B vs CSame name, same rules!

Both levels have three systems this year:CardiovascularIntegumentary ImmuneB is A & P this year – significance?

Student roles:Two specialists or two generalists?

What is the other one doing on a stations test?

TopicsDo not ignore bulleted subtopics! Left alone, kids will focus almost exclusively on labelingDiseases are most often overlooked

Both levels:Burns, allergies, infections, skin cancer; immunodeficiency, autoimmune disorders, hypersensitivities; arythmias, infarcts, heart failure, atherosclerosisNote the “i.e.”s – the author probably will!

Preparing the notesheet

Preparing students is more importantA good notesheet is necessary for a medal

What goes on the notesheet?Diagrams with labels: system, organs, tissuesVocabulary – specific and general termsDisease infoDrug effectsTraining handout from soinc.org is awesome

Systems

Integumentary seems small, so might be surprising Good picture on notesheetHigh level of detail on training handout – layers,

receptors, hair growth Immune has no obvious diagrams – more room for

charts (e.g., immunoglobulins)Cardiovascular will most likely be at least 1/3, and

possibly much more

Prepare for contingenciesMay be test or stationsProbably color pictures; may be models, especially

at StateMay (should) be quite long. There is a lot of

content No time to consult notesheet for every question

Bring calculators! Equations will likely include stroke volume, cardiac

output, mean arterial pressure
