"Technology will never replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational." (George Couros)

 

This Episode

1.5 minutes

Kevin introduces Steve Sullivan, our special guest for this episode.

 

 

Becoming Steve Sullivan

4 minutes

Steve introduces how he became an A&P instructor, beginning with chiropractic training, tutoring peers, and eventually stepping into the classroom. His path reflects that mix many of us recognize—clinical experience, a spark for teaching, and an opportunity that suddenly opens. He shares what drew him in, what kept him hooked, and why A&P has become the center of his professional life.

 

Your Teaching Voice *

1 minute

A brief moment to reflect on the tone and personality we bring into our teaching—whether in class or in audio—and how a small shift in our teaching voice can make learning feel warmer and more inviting.

 

Why Start a Podcast?

6.5 minutes

Steve explains how his long-standing love of podcasts led him to create Anatomy & Physiology: Bit by Bit. Starting with simple tools meant for his own students, the show soon reached thousands around the world. Steve talks about early inspirations, favorite podcasts, and why audio gives students a flexible, motivating way to tackle hard content while living their daily lives.

 

Farewell to TAPP ed *

1.5 minutes

A short update announcing the official wrap-up of the TAPP ed micro-credentials, why the program is ending, and how listeners can still access their badges through 2025.

Growing a Podcast & Growing Through It

4 minutes

Here Steve talks about the surprising reach of his show, the long break he took, and how student feedback pulled him back. We explore the challenges of maintaining a creative project during COVID and how stepping away can renew energy. His reflections highlight the emotional side of teaching—motivation, burnout, renewal—and the growing global audience for A&P learning.

 

Authors Alert *

1 minute

A quick notification for authors about the Anthropic court settlement and how to check whether their textbooks, lab manuals, or scholarly works were used in AI training without permission.

 

Digital Teaching That Actually Helps

10 minutes

Steve describes the evolution of his digital teaching from narrated PowerPoints to polished animated tutor videos. He explains why multiple modalities matter, how students benefit from short targeted videos, and what pushed him to build his own website to escape constant LMS migrations. His story offers practical strategies we can all adopt to give students better access and ourselves more control.

 

When Our Tools Disappear *

2 minutes

A reminder that tech tools come and go — including the TAPP app — reinforcing the importance of flexibility and resilience in our teaching toolkits.

 

A&P Tools That Fit Any Textbook

16 minutes

We talk about the A&P Digital Suite and how it became a book-agnostic set of tools. Steve explains why instructors wanted digital resources that weren't tied to a single textbook and how the suite supports OER courses as well. We discuss lab simulations, adaptive questions, and accuracy review—a useful look at how digital tools grow into teaching ecosystems far beyond one classroom.

 

Collaboration Audit *

0.5 minute

A moment to think about reaching outside our usual circles for collaboration, and a gentle prompt to reconnect with another A&P educator to share ideas.

 

What 23 Years of A&P Reveals

12 minutes

Steve reflects on what he wishes he had known earlier: the power of giving students resources upfront, the challenge of teaching combined A&P without ever taking it, and how much teaching evolves. We explore shifts in online A&P, simulation labs, resistance to change, and the importance of communities like HAPS. It's a thoughtful end to a wide-ranging conversation that celebrates growth and experimentation.

 

Innovation Check *

0.5 minute

An invitation to reflect on one teaching idea you've been curious about but haven't yet tried—and what might happen if you simply gave it a test-drive.

* Breaks

"The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy." (bell hooks)

 

Murray Jensen, HAPS President's Medal Laureate

1.5 minutes

Kevin introduces his guest, Murray Jensen, a Professor of Biology Teaching and Learning at the University of Minnesota. He highlights Murray's research focus on teaching and learning in human anatomy and physiology, his emphasis on POGIL and cooperative learning, and his many awards, including the 2024 HAPS President's Medal. Kevin also notes Murray's warm reputation as a mentor and colleague, framing the conversation as both professional and deeply personal.

