1 | Hot Mitochondria

1.5 minutes

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.

2 | Podcast: Secrets of the Campus Cadavers

2:20 minutes

Paul Gabrielsen of the University of Utah introduces his new serial podcast that tells the story of the discovery of remains of medical education cadavers buried on campus about a hundred years ago.

3 | Teaching for Long Term Learning

19 minutes

A comment on Episode 4 by Margaret Thompson Reece sparks continued discussion of the value of a cumulative approach to teaching and learning. In this episode, Kevin gives additional examples of practical strategies to apply the cumulative approach in our A&P course and beyond.

Excellent talk! I would like to add that both the pre-test before A&P II and cumulative testing during the semester should particularly help students organize the physiology part of A&P. Physiology is a challenge to learn within a structure optimized for the anatomy part of the course. The three major systems that regulate homeostasis, the nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, are usually taught during A&PII. Yet, they are often needed to understand bone and muscle physiology during A&PI. When teaching physiology as a separate course, lectures often begin with the nervous or cardiovascular system. Maybe the cumulative form of testing proposed here would help students better organize their understanding of physiology, a subject that is difficult to master with memorization.

I didn’t think of it that way, but your idea of using a cumulative approach to testing would be a great way to help students build a solid conceptual framework of physiology!
