anatomy 1 summary of elluminate

Kia ora
all

last nights Anatomy 1 Elluminate albeit unwieldy held a lot of key information for you anatomists...

The link will take you through to the recording - http://elluminate.tekotago.ac.nz/play_recording.html?recordingId=1252293707176_1252304292496

I want you to focus on not so much the terminology but the importance of using it and seeing the way your own muscles move around -
so the next step is to take each muscle one by one and find out (by pressing squeezing moving it) where it starts where it ends and what movement it is doing. The notes that I have emailed you will help.

Kindest and let me know if you want another session next Monday

A1 Notes from Tue 17 March

Hi,

I have emailed you all copies of the powerpoint from last week... if you have not received them, could you please email me with your current email address so that I can forward you the notes!

Thanks :-)

Which origins and insertions are the ones I should be studying???

Aloha to you all !

You may have noticed that the origins and insertions in your textbooks vary slightly from book to book. There have been a few questions regarding origins and insertions... and which ones you should learn... so I thought I would clarify ...

The origins and insertions that you have been given (in your class handout notes) are the ones that I would like you to learn. You will find over the course of your study that the origins and insertions vary between textbooks. The reason for this is origins and insertions are based on an 'average' of what is found in the human body. You will also find as you start being able to palpate the body more specifically that what you find in practical terms in the body can be slightly different to what you learn. It is a fantastic idea and study tool to be checking out other resources but please learn the standard class handout notes that you have been given, so that all students can be on the same page and we have a standard to assess you from :-)

Happy studying!

Here comes ANATOMY!

Hi everyone :-)

Just thought I would add a quick post to let you know a few things for the first Anatomy class.

In each Anatomy class we will be learning hands on practical Anatomy skills that you will later be able to apply to your practical massage learning.
Could you please make sure you bring to class the following:

• 'Atlas of Anatomy' book
• sheet and towels

Looking forward to beginning this wonderful Anatomy journey with you all!

Getting Started with Anatomy

Your task for the week ahead is to choose two muscles a day to commit to memory.

Memorise them using Flashcards.
You need to memorise the following for each muscle

• Name
• Location
• Origin(s) & Insertion(s)
• Actions

Have fun. :-)
