The A&P Professor

Closing out the first year of this podcast, host Kevin Patton reviews some of the topics covered throughout the year. Caller Adam Rich asks about giving feedback to students in online tests. Have we discovered a new type of blood vessel in bones?

2 | New Type of Vessel in Bones

3.5 minutes

Scientists have discovered a system of small vessels that cross every part of a bone's cortical layers to supply most of the bone's blood—over 80% of the arterial supply and 59% of venous drainage. The proposed name is trans-cortical vessels (TCVs).

• We've discovered a new type of blood vessel in our bones (brief article summarizing the discovery) my-ap.us/2B6tHce
• A network of trans-cortical capillaries as mainstay for blood circulation in long bones (full research article) my-ap.us/2B6ttSq

3 | Big Year: Content Updates & Applications

6 minutes

The first of several segments in a "debriefing" of the first year of this podcast.

This year brought many content updates and brief teaching snippets, from using green pens for grading to the role of platelets in immunity. Too many to mention, but Kevin gives his best shot at listing some of those that seem to be most memorable.

5 | Big Year: The Big Ideas of the Past Year

11 minutes

Each full episode usually has a "featured topic." This segment reviews some of the major topics and themes that emerged during the first year of the podcast. From caring-empathy-compassion to integrity to storytelling, and from testing-as-teaching to elephant skin to learning science, a lot was covered! And what about those guest interviews--the Learning Scientists, media expert Barbara Waxer, anatomy educator Aaron Fried, and artist-professor Paul Krieger? And let's not forget those "lucky numbers"!

5 | Big Year: Wrapping Up

The essential concepts of anatomy & physiology can be recognized by students as the "big ideas" in the stories we tell. Will apoB tests replace LDL tests? How oxytocin works. How smell can affect cortisol/stress.

The big ideas are usually simple ideas. (David Ogilvy)

1 |Cholesterol & ApoB in Cardiac Risk

5 minutes

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the protein part of the lipoprotein particles in our bloodstream that contain cholesterol. In primary medical care, we often measure total low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or non-high-density lipoprotein (non-HDL) to help us determine risk for cardiovascular disease. As protocols are reviewed, some believe measuring ApoB is a better measure of cardiovascular risk.

• Apo B Test (summary of the Apo B blood test) my-ap.us/2AGg7fm

2 | How Oxytocin Works

4 minutes

We know oxytocin (OT) promotes labor contractions of the uterine myometrium. But how? New evidences helps explain the mechanism.

• Oxytocin can regulate myometrial smooth muscle excitability by inhibiting the Na+‐activated K+ channel, Slo2.1 (research article from The Journal of Physiology) my-ap.us/2AJsDLf

4 | Smell Affects Cortisol / Stress

4.5 minutes

Smells in our environment can increase or decrease blood cortisol levels, indicating modulation of our stress response. In particular, the smell of a romantic partner can reduce a woman's stress. Hmmm. Might it also reduce test anxiety? Interesting...

6 | Big Ideas - Essential Concepts in A&P

11.5 minutes

When telling the story of human structure & function, we want our students to identify the "big ideas" and even just the "kinda big ideas," as well as both the "main characters" and "minor characters." By making a habit of looking for the kinda big ideas, perhaps running a concept list to collect them, students may begin to understand the essential concepts of A&P. And it may help them see the connectness of the structures and functions of the body.

• See Neuro Workshop Flyer Summer 2019
  • my-ap.us/2AjU3Hb

    • Review of applications may begin earlier

2 | Ganglion cells

7 minutes

Light-sensitive ganglion cells contain the visual pigment melanopsin that is involved a non-imaging kind of vision that helps us detect sunlight levels in our environment. This information helps us sync our biological clocks to our environment—and may affect our mood.

4 | Dissections lists

19.5 minutes

Dissection lists are a type of "lab list" in which each structure required for discovery, familiarization, and/or mastery is listed in a clearly organized handout. This handout can be used by students for organizing learning and clarifying their learning objectives—and by teachers to help monitor student progress for effective coaching.

6 | Pre-dissection practice activity

7 minutes

A simple handout with photographs of dissection specimens can be used by students to walk through their dissection activity before they arrive in the lab. This gives them a stronger preparation that a "cold start" in lab, which often gets chaotic of students aren't practiced in finding structures.

• A similar approach can be used for learning the skeleton

6 | Helping students with text anxiety 45 minutes

Kevin's Theory of Test Anxiety states that we are ALL subject to test anxiety. Perhaps occasionally. Perhaps often. In any case, it can affect our ability to retrieve and apply the information we've practiced and thereby affect our performance—and score—on a test or exam. Sometimes significantly. What, if anything, can be done to avoid text anxiety or manage it once it strikes? What can teachers do? What can students do? Well, here's a place to start!
