Sounds like a great idea. Carol

Sounds like a great idea.

The original idea was to remove some of the muscles, see the list in Lab 11 of the Lab Instructor Outline, but not all of them so that they could apply the vessels without much interference but they would also learn that some vessesls (particularly veins) run superficially and other run deep to particular muscles. […]

Yes, my lab went very well too. The students seem to love doing the modeling and when they looked at the plastic torso they had no difficulty picking out the muscles which they had built. In my Tuesday class many students were not prepared, I think they were overwhelmed with the practical but most of […]

I aggree they need time to examine each muscle so that they can place it correctly. I think building the manikin with the students is good as long as it doesn’t prevent the instructor from circulating around the home and helping those that need help and keeping the slower groups on track. It’s easy to […]

I aggree Dennis the pencils would be helpful. We did have the Amerman folks create composite illustrations for us since we were concerned with their initial illustrations. Take a look at the composite muscle illustrations in the Ancillary Illustrations that each student received with their lab package and which I left in the faculty mailboxes. […]

That sounds good to me. I’m eager to hear how this weeks lab goes too as we introduce the students to the manikins and they start their modeling. Carol

Sure, why not. Carol

I don’t think that is a problem. See Alfredo about getting a manikin and some clay. If you need my help, just ask. Carol