 

 

What is Dual Enrollment, Anyway?

9 minutes

Murray explains how dual enrollment works in Minnesota through the College in the Schools program, which currently involves 28 high schools and 1,100 students. He emphasizes the importance of professional development and the community of practice that keeps teachers connected, supported, and inspired. Kevin shares his own experiences with dual enrollment, reflecting on how it shaped his career and outlook as an educator.

 

Guided Inquiry, Not Guided Napping

13 minutes

This segment digs into pedagogy. Murray describes his approach to selecting teachers, focusing on passion and spark, and how he encourages them to adopt guided inquiry and cooperative group learning. He shares stories about the challenges of letting go of control in the classroom, and how productive messiness often leads to deeper learning. Kevin adds his own examples, reinforcing that guided inquiry transforms classrooms into vibrant, memorable learning spaces.

 

No, Not Nightly Recorded Lectures

4.5 minutes

Murray makes the case against online-only dual enrollment models that rely on recorded lectures. He insists that learning must remain face-to-face to preserve rigor and connection. The conversation turns to the politics of funding and the pressure to push students through college more quickly. Both Kevin and Murray stress that dual enrollment should not be about speed but about helping students grow and make informed choices about their futures.

 

Rigor, Range, & Real Talk

7 minutes

Kevin raises the skepticism some faculty hold toward dual enrollment. Murray responds by acknowledging the range of rigor but emphasizing that many high school programs are every bit as challenging—if not more so—than their college equivalents. He reflects on his path into dual enrollment, the importance of maintaining standards, and the need to respect teachers while navigating the politics of education.

 

Why It Matters: Heart, Head, & High School

7.5 minutes

Murray shares the personal side of his work, recalling visits to high schools and the deep respect he has for teachers and students alike. He explains how writing curriculum, providing tools, and supporting teachers keeps him motivated. The discussion highlights the passion, respect, and community at the heart of dual enrollment, even as financial pressures loom.

 

Money, Mission, & a Playbook for Best Practices

5 minutes

Looking to the future, Murray describes his vision for creating a best practices guide for dual enrollment in anatomy and physiology. He underscores the importance of focusing on core concepts, guided inquiry, and cooperative learning while moving away from passive slide-based teaching. Kevin and Murray agree that active learning consistently outperforms lecture-heavy approaches, especially in entry-level science courses.

Anatomy of Trust: Promoting Integrity in A&P Education | Winter Shorts | TAPP 14616 Jan 202400:40:03

Episode 146 of The A&P Professor podcast is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, we discuss the importance of academic integrity in the Anatomy & Physiology course. We emphasize the need to incorporate discussions about integrity in the syllabus and course materials and share real-life examples of violations in the healthcare field. We highlight how dishonesty can have serious consequences and discuss strategies for prevention, such as using multiple test versions and unique topics for papers/projects. Providing examples of acceptable practices and discouraging unethical behavior foster a culture of integrity. We invite listeners to contribute their own strategies for promoting academic integrity.

Guess what? this is one of our winter shorts! Yep, that's right, it's a shorter-than-usual episode in which I present one or two, or maybe three or four, classic, evergreen segments from previous episodes that are remastered, reconstituted, and recycled for your listening and learning pleasure. But mainly it's to give me a break for self-care over the holiday season. We'll be back to our regular programming in late January.

 

Academic Integrity in Anatomy & Physiology

28.5 minutes

One way to approach "the cheating issue" in our courses is to promote a culture of academic honesty from the start. But how do we do that? Kevin shares some practical tips you can use for a comprehensive approach to creating and maintaining a culture of professional and academic integrity in your A&P courses (or any courses, really). This segment was first heard in Episode 25.

