11The Language of AnatomyExErcisEIf time is limited, most of this exercise can be done as an out-of-class assignment.Time Allotment:½ hour in lab.Multimedia Resources:See Appendix B for a list of multimedia resource distributors.Biology Essentials:The Human Body: The Ultimate Machine(CBS, 22 minutes, DVD)Advance Preparation1.Set out human torso models and have articulated skeletons available.2.Obtain three preserved kidneys (sheep kidneys work well) and three bananas. Cut one of each in trans-verse section, one in longitudinal section (usually a sagittal section), and leave one uncut. Label the kid-neys and put them in a demonstration area. You may wish to add a fourth kidney to demonstrate a frontalsection.3.The day before the lab, prepare gelatin or Jell-O®spaghetti using slightly less water than is called for andcook the spaghetti until it is al dente. Pour the gelatin into several small molds and drop several spaghettistrands into each mold. Refrigerate until lab time.4.Set out gelatin spaghetti molds and scalpel.Comments and Pitfalls1.Students will probably have the most trouble understanding proximal and distal; other than that thereshould be few problems.Answers to Activity QuestionsActivity 2: Practicing Using Correct Anatomical Terminology (p. 3)1.The wrist isproximalto the hand.2.The trachea (windpipe) isanteriororventralto the spine.3.The brain issuperiororcephaladto the spinal cord.4.The kidneys areinferiororcaudalto the liver.5.The nose ismedialto the cheekbones.6.The chest issuperiorto the abdomen.M01_MARI5487_05_C01_pp001-003.indd110/02/1610:14 AMPreview Mode
