Study Help -- Flash cards While trying to keep abreast of stuff this summer, I found a great website that is really helping me study. Flashcarddb is a website that allows you to create flashcards online, and you can even share with other people (or choose to make your cards private, too). One cool thing about the site is that it uses the Leitner System to help you study.
I haven't been using the online flashcards for long, so I'm not sure how much spaced repetition will actually help me, but it seems like it should.
If you are interested, here is a link to the cards I have already created. I'm trying to remember to tag all the cards I create with 'nursing' to make them easier for other people to find. Let me know what you think!

anthropomorphics and sociopathy I've noticed that artists who wrangle the human body in a violent way in their art, tend to be sociopaths. That is only a curious observation that I've made because I study sociopathy and some of the sociopaths whose blogs I've read (they acknowledge they are socios) incorporate their artwork.
So, has anyone else ever made this connection, however momentary?

im doing a bachelor of kinesiology at memorial university of newfoundland... i got a 55 in my exercise physiology course and i need to bump it up to at least a 60 with a rewrite at the end of the week.
the course was brutal. our prof even gave us the questions that will be on the final but i still cant for the life of me figure out some of the answers even with the book and my notes and the internet in front of me. so frustrating. so i was wondering if anyone could give me a little help on a few questions?
right now im stuck on:
"explain how the ventilation perfusion ratio nullifies any significant need for training adaptations under normal conditions. Are there any types of training that might cause respiratory adaptations. what kind of changes might occur?"
if i run into more, i'll update.
thanks so much!!

am basically out of luck for this semester! My plan thus far is to contine with Anatomy and Physiology 1...take the F which I am going to get in the course and take the time I would be killing myself for that class to up my other grades which are not that great because of all the time spent on A&P. It is odd...I have no idea why this course is giving me such a hard time seeing as I enjoy and slightly understand the material...
*Old Testament-F (can easily be brought up)
*Written Comp.:C
*Psychology:B
*Anatomy & Physiology and Lab:F
and the other random class I have already passed 3 hours out of the way *dances*
I am not going to stress A&P1...I think my best bet is to spend my time studying the other classes I am having issues with, take the F and take it again when I am ready to.
...Is this a bad plan...why do I feel like this is a bad plan *headdesk* Do any of y'all think I am doing the wrong thing here?

looking for some advice... hello ladies and gentlemen..
im a third year nursing student...my college has a program called supplemental instruction(not sure if anyone here has that at their school/is familar with it, but it is basically a peer tutoring type program that tackles common difficult courses like A&P, chemistry, economics, etc where tutoring Q&A sessions are held by students who got a high mark in that particular course. I received an A in A&P I, and so I will be the Supplemental Instruction Leader for A&P I at my college this coming semester.)
so, what i'm wondering is, if you had the chance to attend peer-led study sessions, what would have helped you? my job is not to re-lecture the notes that the professor gave (i do attend their class so that i am on the same page with what the prof is covering) but to answer questions, try to explain concepts in a different way, offer study tips, etc. i used flashcards, outlining the chapters and study guide work to help me through A&P I, but what else worked for other people? any strategies or tips that worked for you would be helpful so that i can build up a bank of ideas/options to offer if my way doesnt work for others.

Hello everybody, my name's Chris. I'm a huge A&P fan near Detroit, MI. Just finished week number 5 of 7 in my A&P II class with a fascinating lecture on the digestive system and enteroendocrine cells.
Glad to see there is such an interest in one of my favorite subjects.
I'm looking forward to discussions! :)

devine ass wooping i decided to upgrade my A&P mark by taking a 2 month summer course (1 year condensed into 8 weeks). it sounded like a sure thing and i've been studying so much everyday. i thought i was doing so well. i'm really understanding the concepts this time round. Today we had a surprize quiz and i only managed to get 68%. i'm so depressed. i'm working as much as my body can handle. on a good day i study 7 hours or more on top of class time and on a poor day 1 or 2 hours. we have class for 2 hours monday to friday and lab for 2.5 hours 3 times a week. i study till the point of exhaustion and then i need a day or two to build up the energy to keep going. i don't know what i'm going to do. if i don't get a good mark in this class i'm seriously going to have a breakdown. i want an A so badly. i'm working so hard but it seems that i'm just stupid.

