Blood
|
1.
Make a concept map of components of blood and the functions of blood and
characteristics of blood. For example, write down blood and draw a
square or circle around. Then draw a line
attached to the square going away from the
circle. Write plasma at end of it and then draw branches off that line
with all the characteristics and functions of plasma. Draw a line for
each of the formed elements and list the characteristics and functions
for each of the elements (Visual).

2. Create a mnemonic for each of the hemopoietic stages
for erythrocyte, the different leukocytes and platelets. (Aural,
Read/write)
|
|
3. Draw a hormone feedback loop for EPO similar to what
we did in 2113 lab. (V, Kinesthetic)
|
|
4. Write “Hemostasis: The Play” with four acts.
Characters or props could include: nociceptors, serotonin, ADP,
thromboxane, platelets, Factor III or XII, fibrinogen, and fibrin. (R,
A)
|
Heart
|
1. Draw a typical action potential of a neuron and label
it with what gates are opening and closing and the direction of ion flow
at the different stages. Now draw and label the action potential that
occurs in contractile cardiac muscle and conducting contractile muscle.
Make a list of differences between the different action potentials. (V,
R)
|
|
2. Make a stack of cards each with a different event that
occurs during the cardiac cycle, e.g., AV valves open, pressure in
ventricles > pressure in arteries. Make up a separate set of cards of
the five different stages, e.g., quiescent period, atrial systole, etc.
Mix up the event cards and lay the stage cards in a row. Place the
event cards under the correct stage card and order correctly under the
stage. Ex: AV valves open under isovolumetric relaxation but placed
last. Try to do this without looking at the book or notes and thinking
about why each event goes under each event. (V, K)
|
|
3. Imagine you are a red blood cell (Erin or Eric
Erythrocyte). Write or tell your story as you go through the heart
during the cardiac cycle. (R, A)
|
|
4. Draw feedback loops for control of heart rate that
involves input to the cardiac center from propioceptors, baroreceptors,
chemoreceptors, and emotional stimuli. (V, K)
|
Blood vessels
|
1. Draw a concept map of the different blood vessel types
(arteries, capillaries and veins) with information on the branches about
histology for each type. (V)
|
|
2. Write a poem for each of the blood vessel types.
Possible styles: limericks (There once was vessel called artery…), haiku
(3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables) or iambic pentameter
(ask an English professor). (R) Read them out loud. (A).
|
|
3. Draw a mind map showing the different factors
affecting blood flow. Start with blood flow in middle with circle
around it and then draw the factors that affect blood flow (blood
pressure and peripheral resistance) around it. Draw arrows connecting
these to blood flow and indicate whether they positively affect it or
negatively affect it. Then draw in any factors that affect these
factors connecting whatever they affect and whether it is a positive or
negative relationship. (V)

 4.
Capillary Exchange Critical Thinking: Predict what would happen to net
movement of water, blood volume and/or fluid accumulation in tissues
under the following situations:
a) A tumor in the liver resulted in the release of more
plasma proteins than normal.
b) A person became hypotensive.
c) The lymphatic vessels became blocked.
5. Draw the normal flow of blood through the heart. Now
draw the flow of blood through the fetal heart. (V)
