Welcome to A&P I Lab • Outline of today • Class requirements • Syllabus • Class guidelines • Safety • Class Requirements • Weekly reading and activities • Participation and attendance • Weekly PAR quizzes • Near weekly lab quizzes • Two practical exams
Safety • Fire safety • No eating or drinking • No smoking • Proper clothing • Exits • Extinguishers • Blanket
Safety • Chemical safety • No eating or drinking • No smoking • Proper clothing • Inform the professor of special needs (pregnancy, immunosuppressive drugs, etc.) • Use safety glasses when requested • Shower • Eye wash • Chemical spill kit • Soft contacts • Clean work surfaces every time • Keep liquids away from bench edge • Gloves • Report all spills or accidents immediately • Work in groups • MSDS sheets on wall
Safety • Specimen & biohazard safety • No eating or drinking • No smoking • Proper clothing • Inform the professor of special needs (pregnancy, immunosuppressive drugs, etc.) • Soft contact lenses • Use safety glasses when requested • Decontaminate work surfaces with provided cleaners • Keep liquids away from bench edge • Gloves • Report all spills or accidents immediately • Work in groups • Properly label glassware, slides, etc. • Use mechanical pipetting devices • Biohazard disposal • Disposable sharps • Bagging and specimen disposal
Safety • General safety • Gloves • Proper clothing • Cleanliness: you, your equipment, your workspace • Work in groups • Proper disposal of: • Broken glass • Sharps • Biohazardous material • Chemicals • Cleaners & decontaminants • Always clean up immediately
Instruments and equipment • Microscopes • Upright • One hand supporting the arm & one hand supporting the base – ONLY! • Correctly adjust & use objective lenses • Secure positioning • No dangling cords • Do not turn the coarse adjustment knob past the 10x setting • Return to correct location in the cabinet • Correctly clean and return slides to proper locations • Report malfunctioning scopes
Important Figures and Tables Page 3: Table 1.2 Page 4: Figure 1.3 Page 5: Figure 1.4 Page 7: Figure 1.6
Things to know for the quizzes • Know & identify anterior and posterior body landmarks. • Know body orientation and direction. Human vs. four-legged animal • Know how to correctly use anatomical terminology • All terms on Need to Know sheet • Review Sheet Exercise questions
Anatomical Position • Reference point for anatomical directions • Head looking straight ahead • Palms pointing forward • Feet Pointing Forward, Shoulder-Width Apart
Important Figures Page 28: Figure 3.1
Things to know for the quizzes • Know & identify parts of the microscope. • Know how to properly handle and use a microscope. • Know magnifications for objective and ocular lenses • Know how to calculate TOTAL MAGNIFICATION (TM) and change in Field Diameter • Need to Know Sheet terms • Review Sheet Exercises
Calculations Field A; objective = 4x • Total Magnification (TM) = ocular * objective • Ocular is always 10 • Objective is 4 (scanning), 10, 40 or 100 (oil immersion) • Field DiameterB = (TMA * DiamA)/TMB • [(10x*4x)*2mm]/(10x100x) • DiamA is always measured • Trying to estimate size of the object • With increasing mag, field size decreases and object appears to increase 2mm Field B; objective = 100x
Important Figures and Tables Page 42: Table 4.1 Page 43: Figure 4.3 Pages 46 & 47: Figure 4.4 Histology Atlas on CD
Things to know for the quizzes • Know & identify cell organelles and know their basic functions (general eukaryotic or animal cell). • Know the basic anatomy of a cell. • 3. Know & Identify stages of mitosis and basic events in each stage.
