1 | Measles and Immune Amnesia

8.5 minutes

Measles (MV) is very contagious and can be deadly, even though some cases are mild to moderate. However, it can also "erase" some or all of our immune memory!

• Measles and Immune Amnesia (article from American Society for Microbiology) my-ap.us/2F0Chew
• Watch: The tricks that make measles so infectious (video you can use in your class) my-ap.us/2EWugar
• Notes
  • In this segment, the necessary step of memory cells producing effector cells (that engage pathogens) in subsequent exposures to the "remembered" pathogen is glossed over for simplicity of discussion.
  • Presumably, the "live" attenuated MV used in vaccination triggers formation of memory cells against MV without causing the full-blown infection that impairs immune memory of other pathogens.

5 | The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis

26 minutes

Multiple models of homeostasis may be needed for students to fully understand the important core concept of homeostasis. Here, Kevin describes an analogy he uses—a person on a highwire. Listen to why he calls this model The Wallenda Model and find out how he uses it to better understand homeostasis.

• • The Wallendas are a family of highwire artists famous for very high/long "sky walks" and human pyramids on the wire
    • Karl Wallenda, the most famous of the clan, died from a fall off the wire during a sky walk
    • The famous 7-person pyramid was also marred by a tragic fall
  • NOTE: The balance pole is normally up to about 30 pounds or so. The 80-pound figure given in this episode would be unusually heavy.
  • Elements of The Wallenda Model
    • Variable: position of body
    • Set point: directly over the wire
    • Sensors: nerve receptors (eyes, inner ears, muscle stretch receptors, etc.)
    • Integrator: brain
    • Effectors: skeletal muscles
  • Where to send students:
    • lionden.com/homeostasis.htm
      • A summary of all three models Kevin uses to teach homeostasis
      • Includes photos and links to videos
    • Survival Guide for Anatomy & Physiology
      • lionden.com/tips-survival-guide.htm
      • Includes a short, illustrated summary of The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis

A few years ago, the city council of Monza, Italy, barred pet owners from keeping goldfish in curved bowls... saying that it is cruel to keep a fish in a bowl with curved sides because, gazing out, the fish would have a distorted view of reality. But how do we know we have the true, undistorted picture of reality? (Stephen Hawking)

In Episode 43 (the previous full episode), I mistakenly swapped my "left" and "right" when describing situs inversus in a body donor from the 1800s. Oops. I corrected it later in the audio file, but the corrected audio may not play in all platforms.

This mistake does bring up how easy it is to get even the simple stuff wrong without realizing that's what's coming out of our mouth! Yikes.

8 | How Our Students Address Us

17.5 minutes

A conversation with Mike Pascoe got me to thinking about different preferences we have for how we want our students to address us. Professor? Mr. or Ms.? Doctor? or just Kevin. As long as they don't call me late for dinner, eh?

There's more to this question than meets the eye (and ear)!

• Some different takes on this:
  • Do You Make Them Call You 'Professor'? | Why I began to rethink my views on classroom decorum (opinion article) my-ap.us/2WQFYue
  • Doctor, Professor or 'Hey, You'? (opinon article)my-ap.us/2WMBFQD

5 | Situs Inversus

16 minutes

Situs inversus is a mirrorlike flipping of visceral organs that occurs in embryonic development. Also called situs transversus or situs oppositus. Normal siting of organs is called situs solitus.

• Situs inversus and my 'through the looking glass' body (recent article by someone living with situs inversus) my-ap.us/2WatPzP

• Heart Transplantation in Situs Inversus Maintaining Dextrocardia (interesting study of transplanting 'normal' hearts into patients with dextrocardia) my-ap.us/2WmbTlL

ERROR: In my discussion of the cast of situs inversus in the young man from the 1800s, I mixed up my left and right. Yikes. The appendix is on the right in situs solitus, but on the left in situs inversus. This was corrected in the audio file on 10 May 2019, but the correction may not be heard in all available platforms.

7 | Variety of Anatomic Variations

5 minutes

Perhaps variation is normal. And maybe "normal" is a mythical, but useful, construct we use in understanding human anatomy.

• Brief list of some human anatomical variations my-ap.us/2WrAC8q
• Online atlas of anatomy variations AandP.info/AnatomyAtlasVariations
• How do we handle anatomic variations (vs. "normal") in our A&P course?
  • I'm thinking there isn't a best way. I'm thinking it's largely up to us as artists to decide what works best.
    • Remember, in my world, teaching is both and art and a science. We are, among other things, artist of telling stories. Stories about the human body.
    • So I think we need to really think about, play with, experiment with, different ways of telling our story of human anatomy so that at some point it's clear that we don't all look like the idealized sketches in our books and models on the lab bench. Or even all the elderly cadavers in our dissection lab.
    • Perhaps we can begin by being clear and intentional about pointing out differences arising from development and aging, from the effects of sex hormones, from environmental influences, from the range of possible human activities (or lack of activity), then bring in all those variations in genetic code and variations in how embryological events unfold, or maybe I should say fold.
  • I think in the end, the best story of human anatomy is a story of the awesome and beautiful balance of both unity and variety in the human form.
