Bone VARK Activities
1) Draw a concept map or flow chart highlighting the
events of a bone fracture repair (V).
2) Draw a flip story demonstrating endochondral
ossification (V,K)
3) You are the left humerus hyaline cartilage model in a
14-week-old fetus. How did you develop? As some of your chondrocytes
begin to multiply, describe what will happen to you next. Include the
following terms: mesenchyme ®
chondroblasts, primary ossification center, secondary ossification
center, bony collar, primary marrow space, epiphysis, diaphysis,
metaphysis, periosteal bud, chondroblasts, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts.
4) Describe the activity of osteoblasts and osteoclasts (e,g.
increased or decreased) and predict what effects both skeletal and
otherwise that might occur in the following situations.
a) body builder flexes his arm to increase biceps
mass (hint: see origin and insertion on pg. 362)
b) patient has osteopetrosis congenita where bone
thickens abnormally, especially in skull and long bones
c) person intakes too many calcium dietary
supplements
d) 30-year-old woman has her ovaries removed
e) elderly patient broke her hips and is bedridden
for several weeks with little physical therapy
5 a) Draw or construct a
model of 7-dehydrocholesterol and against a drawing or model of the
human body and move the molecule through the body showing how the
molecule changes until it finds its effector organs. (K) What does it
do in those effector organs?
b) Make a board
game that describes the process of Vitamin D metabolism and hormone
action.
Bone lab
Write a poem or story describing the different vertebrae
based on how many there are and what animals they look like.
Joint VARK Activities
1) Take the models of the
shoulder, elbow, knee and hip joints and identify the
significant structures. Identify what
the main stabilizing elements are. What type of synovial joint are
they? (V, K)
2) Look up different injuries
for these joints and see what structures are involved. Examples would
be: torn meniscus, dislocated hip or shoulder, tennis elbow (Joan
actually has a version called Dog Walker’s elbow) (R)
3) Take the various joint
models and look how they move. For different actions, e.g, bending or
flexing the elbow, try to determine what class lever is involved and
whether it is a mechanical advantage or disadvantage. (V, K)
4) Get ahead in lab and match
up the joint examples to their joint types on pg. 34 in the lab manual.
