embryos.

Next Friday we will meet online in the WebCT Chat space. The goal is to get organized into groups of three or four students and select a topic for your Health and Well-Being Blog. [link:

I would like to restrict you to topics related to the third part of the semester, on the head and neck. I will post some topic ideas here and talk more about this in class. So next Friday, September 16--see you on line!

Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Please check this blog at least weekly. I will be posting announcements for the week that will include what we will be doing in class, what you should be doing outside of class, and any other important information.

You can also use the comments section of this blog to post any questions or concerns you might have, as well as general comments. Think of this as something like a public e-maili forum. I am glad to respond to personal e-mails, but your question or concern is probably one that others have had as well, so I would prefer if you would post them here.

Looking forward to a great semester!
