AltA 6.11Skin investigation

Instructions

In this assignment we will watch The Biology of Skin Color video and answer questions related to the functions of the Integumentary system. 

We will watch the video together during class time so that I can pause and explain some of the topics but I have also included the same video below in this assignment. All of the information needed to answer the questions correctly is found in the video but feel free to watch the class recording for additional clarification and discussion with classmates. 
Here is a link to the class recording for this lesson- it includes an explanation for each of the following questions- I will update with this year's recording link after we go through this lesson together in class. 

Here is a link to the class recording from 10/27/23

Below are two videos that address handwashing procedures for those who work in a surgical setting. 
The first video looks at the use of hand sanitizer while the second is a traditional soap and water wash using a surgical scrub sponge. 

Watch both videos in order to respond to the questions that follow. 

You can visit this link to explore different careers that involve work inside of an operating room and see the education required to get there. This link explains job duties and shows average salaries for each job.

Based on the information you saw in the handwashing videos and our discussion during class time:

Why is it important for every member of a surgical team to follow such strict scrub procedures?

Does knowing this make you more or less interested in a career in a surgical setting? Why or why not?