Modeling Professional Integrity

9.5 minutes

Greg Crowther, whose song was featured in episode 25, calls in with an important point about modeling professional integrity for students: we should always cite the work of others. Yikes, look at the trouble that MIT and other elite universities are having right now! Whether we are using material legally is a separate issue. If we tell students they are plagiarizing if they don't cite others' works, then we are hypocrites if we don't model that behavior ourselves. This segment was first heard in Episode 26.

Kevin mentions some other benefits of consistently citing the work we use in our courses.

The Prerequisite Problem in the A&P Course | Episode 6127 Jan 202000:40:07

Host Kevin Patton discusses issues caused by our expectations of anatomy & physiology course prerequisites and answers the question: which prerequisites work best? Recent reports of a bone-marrow recipient with donor DNA in his semen prompts a brief review of what happened. Wi-Fi fields can produce biological effects. What are they and how does Wi-Fi produce them?

Bone Marrow Genome in Transplant Recipients

7 minutes

Recently, the case of a bone marrow transplant recipient made the rounds. Reports mentioned that his semen contained only DNA from his donor, with none of his own DNA, which sounds weird—and perhaps not really possible. We explore what really happened—and how we might use this story to teach A&P.

  • Thanks to Leslie Walker for the tip!

Wi-Fi forms an EMF (electromagnetic field) that can produce unwanted biological effects in  humans. In this segment, we explore them, as well as the proposed mechanism. That mechanisms is based on a core concept of physiology that we can leverage for showing students how "all that detail" can help them understand contemporary health issues.

Memorization has gotten a bad rap recently. Lots of students, and even some educators, say that being able to reason is more important than knowing facts; and besides, why bother committing things to memory when you've got Google? My response to this - after I've finished inwardly groaning - is that of course reasoning is important, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't know facts as well. It's not like you have to choose between one or the other. Besides, facts give you a foundation on which to reason about things. (Stefanie Weisman)

A recent blog post from learning scientist Pooja Agarwal about flashcards got me thinking about how underappreciated this powerful study tool is. So off we go on a multi-part series (spanning more than one episode) we could call "Flashcards Unleashed." In this segment, some basics:

  1. Language learning —There are 3,957 glossary entries in Kevin's 2-semester A&P textbook, but even trimming that down to 1,000 new terms, students have 35 new terms to master every week.
  2. Leitner System and PALS: Patton's Adaptation of the Leitner System

It is what we think we know already that often prevents us from learning. (Claude Bernard)

 

Timing of Vaccinations

2 minutes

With a new flu season upon us, vaccination is a timely topic. Recent research suggests that the time of day at which we receive our vaccination may influence it's effectiveness. At midday, CD8 T cells may respond more strongly than at other times of day.

  • Immune cells called T cells multiply after vaccination in the middle of the day. (journal news article) my-ap.us/2LOv2tN
  • The circadian clock of CD8 T cells modulates their early response to vaccination and the rhythmicity of related signaling pathways (journal research article) my-ap.us/2OkPGTY

Vaping

Vaping is a timely topic, considering the emergence of vaping-induced lung injury and other vaping-related conditions. Discussing the news about vaping, which is frequently updated, is appropriate in the A&P course. Following the story over the course of a year may helps students better understand human science.

3 | Summary of the Discovery

2 minutes

  • 2019-10-07: The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has today decided to award the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly to William G. Kaelin Jr., Sir Peter J. Ratcliffe, and Gregg L. Semenza for their discoveries of how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.
  • They identified molecular machinery that regulates the activity of genes in response to varying levels of oxygen.

 

4 | Oxygen at Center Stage

1 minute

During evolution, mechanisms developed to ensure a sufficient supply of oxygen to tissues and cells.

 

5 | HIF Enters the Scene

3 minutes

  • Gregg Semenza studied the EPO (erythropoietin) gene and how it is regulated by varying oxygen levels.
  • In cultured liver cells he discovered a protein complex that binds to the identified DNA segment in an oxygen-dependent manner. He called this complex the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF).
  • HIF was found to consist of two different DNA-binding proteins, so called transcription factors, now named HIF-1α and ARNT.

