I also ran into a lot of students who were studying for today's lecture quiz during lab hours. While you should be studying lecture material outside of class, doing so in lab will eat up the limited amount of time you have to learn the material. Each lab is only set up and available to you for one week.
How to orient the bones that form the Pectoral Girdle:
Scapula:- Scapular spine faces posteriorly
- Glenoid cavity faces laterally
- The flattened (sternal) end is medial
- Medial curvature of the clavicle projects anteriorly
- Superior surface is smooth, inferior surface is rough
- Head of the humerus is proximal and medial
- Olecranon fossa is posterior; medial epicondyle is medial
Pelvic Girdle:
I used an analogy today and compared the pelvic girdle to a basketball hoop. The ilium and sacrum make up the backboard. The pelvic brim (pelvic inlet) is the hoop and the ishium and pubis make up the net. The space above the hoop is the false pelvis, the space within the net is the true pelvis. The bottom of the net is the pelvic outlet. |

Regarding Tutor Requests
Joanne at Student Success Center sent out the following email to clear up any issues:
For students enrolled in Prof. Odewale’s sections (BIOL 1010-001, 002,
003, 004) you have an anatomy tutor IN YOUR LAB!!!
Please use the tutor in the lab. Based on the past six years that I
have been doing this job, most anatomy students have questions about the
lab portion of class. This is why we pay the tutors to work in the
lab. Do not be afraid to ask your lab tutor questions.
The schedule of lab tutors is below.
BIOL 1010-003 Human Anatomy T 9 – 12 Paula 3034
BIOL 1010-001 Human Anatomy W 11 – 2 Brandon
3034
BIOL 1010-004 Human Anatomy R 9 – 12 Paula 3034
BIOL 1010-002 Human Anatomy F 10:30 – 1:30 Nicole
3034
TIPS for Studying for Anatomy
·
Most students will need to set aside about 15-20 hours of studying per week. This is in addition to your lecture and lab hours.
o
Study for no more than one hour at a time.
Take
a breaks. Do not study for 3-4 hours straight without a break – it’s a
waste of your time since your brain cannot absorb information after
about an hours’ worth of studying!
o
Study 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon, 1 hour at night EVERYDAY and you will have studied for 21 hours that week!
·
Many students leave lab early – DO NOT
LEAVE LAB EARLY! This is your chance
to work with the instructor and the lab tutor (if you are in a section that has a lab tutor).
·
Read your textbook, use PAL,
flashcards, coloring books, etc.
·
Talk with your instructor – he/she is the subject matter expert and they want to help you learn!
·
Visit the Student Success Center to use the bones, muscles, etc. to study when the lab is closed
·
Sign up for a study skill workshop if you need more help in developing better study habits.

Next Week:
All lab exams will be given next week during the first half of your scheduled lab time. The exam will cover all of the information from labs 1, 2, and 3 - Tissues, Axial Skeleton, and Appendicular Skeleton. At the end of labs 2 and 3, there is a list of bones and their features that should have already identified in lab. At the end of lab 1, there is a table that should help you identify tissues. Questions on the exam are based off of these lists. Also, if you are having trouble remembering bone features, refer to the chart on page 133 of your textbook.The second half of lab, following the exam, will begin the section on the muscular system, starting with muscle tissues. Since this is mostly review, it is likely that labs 4 and 5 will be combined. Cat dissections also start next week. Remember to bring gloves to lab. You will need them for the rest of the semester.
