Think about the following questions:
What was the highlight of your weekend?
What is your favorite season? Why?
If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?
Share your answers with your group members. The person whose birthday is the closest to TODAY goes first!

Then, draw a picture of something you have in common with a group member. Please include their name!

In your group, nominate one person to be the Reader, one person to be the Manager, and one person to be the Spokesperson.

Reader - reads questions / terms and other parts of the activity out loud for the group
Manager - makes sure all students are working together on same question and group finishes on time
Spokesperson - shares the group's ideas during whole class discussion

In the space below, list which person in your group has each job.

Note: If you team has 4 people, assign one person the role of Timekeeper.

Part 1: Creature Share-Out
Share the pictures of your creature with your group and discuss the following:
Does the creature follow the criteria?
Are the drawings consistent?  (The biggest mistake I see here is that heads / limbs are pointed in different directions between different perspectives!)
Are the drawings labeled correctly?
As you talk, answer questions 4-5.

What did you do well on your creature?

What changes, if any, do you need to make to your creature? Be specific!

Part 2: Body Regions
The diagram below shows the body regions that you will be responsible for knowing throughout the year.  While some may seem more intuitive than others at the time, we will be using all of these terms at some point in Honors Anatomy & Physiology.

Look through the diagram below.  For each term, think to yourself  'Why might that area be named that?'

In the table below, write/type a description for the location of the body regions listed.

Use the directional terminology from last week as much as possible (anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, superior, inferior, distal, proximal, ventral, dorsal)

(Need help getting started? Check out the warm-up! You can steal those word for word if you want!)

ANOTHER HINT! Switch the font to be smaller by choosing the the smallest line thickness.

Pick any three body regions listed in the picture above.  For questions 7 - 9, use the medical terminology website (found here) to make an educated guess as to WHY the regions are called what they are.

For example:

Inguinal:  acromial:  acr = extremities; top; extreme point

Body Region #1

Body Region #2

Body Region #3

PART 3: Cross Sections
Examine three of the planes / cuts that we will be using throughout the year:


These cuts will be helping us to visualize different parts of the body throughout the year.  It is important when doing a dissection or learning about the gross anatomy of an area to know which perspectives will allow us to see certain organs or components best.

For questions 11-14, draw a dotted line indicating the cut provided in the question.  Then, draw a rough sketch of the cross section resulting from this cut.