What careers are there in Anatomy. I am currently enrolled in a massage program. It's too easy. I ace every test and love the anatomy side of the work. Yes, we do a lot of it. It's not all massage. I am also interested in the nervous system and anything intangible. Any advice? Possible careers? Where to look for myself. Internet searches pull up too much miscellaneous info.

The rapid depolarization seen in an action potential is caused by a positive feedback loop, in which depolarization causes the opening of voltage gated sodium channels, which causes more depolarization, which opens more soduim channels and so on. If this were allowed to continue whitout stopping, what level would the voltage reach?
my answer: From the resting membrane potential (-70mV) to the sodium permiability (+30mV), the total change is 100mV. but With permeability to sodium now greater to potassium, the membrane potential approaches the sodium equilibrium of +60mV. So the highest it can go is 60mV. It can't go any furthur because that is the most sodium that can be released into the intracellular fluid.

There's an exibit going around the country called "Body Worlds 2" if you all like the dead body thing, I would recommend go because my mom's said a lot of doctors have gone and liked it. I wanna go, just haven't made time for it. I figured I would let you all know to look for it coming to a town near you! ^_^ They're basically dead bodies that have been disected to show how detailed our bodies really are and to teach people some anatomy. Here's the website:

I think it's D, am I right???? You have three neurons, A, B, and C. The axon from cell A forms a synapse with cell B, and releases a neurotransmitter which cuses an inhibitory potential in B. Cell C has a synapse onto the azon terminal of cell A, and releases an inhibitory neurotransmitter onto that terminal.
If cell A and cell C both send action potentials down their axons at the same time, what will happen in cell B?
a) It will be excited, but not enought to trigger an action potential.
b) It will be inhibited, and not fire an action potential even if stimulated
c) It will be neither excited nor inhibted.
d) It will be excited, nd experience an action potential.

physiology.. i need help please 1. At what stage is oxygen actually conusemed?
a. Glycolysis
b. The linking step
c.The krebs cycle
d.Oxidative phosphorylation
(I'm not tơo sure about this, but isn't it b, aerobic respiration allow it to go to the krebs cycle)
2.CROSSING MEMBRANES (i really nêêd help here!!!)
You set up an experiment in which you have two containers of water which are separated by a changeable membrane. You start with a membrane which allows water through, but nothing else. On the left side, you dissolve enough sodium chloride to make a 10mM solution (remember, sodium chloride dissolves into Na+ and Cl- ions in water). a.After one day, what will the concentration of sodium ions on the right side be?
Now assume that you restart the experiment, and you once again make a 10 mM solution of sodium chloride in the left side. However, this time you use a membrane which is permeable to water and chloride ions, but not sodium. b.Will you observe net osmosis? If so, in which direction will the water move?
Now take the two chamber setup, but make a 10mM concentration of sodium chloride on the left side and 10mM solution of potassium chloride (which breaks up into K+ an Cl- ions) on the right. Your membrane is permeable to water and chloride, but not sodium or potassium. c. will you observe net osmosis? If so, in which direction will the water travel?

questions Can you guys help me withe these questions! is physilogy concepts, that i'm having trouble with from my book.
In the operation of neurons, membrane voltage is normally kept at -85 millivolts. A slight decrease (closer to zero) in voltage causes sodium channels to open. The opening of the channels causes the voltage to decrease more, which in turn cause more sodium channels to open, and so on. This continues until the voltage reaches about +30 millivolts, at which time potassium channels open, which causes the voltage to return to -85 millivolts.
1. which part represents negative feedback?
a. the opening of sodium channels
b.the openning of potassium channels?
2.Which part represent positive feedback?
a.the opening of suduim channels
b.the opening of potassium channels
3.What is the setpoint for the membrane voltage?
a. -85mV
b.+30mV
c.0mV
d.-55mV
4. ATP in cells allows many reactions to proceed which would not normally happen by providing energy in the process of being hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Is ATP acting as an enzyme when it does so? Explain.

GI tract question I am trying to find out about the size and funtion of the terminal ileum.
The only data I could find stated that the terminal ileum is about 91cm but this contradicts something else I have read that states that someone could lose more than 100cm of their terminal ileum in surgery! Has anyone got a good source of data showing the lengths of different sections of the digestive tract?
Thanks in advance.
