Assessments

//**Assessments** Your understanding of the above will be assessed at various times by completion of the following//

A. Answer the essential questions either orally or in written form

B. Predict how the various bones of the skeleton would adapt to a variety of permanent positional changes

C. You are a coroner with expertise in bone remodeling and trauma. You have been asked to produce a report for a group of novice medical students that shows how bones and articulations can change in relation to a variety of outside forces. • Pick three bones, at least one from either the axial, or appendicular skeleton • For each bone explain the effects of three different scenarios on the shape and structure of the bone. • At least one scenario should deal with the effect of this scenario on the articulation the bone has with another bone. • For example: Radius bone. Effects of skateboard accident, heavy manual work using a hand tool, extensive typing

 * //Other Evaluations during the unit may include….//**

Research a bone and prepare a single-sided (22x28cm) information sheet/display on this bone. Try and make it attractive and interesting to look at. Due Friday Feb 6th Your sheet should contain, but not be limited to, the following information • Diagram of bone, labeled, from a few angles if necessary (5 points) • Position on skeleton (2) • 3 Identification marks on bone (3) • Function of bone (5) • Site and names of 2 muscles attachment (2) • Site and points of 2 ligament attachment (2) • Articulations (4) • Explanation of how the structure of the bone is designed to the function it performs (7) • Overall effect (5)

Identification and classification of various bone samples Compare and contrast the male and female pelvis Verbal evaluation on area of the skeletal system Annotate a diagram of a long bone to show how its form follows function Identifying the position of the spinal cord vertebrae based on their structure Unit Evaluation