 

6 | Sponsored by AAA

0.5 minutes

 

 

7 | VHL - An Unexpected Partner

3 minutes

  • When oxygen levels are high, cells contain very little HIF-1α. However, when oxygen levels are low, the amount of HIF-1α increases so that it can bind to and thus regulate the EPO gene as well as other genes with HIF-binding DNA segments.
  • At about the same time as Semenza and Ratcliffe were exploring the regulation of the EPO gene, cancer researcher William Kaelin, Jr. was researching an inherited syndrome, von Hippel-Lindau's disease (VHL disease).
    • VHL is part of a complex that labels proteins with ubiquitin, marking them for degradation in the proteasome.
    • Ratcliffe and his research group then made a key discovery: demonstrating that VHL can physically interact with HIF-1α and is required for its degradation at normal oxygen levels. This conclusively linked VHL to HIF-1α.

When oxygen levels are low (hypoxia), HIF-1α is protected from degradation and accumulates in the nucleus, where it associates with ARNT and binds to specific DNA sequences (HRE) in hypoxia-regulated genes (1). At normal oxygen levels, HIF-1α is rapidly degraded by the proteasome (2). Oxygen regulates the degradation process by the addition of hydroxyl groups (OH) to HIF-1α (3). The VHL protein can then recognize and form a complex with HIF-1α leading to its degradation in an oxygen-dependent manner (4). https://my-ap.us/35fm0O6

 

8 | Oxygen sHIFts the Balance

1.5 minutes

  • It was also shown that the gene activating function of HIF-1α was regulated by oxygen-dependent hydroxylation.
  • The Nobel Laureates had now elucidated the oxygen sensing mechanism and had shown how it works.

 

9 | Oxygen Shapes Physiology & Pathology

2 minutes

  • Thanks to the groundbreaking work of these Nobel Laureates, we know much more about how different oxygen levels regulate fundamental physiological processes.
    • For example, muscles, blood vessel formation, immunity, RBC production, placenta development, etc.
  • Oxygen sensing is central to a large number of diseases.
    • For example, patients with chronic renal failure often suffer from severe anemia due to decreased EPO expression. See figure (if you cant's see it, go to https://my-ap.us/2LW2cIb)

The awarded mechanism for oxygen sensing has fundamental importance in physiology, for example for our metabolism, immune response and ability to adapt to exercise. Many pathological processes are also affected. Intensive efforts are ongoing to develop new drugs that can either inhibit or activate the oxygen-regulated machinery for treatment of anemia, cancer and other diseases. https://my-ap.us/2LW2cIb

5 | Activity & Heart Shape

Evolution has played a role in making human hearts similar to chimpanzee hearts. The left ventricle is thick-walled and short—best suited for shorter and perhaps intense bursts of activity. However, the heart is able to elongate and have a thinner wall to adapt to a lifestyle that features endurance activity.

  • Selection of endurance capabilities and the trade-off between pressure and volume in the evolution of the human heart (research article) my-ap.us/2AEbvpO
    • " the human (LV) evolved numerous features that help to augment stroke volume (SV), enabling moderate-intensity EPA. We also show that phenotypic plasticity of the human LV trades off pressure adaptations for volume capabilities, becoming more similar to a chimpanzee-like heart in response to physical inactivity or chronic pressure loading."

1 | Left-Handedness

2 minutes

A new report suggests that left-handedness, which one in ten of us exhibit, is partially influenced by genes. One effect of these genes is to change the structure of our body cells' cytoskeleton. Of course, a lot more work has to be done. By left-handers and right-handers alike.

We've all see various functional maps of the human brain. But once you get down to the smaller regions, or parcels, it gets weird. Beyond a certain resolution, things are very flexible. Because functions of tiny parcels vary with the state of that region of the brain in any given moment, we will probably not be able to produce a high-resolution functional map of the brain—even for any one individual.

