Today we dove into the skeletal system. We started by discussing the primary organs of the skeletal system then talked about the functions of the skeletal system.
These functions include support, protection, movement, storage, and hemopoiesis (blood cell formation).
This information can be found on pages 121 - 122 in your textbook.
We uncovered the basic structure using a long bone. These vocabulary terms include:
- Epiphysis
- Epiphyseal plate vs. line
- Diaphysis
- Periosteum
- Articular cartilage
- Medullary cavity
- Endosteum
- Cancellous (spongy) bone
- Compact bone
- Red and yellow marrow
Below is the PowerPoint used to take notes.
Homework: students are expected to continue to work on their study guide that was received before break.

Today we will be uncovering the microscopic structure of bones and cartilage and the composition of bones. We will also be setting up a bone laboratory experiment using chicken and turkey bones in vinegar to see the composition of bones in a more visual manner (collagen and calcium-containing mineral called apatite).
Students should know these vocabulary terms from today:
- Bone
- Cancellous (spongy) bone
- Dense or compact bone
- Trabeculae
- Osteons (Haversian system)
- Concentric lamella (lamellae: plural)
- Haversian (central) canal
- Osteocytes
- Lacuna (Lacunae: plural)
- Canaliculi
- Periosteum
- Chondrocytes
- Hematopoietic tissue (Red bone marrow)
PowerPoint notes are located in the PowerPoint Link from January, 2. can also be found on pages 123-124 in the your textbook.
We also talked about bone formation in adults as well as bone formation in fetuses and infants. The following video is what we watched in class today.
New vocabulary from bone formation:
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoclasts
- Endochondral Ossification
- Epiphyseal Plate
- Hyaline cartilage
- Chondrocytes

Funny video friday! (video located below for your "humerus" pleasure!)
Today we set up a chicken bone lab using long bones and we will be soaking them in vinegar until Monday.
We covered the axial skeleton. A list of bones and markings was given out for students to know what is expected of them as far as memorization and locating specific bones goes. The bones and markings were shown on "Skippy" our skeleton and online (for the skull and facial bones).
Students should keep working on their study guides. I will be checking their skeleton lab overview packet on Wednesday for completion to make sure class time is being used wisely.
PLEASE ADD THE HYOID BONE TO YOUR BONES TO KNOW.

Today we introduced the appendicular skeleton and started on the skeleton lab packet. This will be due on test day (as with the other two study guides).
Below there is a bones to know list to help you know which bones are fair game as far as testing goes. PLEASE NOTE: the rib bones are part of the thorax and are included in the AXIAL skeleton...not the appendicular. My mistake!
Also, you can add caracoid process, sacroiliac joint, and pubic symphysis to the list for markings.
Make sure you understand the differences between a man and a woman's pelvis as well.
The last portion of class time was given to work on the skeletal lab as well as the skull lab. Below are links to these files.

Today we took a quiz on the microscopic bone and long bone structure. It was out of 25 possible points. We graded it in class as well.
Students had the majority of the day to work on their two laboratory packets (the overview of the skeleton and the skull lab [both packets are found on the links directly above]). I also found an AWESOME website with differnent views of the skull to better aid the students in labeling their diagrams in the their skull lab packet.

Today we used the classtime to finish up our laboratory packets. The overview of the skeleton and the skull lab should be completed by the end of the day.
HINT: for both labs, the beginning pages briefly explain what you are looking for and doing in the packets. Especially for the skull lab. The skull lab gives you the different bones of the skull and face as well as the markings. If you can locate the marking that it is asking for on the bone in the diagram...find the bone in the first couple of information pages and read about the different markings on that bone. This will let you know what markings you will be looking for. The textbook does not give such a fabulous, informative representation.
KEEP STUDYING, the test is on Tuesday, January 15, 2013.

Today we covered joints (articulations) and the many different types we have in our bodies. We also covered some complications and diseases of the joints.
We moved onto movements of the body which will also be seen in the muscular unit that we are starting next week.
There is a quiz tomorrow on the bones in the appendicular and axial skeleton as well as some minor questions on the skull and face bones.
REMEMBER, ALL STUDY GUIDES AND LAB PACKETS ARE DUE THE DAY OF THE TEST WHICH IS TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2013.

Oh, my lucky students! We had no class Friday which means our quiz was moved to today! The rest of the class period will be used to finish study guides and other laboratory packets as well as to review for the test that is still tomorrow. Make sure to STUDY STUDY STUDY!
ALL of the packets you have received up until this point are due tomorrow.

Test day! Working hard! I should have the test scores in the system by tonight if not tomorrow morning. Study guides and lab packets will most likely be in by Friday (end of term). Good job class on a great first unit with me as the teacher! I appreciate it!
We will go over the test a bit tomorrow.
