The Unit Plan

Make teaching Anatomy & Physiology easy with this combined unit and daily lesson plan that covers 2-3 weeks (depending on the number of labs you choose to do) of a secondary A & P course. SIOP, gifted, and differentiation strategies are embedded and easily identified throuought. Lessons are differnetiated accoding to learning style, grouping, and language ability. Both content and literacy standards as well as key vocabulary words, essential questions, activating strategies, instructional strategies, and summarizing strategies are included and highlighted. Video links are provided! (Please note that video links are active but may requires access to United Streaming and/or that you be logged into your google account)

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

Content Standards:

SAP2: Students will analyze the interdependence of the integumentary, skeletal, and muscular systems as these relate the protection, support and movement of the human body.

• Explain how the skeletal structures provide support and protection for tissues, and function together with the muscular system to make movements possible.

SCSh2. Students will use standard safety practices for all classroom laboratory investigations and activities.

• Follow correct procedures for use of scientific apparatus and demonstrate appropriate technique in all laboratory situations.
• Follow correct protocol for identifying and reporting safety problems and violations.

Literacy Standards:

• L11-12RST2: Determine the central ideas of conclusions of a text; summarize complex concepts, processes, or information presented in a text by paragraphing them in simpler but still accurate terms.
• L11-12RST3: Follow precisely a complex multistep procedure when carrying out experiments…

Content Objectives (TSWBAT):

1. Describe the structure and function of the three types of muscle tissue and indicate where they are located in the body.
2. Define muscular system, explain the role of each of the following: endomysium, perimysium, epimysium, tendon, and aponeurosis.
3. Describe the microscopic structure of skeletal muscle and explain the role of actin-myosin myofilaments.
4. Describe how an action potential is initiated and its role in muscle contraction.
5. Describe the events of muscle contraction.
6. Define, compare, and analyze graded responses of skeletal muscle tissue and explain how the terms tetanus, isotonic, isometric contractions and muscle tone apply to skeletal muscle.
7. Define oxygen deficit and muscle fatigue, and list possible causes of muscle fatigue.
8. Describe the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on skeletal muscles and other body organs.
9. Describe three pathways for ATP production.
10. Define origin, insertion, prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator as they relate to muscles and demonstrate different types of body movements.
11. List seven criteria used in naming muscles.
12. Name and locate the major muscles of the human body.
13. Describe common exercises and stretches that target major muscles of the body.
14. Describe changes that occur in aging muscles and lifestyle behaviors that address these changes.
15. Identify risk factors, treatments, and preventive measures of common muscle disorders and injuries.

Language Objectives:

1. Discuss and illustrate the process of neuromuscular contraction.
2. Read clinical case studies of homeostatic imbalances of the muscular system.
3. Write, discuss, and use key vocabulary appropriately.