Dissecting the Kenhub Atlas: Insights from Editor Mike Pascoe | TAPP 14414 Dec 202300:50:06

Mike Pascoe joins host Kevin Patton in Episode 144 to chat about Mike's experience in editing the new Kenhub Atlas of Human Anatomy. We go behind the scenes to see how this new kind of anatomy atlas was developed. Let's see how those decisions get made and how the learning perspective gets incorporated into anatomy manuals. And we explore diverse representation in anatomy images and why we won't find any eponyms in this atlas. We also have a brief remembrance of our friend David Allard.

A New Take on the Human Atlas

13 minutes

Editor Mike Pascoe describes his new Kenhub Atlas of Human Anatomy. First, we look at the relationship of the innovative, disruptive Kenhub website and this new print manual. Mike mentions how Kenhub often ranks high in web searches and how they aim to make their atlas concise and lead readers to a larger library of materials using QR code scanning. The convenience and accessibility of QR codes, easily scanned with smartphones, and the pocket-sized form factor of the atlas, making it easy to carry around in a lab setting.

2 | Old Gray Coat

8 minutes

You ever see me in my classic, reliable, sporty (really old) gray sport coat at a HAPS conference? If not, then maybe you haven't seen me at a HAPS conference within the last 20 or so years. Or any conference, for that matter. Having nearly lost it after the 2019 HAPS conference, I use my bad experience with a dry cleaner to more fully realize the importance of good customer-service skills when dealing with students.

4 | Brain Cell Comparisons

2 minutes

The current flurry of cellular and molecular research on brains is largely carried out in mice, with the assumption that it will inform us about human brains. Is that valid? How far does it go? Kevin cites a recent report that furthers our understanding of this comparison.

  • Conserved cell types with divergent features in human versus mouse cortex (journal article) my-ap.us/2ZtUptu

 

5 | T Cells Attack Brain Stem Cells

2.5 minutes

Yeah, another update on making new neurons in adult brains. This time, we find some evidence that "rogue" T cells may attack stem cells in the brain, specifically in the subventricular zone (SVZ), thus slowing the rate of making new neurons.

  • Rogue immune cells can infiltrate old brains: Killer T cells may dampen new nerve cell production in aged mice (summary article) my-ap.us/2LgPvWI
  • Single-cell analysis reveals T cell infiltration in old neurogenic niches (journal article) my-ap.us/2Ljx4Rd

3 | The Silent Teacher—A Conversation with Aaron Fried

25 minutes

Aaron Fried, A&P faculty at Mohawk Valley Community College and national speaker on human body donation and anatomists in Nazi Germany, joins Kevin for a lively discussion of the value of "the silent teacher"—the human body donor—in teaching human structure. This chat touches on the value of respect and appreciation of human donors, proper implementation of human remains such as skeletons in A&P courses, and how that respect should extend to reproductions of human specimens.

This is the first of two conversations with Aaron Fried. The next episode (Episode 30) will delve more deeply into the anatomy illustrations produced by anatomists in Nazi Germany and the many ethical questions surrounding their continued use in anatomy labs around the world.

To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition. (John Dewey)

 

1 | Special Series of Episodes

4.5 minutes

This and the next few episodes will be super, spectacular, and special. So I'm calling them "specials" just like the grownups in the media world do.

These specials are single-topic-ish recasts of some of the major themes from the past 18 months of this podcast. A mix of old and new. But mostly, the classic stuff that we'll benefit from reviewing and reflecting upon.

The general topic of this special episode revolves a recurring theme of this podcast:

teaching as a form of storytelling

 

 

2 | Storytelling in the A&P Course

15 minutes

Kevin explains why he thinks storytelling is the heart of effective teaching, especially in the A&P course. He outlines the "storytelling persona"; making sure there is a beginning, middle, and end to our stories, applying storytelling to both lectures and the entire course, using drama, conflict and resolution, and other techniques.

