Study Plan for the Entrance Quiz #7

For the next entrance quiz you need to be familiar with all the concepts we discussed today in the lab (described in the Lab Guide, Lab #8) plus the five (*). Also, for your own benefit, prepare a table listing all the muscles you need to know + their action + the origin and insert for the selected muscles (as marked in your lab guide for the Lab #9 and Lab #8). It will make studying much easier! 


Here's my suggestion for how you could divide the study material between different days of the week:

Tuesday            –  Knee Joint + Actions of Muscles on Joints

Wednesday      –  Joints (Classification + Examples)

Thursday         –  Muscles of Head and Neck

Friday               –  Muscles of Thorax, Abdominal Wall, and Pectoral Girdle 

Saturday          –  Review what you learned on Tuesday and Wednesday, Make a Table with Muscles for the Lab #9

Sunday             –  Review what you learned on Thursday and Friday

Monday            –  Come to the lab and ask questions at the Open Lab Review 

Remember that it's better to study 30-60 minutes 5-6 times a week than to try to learn all the material the day before the quiz!
