The overall A&P program is broken down into smaller unit studies which are also broken down into chapters. Each chapter is further broken down into lessons. There are between 3 and 6 lessons per chapter, including the final chapter test. A new chapter will be added to the school page every two weeks until the entire program has been added. Each lesson is then broken down into a video that teaches the topic, readings that delve a bit deeper, problem-based activities, and Quizzlets. This setup provides a way to reduce the overwhelming feeling that sometimes comes up when we are faced with a daunting task while also allowing students and parents to choose to take the entire course, or just the units and chapters they are interested in learning. There will be 6 Units and 17 Chapter This is course is Chapter 7: Muscle Tissue Though this progam is self-paced, I am always available for help or guidance if needed through email or video. Though I hold students to a high standard I understand that standard is different for each student. I believe the best way to learn in through guidance as a learner progresses. Though I can provide grades if requested, I focus mostly on providing critical feedback that will help guide the student to a better understanding. I see mistakes as learning points and not as something that is bad or needed to be avoided at the cost of true effort.
Learning Goals
Students will examine the structure and organization of skeletal muscle, including muscle fibers, fascicles, and connective tissues, and explain its role in voluntary movement and posture.
Students will describe the steps of muscle fiber contraction and relaxation, including the sliding filament theory, the role of actin, myosin, calcium ions, and ATP, and the involvement of neuromuscular junctions.