 

3 | Teachers vs. Robots | AI in Teaching

2 minutes

Artificial intelligence (AI) is seen by some as the emerging technology to replace teachers. Really? How should we respond? In Episode 47, I suggest that developing the uniquely human (and humane) skills—such as storytelling—is our best strategy. This is a clip taken from the middle of that segment.

5 | Playfulness & Seriousness

14 minutes

Segment 1 explained Kevin's view that effective A&P teachers are good storytellers. This segment "continues the story" by discussing analogies. Analogies can be stories that help students understand complex concepts. Sometimes, they are most effective when they are playful, which helps engage students and makes the stories easy to remember. Kevin relates his use of "phosphorylation frogs" in a story that can be referred to every time ATP generation comes up in the course. What are the pros and cons of using analogies?

1 | Measles and Immune Amnesia

8.5 minutes

Measles (MV) is very contagious and can be deadly, even though some cases are mild to moderate. However, it can also "erase" some or all of our immune memory!

  • Measles and Immune Amnesia (article from American Society for Microbiology) my-ap.us/2F0Chew
  • Watch: The tricks that make measles so infectious (video you can use in your class) my-ap.us/2EWugar
  • Notes
    • In this segment, the necessary step of memory cells producing effector cells (that engage pathogens) in subsequent exposures to the "remembered" pathogen is glossed over for simplicity of discussion.
    • Presumably, the "live" attenuated MV used in vaccination triggers formation of memory cells against MV without causing the full-blown infection that impairs immune memory of other pathogens.

5 | The Wallenda Model of Homeostasis

26 minutes

Multiple models of homeostasis may be needed for students to fully understand the important core concept of homeostasis. Here, Kevin describes an analogy he uses—a person on a highwire. Listen to why he calls this model The Wallenda Model and find out how he uses it to better understand homeostasis.

    • The Wallendas are a family of highwire artists famous for very high/long "sky walks" and human pyramids on the wire
      • Karl Wallenda, the most famous of the clan, died from a fall off the wire during a sky walk
      • The famous 7-person pyramid was also marred by a tragic fall
    • NOTE: The balance pole is normally up to about 30 pounds or so. The 80-pound figure given in this episode would be unusually heavy.
    • Elements of The Wallenda Model
      • Variable: position of body
      • Set point: directly over the wire
      • Sensors: nerve receptors (eyes, inner ears, muscle stretch receptors, etc.)
      • Integrator: brain

The One Teaching Strategy That Will Fix Your Anatomy & Physiology Course | TAPP 14302 Nov 202300:52:08

In episode 143 of The A&P Professor podcast for anatomy and physiology faculty, host Kevin Patton uncovers the super-secret, single, ultimate teaching strategy you need to keep your course tuned up and effective. He also revisits the "out there" transducer model of the brain and suggests a connection with a recent discovery supporting quantum wave activity in brain cell microtubules. Yes, quantum waves in the microtubules. Kevin also clarifies and expands on those wacky "extra" courses he described in Episodes 140 and 141.

Quantum Activity in Brain Microtubules?

12.5 minutes

In a previous episode, Kevin introduced the "transducer model" of the brain, comparing it to a mobile phone accessing external servers. In this segment, he briefly explains the "Orch OR" theory that proposes consciousness occurs as quantum waves in the microtubules of brain neurons. Quantum properties such as superposition could explain how the brain works as a transducer. Recent investigation counters the argument that quantum waves would break down in the warm, wet microtubules.

Could There Be More Than One Strategy?

6 minutes

A&P instructors often wonder if their courses need a revamp. While no universal teaching strategy guarantees success, the art of teaching lies in choosing the right mix of time-tested and modern techniques.

