[nabs-l] Anatomy and Physiology Questions

[Sherry Pablo]

Hi Melissa and all,

I took Anatomy a couple of years ago. Many of the accommodations I
used were already mentioned such as utilizing models to learn various
structures of the body, extended time for exams and lab practicals,
and attending open lab hours with my professor.

If your professor creates handouts detailing what specific structures
or parts of the body or model are fair game for testing during the
practical, it is helpful to get these handouts a couple of days prior
to lab. I found it easier to follow the descriptions my professor and
other students explained while orientating my fingers since I had
already familiarized myself with the terminology. Lab is hands on and
it was useful to wear my Victor Stream around my neck to record
descriptions as you do not want to get formaldehyde on your equipment.
In my lab we worked on cadavers, a cat, a cow and sheep heart to name
a few, and other models of the skeleton and organ systems. When it
came to histology, tissue slides, I worked with my professor to
understand how each slide looked under the microscope. When it came to
the lab practical, my professor was my scribe.

Parts of my exams that were based on diagrams or pictures were
completed at a later time with my professor. Its important to
communicate with your teacher to work out ways to learn the material.
My professor set out time every week to work with me and he became
descriptive enough in lectures that was beneficial to the rest of the
class. I hope you enjoy the class as much as I did. If you have any
questions you can reach me off list
