6. Define the term stretch reflex and describe how stretch reflexes are used to anatomically localize SCI.

Task2: The main tissue types of the body and the role these play in two named organs of the body.

5. Most connective tissue, including bone, is highly vascular. Which anatomical structures in Mrs. Morgan’s compact bone house blood vessels? What sign or symptom in Mrs. Morgan’s case is directly related to disruption of these structures by her bone fractures? How is the sign or symptom related to these anatomical structures?

2. Describe and give at least one example of each of the functions of the integumentary system.

16. In bone structure, the cortex can best be described as which of the following?

The areas of Michael's brain that were injured during his birth affected his control over his voluntary movements. Which part of the nervous system distributes motor commands to skeletal muscles?

3. Identify the histological features (listed below) of the major endocrine glands on microscope slides.

Write a brief description of the three slides (Neuron, Spinal Cord Smear and C.S of Myelinated Nerve Fibers) as though you were explaining it to someone who cannot see the slide.

Discussion Questions: (Hint: Read the discussion of sensory and motor PATHWAYS in Chapter 15 and pay careful attention to where they cross over from right side to left side)

A. Sketch each slide below and describe the tissues and structures you observed on each slide.

b.) What is the role of cortical brain regions (i.e., cerebellum, the anterior cingulate cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the right frontal operculum)

The sheep's brain is extremely similar to a human brain. For example, the diagrams below show a great amount of similarity. While they are facing opposite directions, it is obvious that the frontal lobes are both in the anterior part of the brain, and the cerebellums are in the posterior part of the brain. While it may not be as easy to recognize, both of the parietal lobes are superior to the temporal lobes. The occipital lobes are also both posterior to the parietal, temporal, and frontal lobes. One difference in the two brains is the location of the cerebellum. While the sheep’s cerebellum is posterior to the occipital lobe, the human’s cerebellum is inferior to all of the lobes in the brain. The most obvious difference between the sheep

2. (6 pts) Turn your head to the right. (Create a table* that describes which muscles move which bones across which joints under the control of which nerves)

In the reading, “On the Relation of Man to the Lower Animals” by Thomas Henry Huxley tries to figure out the working functions of the brain. He compares the human brain

The medulla oblongata, or myelencephalon, is the most caudal segment of the brainstem. It extends from the level of the foramen magnum to the pons. Its lies almost vertically in the anterior part of posterior cranial fossa. It is about 3cm long 2cm wide. It is conical in shape broad above and narrow below. The superior margin of the medulla is located at the junction between the medulla and pons, the inferior margin is marked by the origin of the first pair of cervical spinal nerves. This occurs just as the medulla exits the skull through the foramen magnum. The cavity of the medulla consists of a narrow, caudal part, which is the continuation of the central canal of the cervical spinal cord, and a flared, rostral portion,