There Really Is Only One Strategy

13 minutes

Addressing the quest for the single, ultimate course-fix strategy, the emphasis is on flexibility in continually trying new things to improve a course. From age-old techniques to fresh, experimental approaches, being open to all strategies is really that "one" key to teaching and student success. Uniformity demanded by rigid course templates or official, designated courses can be limiting to course and instructor improvement over time—and can be harmful (such as failing to nurture uncertainty tolerance).

1 | Right and Left, Oh My!

3.5 minutes

In Episode 43 (the previous full episode), I mistakenly swapped my "left" and "right" when describing situs inversus in a body donor from the 1800s. Oops. I corrected it later in the audio file, but the corrected audio may not play in all platforms.

This mistake does bring up how easy it is to get even the simple stuff wrong without realizing that's what's coming out of our mouth! Yikes.

3 | Semi-Identical Twins

6.5 minutes

Semi-identical twinning, where two sperm and one egg unite to form two offspring, both sharing 100% identical maternal genome but not sharing an identical paternal genome. Also called sesquizygotic twinning (a term not used in the podcast), there's more to it than Kevin could discuss here, so check out the resources:

  • Semi-identical twins 'identified for only the second time' (plain English summary) my-ap.us/2WLupnS

5 minutes

A simple, inexpensive accordion file folder can make recording of grades (exams, reports, assignments) easier, quicker, and more accurate.

NOTE: If you have the free TAPP APP installed on your iOS (Apple) device, Android device, or Kindle Fire, then you can access the BONUS video that demonstrates this technique.

 

6| Stickers? Really?

6.5 minutes

Yeah, kindergarten teachers put stickers on student papers to motivate them. But this minimalist form of "gamification" can help motivate college and university students, too. Try it! It's cheap and easy. If it doesn't motivate your students, at least it will make your course's culture a bit more fun and positive, right?

8 | How Our Students Address Us

17.5 minutes

A conversation with Mike Pascoe got me to thinking about different preferences we have for how we want our students to address us. Professor? Mr. or Ms.? Doctor? or just Kevin. As long as they don't call me late for dinner, eh?

There's more to this question than meets the eye (and ear)!

  • Some different takes on this:
    • Do You Make Them Call You 'Professor'? | Why I began to rethink my views on classroom decorum (opinion article) my-ap.us/2WQFYue
    • Doctor, Professor or 'Hey, You'? (opinon article)my-ap.us/2WMBFQD
  • Weigh in now (while it's still up) on Twitter: What do you prefer that your students call you?

3 | Fabella Bone

10 minutes

The fabella is a small, beanlike bone that may (or not) occur behind the knee joint. Recent evidence shows that it's showing up  more frequently in the population. Why?

  • Fabella prevalence rate increases over 150 years, and rates of other sesamoid bones remain constant: a systematic review (recent research article) my-ap.us/2WkRSMs
  • Sore knee? Maybe you have a fabella (plain English report from the BBC) my-ap.us/2Wmd6cN
  • Fabella x-radiograph (to use in your course) my-ap.us/2Wm6Di3

5 | Situs Inversus

16 minutes

Situs inversus is a mirrorlike flipping of visceral organs that occurs in embryonic development. Also called situs transversus or situs oppositus. Normal siting of organs is called situs solitus.

  • Situs inversus and my 'through the looking glass' body (recent article by someone living with situs inversus) my-ap.us/2WatPzP
  • Body donor's rare anatomy offers valuable lessons (press release on recent 99-year old donor with situs inversus with levocardia) my-ap.us/2Wf5MzO
  • Heart Transplantation in Situs Inversus Maintaining Dextrocardia (interesting study of transplanting 'normal' hearts into patients with dextrocardia) my-ap.us/2WmbTlL

ERROR: In my discussion of the cast of situs inversus in the young man from the 1800s, I mixed up my left and right. Yikes. The appendix is on the right in situs solitus, but on the left in situs inversus. This was corrected in the audio file on 10 May 2019, but the correction may not be heard in all available platforms.

