Tattoos May Impair Sweating

5 minutes

It's interesting to see how tattoos can have an impact on our skin and sweat glands. Tattoos involve mechanical stress and potential damage to the skin, and new research suggests that they may negatively affect the sweat glands, impairing sweating in the area of the tattoo. This reduction in sweating is called anhidrosis, which can impact our ability to maintain body temperature and potentially lead to severe conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. While this is still a preliminary study and more research needs to be done, it's a great example of how discussing real-life applications of anatomy and physiology concepts, such as tattoos, can engage students and make the information more relatable and interesting.

Aural Diversity. It's a Thing.

16 minutes

In this segment, host Kevin Patton talks about aural diversity, which refers to variations in hearing ability among people. He explains that understanding aural diversity is important for teachers because it helps them reach all of their students, who may have different hearing abilities. Kevin also notes that he has a hearing impairment himself, and that many other people do as well. He offers some strategies for communicating with people who have hearing impairments, such as repeating things louder, more slowly, and with exaggerated annunciation. Kevin emphasizes that it's important for people to be aware of aural diversity so that they can provide help and support to those who need it.

Deep Elaboration

10.5 minutes

This segment introduces the Deep Elaboration approach, which is used to help students who learn differently, including students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, and students on the autism spectrum. The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) offers a variety of professional development programs for helping challenged students, and we are interested in these strategies for neurodiverse learners because they often work well for all students. A strong memory is one that is durable, flexible, and involves desirable difficulty to learn. Deep elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex whole, which involves asking questions that help build deep explanations of core concepts. This approach focuses on the underlying principles and causes of the material being studied and involves a mechanistic approach rather than a teleological approach.

Deeper Elaboration

12.5 minutes

In this segment, we suggest that promoting the think-aloud process among A&P students can help them better understand and make connections with the concepts they are learning. The think-aloud process involves telling themselves or being told to stop and think about why certain concepts or facts work the way they do, and to explain them out loud, write them down, or draw pictures to help reinforce the understanding. By doing so, students can identify where they are weak and need to ask more questions, and create an explanation or self-explanation for themselves. This process can also help students connect new concepts to their existing framework of knowledge and make future connections. We also suggest using concept mapping and running concept lists as physical ways to record and reinforce the think aloud process. Finally, we suggest asking deep questions that intentionally take students deeper than simple facts, such as elaborative interrogation, to better understand the why and logic behind the concepts they are learning.

In another of our Winter Shorts episodes, Kevin Patton discusses nine (or is it ten?) simple strategies for improving student learning of the human skeleton in the anatomy and physiology course.

Guess what? This is another one of our winter shorts! Yep, that's right, it's a shorter-than-usual episode in which I present one or two, or maybe three or four, classic, evergreen segments from previous episodes that are remastered, reconstituted, and recycled for your listening and learning pleasure. But mainly it's to give me a break for self-care over the holiday season. We'll be back to our regular programming in late January.

Strategies for Learning the Skeleton

9 minutes

Learning the bones and bone markings of the skeleton can be an early, scary experience for A&P students. How can we prepare and support our students to learn the skeleton effectively—and learn skills to help them in their continuing studies of human anatomy? This is the first half of a popular segment from a classic episode.

★ This segment was first heard in Nine Super Strategies for Teaching the Skeleton | Episode 10

★ Bone Names (Kevin's tip page for A&P students; located in the Lion Den website)

★ ★ Short URL (to provide to students) is my-ap.us/bones

★ ★ Provides a brief intro to bone naming and how that helps a student learn bones and markings

★ ★ Provides 2 videos that walk students through the process of understanding bone names as a method of learning

★★ Contains highlighted links to helpful lists

★ ★ ★ Lists are available as a docx or PDF "handouts" to use for study

★ ★ Lists are also available as an interactive table on the web (can be sorted)

★ ★ ★ ★ Access to lists requires a free registration in the Lion Den website

Episode 127 is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, you'll hear about the role of platelets in immunity, how the Golgi apparatus gets its weird shape, exactly how hot mitochondria get, and why we may want to consider marking assignments and tests with a green pen, rather than a red one.

Mitochondria

1.5 minute

Mitochondria run about 10 °C hotter than the other components of the cell. This number may be helpful when discussing thermoregulation, metabolism, cell biology, and more.

• Hot mitochondria? (an article in PLOS Biology) AandP.info/hw7
• This segment first aired in Teaching For Long Term Learning | Episode 7

Platelets

5 minutes

I summarize the newly described functions of motile platelets (not the sticky ones) in grabbing and bundling bacteria from a site of injury. The motile platelets then deliver the bacteria to neutrophils, which gobble up the bacteria. I offer suggestions on when (and if) one could use this information in teaching an A&P course.

Golgi Apparatus

5 minutes

The Golgi apparatus has a distinctive flattened shape. It turns out that it's the functioning of the cytoskeleton that is responsible for that shape.

★ Why the Golgi Apparatus Looks So Funny (Kevin's blog post)

★ GOLPH3 bridges phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate and actomyosin to stretch and shape the golgi to promote budding. (research article)

★ Golgi's Job Stretches it Thin (article from Science News)

★ Terminologia Histologica: International Terms for Human Cytology and Histology (book plus CD)

This segment first aired in Actin & Myosin & A Love Story | Episode 15

Green Pens

2.5 minutes

It's a small thing, for sure, but the color pen we use for grading student work can have an impact on the tone of communication in a class.

★ No Red Pens! (Kevin's blog post on this topic; with links to additional information)

★ Green Felt Tip Pens

★ Green Gel Pens
