No Bell Ringers for the rest of the year!!

But still have a seat and be quiet please!

Senior Finals – June 1st

Next week – reteach objectives never mastered throughout the year Exs: Labeling heart anatomy, Use directional terms to explain body parts, etc.

Why??

While we review for your final…We are going to give you last minute study tips for next year

Each day will focus on a different technique that you can use to help you succeed in your classes next year

So…to me you are college students now. Which means… I am not always going to tell you how or when to take notes.

You are in charge of doing what you need to so that you can master these objectives on the exam

I will post documents and ppts to the website so you can study from home

As always, you are responsible for getting any make up work from your peers, not the teacher.

Today’s Goals:

Master Obj: Use Directional Terms to Relate Parts of the Body Unit 1 Overall Mastery after Test: 68.5% Distance to goal: 11.5%

Use Study Tools: Songs & Rhymes

Directional Terms BackgroundAnterior = front

The face is anterior to the buttPosterior = back

The spine is posterior to the belly button

Superior = above, up The nose is superior to the mouth

Inferior = below, down The toes are inferior to the knees

Directional Terms Background

Proximal = closer to trunk of body The shoulder is proximal than the elbow

Distal = further from trunk of body The knees are distal than thigh

Medial = closer towards the middle of body The nose is medial to the ears

Lateral = farther from the middle of the body The wrists are lateral to the chest

Songs & Rhymes

Music is extremely helpful for learning new material

We used this when we learned our anatomical terms song

Anatomical Terms Song (to the tune of Yankee Doodle)

Orbital, Nasal, Oral, ThoracicAbdominal, Carpal, DigitalsPubic, Patellar, and your TarsalsThat makes up the AnteriorTurn around and let’s do the Posterior

Starting with the DeltoidsVertebral, Gluteal and the FemoralThose are our anatomical terms!

Overall Mastery for objective:

Define Anatomical Terms:

94.2%

Directional Terms Poem:

Superior is up, Inferior is downAnterior towards the front,

Posterior: turn around!Distal has distance, Proximal is

closeLateral is away, Medial is your

nose