7 | Variety of Anatomic Variations

5 minutes

Perhaps variation is normal. And maybe "normal" is a mythical, but useful, construct we use in understanding human anatomy.

  • Brief list of some human anatomical variations my-ap.us/2WrAC8q
  • Online atlas of anatomy variations AandP.info/AnatomyAtlasVariations
  • How do we handle anatomic variations (vs. "normal") in our A&P course?
    • I'm thinking there isn't a best way. I'm thinking it's largely up to us as artists to decide what works best.
      • Remember, in my world, teaching is both and art and a science. We are, among other things, artist of telling stories. Stories about the human body.
      • So I think we need to really think about, play with, experiment with, different ways of telling our story of human anatomy so that at some point it's clear that we don't all look like the idealized sketches in our books and models on the lab bench. Or even all the elderly cadavers in our dissection lab.
      • Perhaps we can begin by being clear and intentional about pointing out differences arising from development and aging, from the effects of sex hormones, from environmental influences, from the range of possible human activities (or lack of activity), then bring in all those variations in genetic code and variations in how embryological events  unfold, or maybe I should say fold.
    • I think in the end, the best story of human anatomy is a story of the awesome and beautiful balance of both unity and variety in the human form.

5 | Eponyms Again!

16.5 minutes

After recalling that in the previous episode, Kevin forgot that when discussing Broca's massive sideburns, he could have mentioned that the term "sideburn" is itself an eponym. Then Mike Pascoe calls in with a tip and triggers additional conversation about how to handle eponyms in our teaching.

7 | Personal Names and Pronouns

4 minutes

Learning, using, and properly pronouncing students names is worth the effort to connect with learners personally and build mutual trust and respect. Likewise, introducing our own preferred gender pronouns opens the door for including the personal pronoun preference of student (should that be important to them) and can help connect with our students in ways that improve the learning environment.

Muscles are in a most intimate and peculiar sense the organs of the will. They have built all the roads, cities and machines in the world, written all the books, spoken all the words, and, in fact done everything that man has accomplished with matter. Character might be in a sense defined as a plexus of motor habits. (G. Stanley Hall)

  3 | Modern Use of Eponyms

9.5 minutes

Eponyms are going out of fashion. For some very good reasons. When we do use them, there are some common practices that A&P teachers should pay attention to.

  • This segment features Seven Fashion Tips for Stylish Use of Eponyms
    • Avoid eponyms
    • Be bilingual
    • If you have to use an eponym, do
    • Fashionable non-possessive forms
    • Back-door eponym styles (non-capitalized adjectives)

7 | How to Deal with Eponyms in Our A&P Course

3.5 minutes

Eponyms may be best left behind, but sometimes we can't avoid them. How do we emphasize the pitfalls of eponym use with students who will certainly face the lingering use of them in professional settings? Perhaps the best approach is bilingualism (descriptive terms AND eponyms).

  3 | Liver Anticipates Food

2 minutes

We know that digestive organs respond to anticipation of food—as if food really is going to be ingested and swallowed. New research suggests that the sight of a donut (for example) can get our hepatic cells to start revving up for the storage and processing of nutrients during the absorptive state.

5 | What Do We Really Know About Exercise, Diet, Metabolism, & Body Weight?

8 minutes

The science of exercise, diet, metabolism, and body weight—and what is healthy and what is not—is far from being worked out. Sometimes, the simplest principles that we believe to be true, aren't really. A of research seems to conflict, which means we have much more work to do, eh?

7 | Featured: Language of Muscles: A Strategy for Learning

17 minutes

Learning the major muscles of the body can be intimidating for students. But if they understand from the start that those unusual names are more than a tongue-twisting combination of syllables—that they actually have meaning—they can use muscle names as mnemonic aids to learning. Muscle names can help students remember muscles by reminding them of the muscle's location, function, shape, size, and/or other characteristics.
