WEEK 3

1. Microscope work:
· View prepared slides of each type of muscles: voluntary, involuntary, and cardiac.
· Make sure you draw and label the pictures of each slide you view in the space below. Examples of what the student should see are below. It should be similar to, not exactly like, what the student draws.







2. Dissection:
· It is an activity from Konos, Volume 3, numbers 14-16. Dissection of a chicken leg- thigh. Notice the location of the ligaments and the tendons, how the muscles are situated, and where the cartilage is. Draw and label in the space below.
Make sure the student draws in some muscles, tendons and ligaments in his drawing.

· Frog dissection. Examine the frog. Lay the frog on its back and cut the skin only making an incision from the neck to the legs, then pull the skin away observing how the skin is attached to the muscle. Carefully remove the skin from the ventral side (the belly) of the frog and the dorsal side (the back) and the other leg. Draw a diagram of the frog without its skin in the space below, draw in the muscles and try to label as many of them as you can.
An example of what the student should label from his drawing of his frog:
