Module 5 Discussion: Discuss and Debate
Overview
After exploring the content for this module, you should be ready to
discuss the topics at a deeper level with your classmates.
Parasympathetic and sympathetic activation are two competing
effectors of the autonomic nervous system. Many organs have dual
innervation, allowing changes in a split second through chemical
messengers. Your task is to discuss how the autonomic nervous system
responds to changes in homeostasis and provide a comparison between
autonomic and somatic nerves.
Instructions
1. You are making your way to your car when suddenly your overly
friendly neighbor pops out from behind a bush and yells
“Surprise!” Focusing on one organ with dual innervation, prepare a
written post with at least 380 words answering the following
bullet points:
A. What physiological events are happening in your chosen
organ as you are going about your normal morning routine?
B. How does being frightened by your neighbor alter the
biological processes in your chosen organ? Be sure to
include chemical messengers involved in inducing this
change in physiological state.
C. How do the two branches of the autonomic nervous system
maintain homeostasis in your chosen organ?
D. Provide a brief comparison between autonomic and somatic
peripheral nerve action.
Note!!!!!!All references must be cited using APA Style
format.
Part 2
Module 5 Project Assignment: My System Analysis Final
Presentation
Instructions
Overview
As future medical professionals you have to really, truly know the
anatomy and physiology of the organs. Some of you will become
specialists in a particular system. Which system that we have covered in
this course is most interesting to you: the integumentary, skeletal,
muscular, or nervous system? You are going to become an expert
on one of the organs in one of these systems. Then you will provide a
presentation for this course that you could give to someone who does
not know anything about the organ or the system. The
presentation should be professional and demonstrate your expertise.
In Module 4 you will propose your system and organ. You should spend
approximately 2 hours on planning your project. When your topic is
approved, you may start your research.
In Module 5 you will conduct the research for your project and prepare
the presentation.
Instructions
Project Proposal (Module 4)
1. Choose the system that most interests you: integumentary,
skeletal, muscular, or nervous system.
2. From this system, choose an anatomical structure on which you
wish to become an expert. You will present on this system to a
(hypothetical) student who is entering BIO 2101 and does not
know anything about the system.
3. Decide the format of your presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, Prezi, or
a presentation software with which you are familiar).
4. Submit your project proposal to the Module 4 Project Assignment:
My System Analysis Project Planning assignment folder.
Project Presentation (Module 5)
1. Create a presentation on your chosen system that includes the
following:
o Name of the system
o Anatomical location: Use directional terms to describe the
location such as superior to, inferior to, anterior, etc.
o Anatomical description: Include only the anatomical
description; do not include any function or microscopic
description.
o Types of cells and tissues present in the organ: Just include a
microscopic description; do not include anything else.
o Functions of the organ: This is to describe the physiology. Do
not discuss any anatomical description.
o Homeostasis: Discuss how the organ you have chosen
responds to maintain homeostasis in the body.
o Prediction: Predict the types of problems that would occur in
this organ if it could not maintain homeostasis.
o Disease: Mention a specific disease that affects the organ,
and describe the anatomical and functional changes that
occur in that organ.
o There is no research paper to do as part of your final
presentation (you will still have your Module 5 Research and
Report assignment due. At the end of the semester, you will
submit your PowerPoint (or other presentation) along with
descriptive content. The descriptive content could be an
audio included in the PowerPoint, a video presentation in
which you describe your slides, or a supplemental script or
notes pages for each slide. The reasoning is that if you were
doing a presentation to an audience, you wouldn’t put all of
o
your content in bullet points on the slide. The bullet points
would highlight the important parts, and you would verbally
elaborate in your presentation.
References: Provide at least five references using APA Style.
Presentation formatting tips
•
•
•
Each slide should have a title (example: “Anatomical location of…”)
Provide no fewer than 15 slides in your presentation, not
including the reference page(s) in the page count.
Your presentation should include enough detail that someone
who is viewing the presentation could learn the system.
o Use bullets to highlight the main points in your presentation
slides. Keep in mind that this is a visual presentation that
should be legible to the audience. Thus, use the proper font
size, and do not overcrowd your slides with too many
sentences.
o Where do I put the details? If you are using PowerPoint, you
can create an audio presentation or add content details
in the Notes section (PowerPoint Audio Voice Over
instructions). If you do not use PowerPoint, you can add
details using video or an additional notes page.
Explore Microsoft Office for information related to creating
notes page.
(A reminder of what was done in Project Proposal M4
Project Assignment)
Nervous system
The presentation is designed to inspire a student who is entering BIO 2101 and knows
nothing about the nervous system. At the end of the presentation, the student will gain a solid
understanding of the nervous system and will be able to appreciate its vital functions and
relevance to human health and behavior. The presentation will be designed in the following
outline/format.
I. Introduction
The nervous system refers to a complex network of specialized cells, organs, and tissues
that work together to regulate and control the body’s functions, divided into CNS and PNS.
II. Portions of nervous system
•
CNS
•
PNS
III. The Central Nervous System:
•
Describe its components
•
Function and features of the spinal cord and brain
Iv. The Peripheral Nervous System:
•
Nerves
•
Ganglia
V. How Nerve Signals Work
•
Resting membrane potential
•
Action potential
•
Synaptic transmission
VI. Disorders of the Nervous System
•
Neurological disorders
•
Neuropsychiatric disorders
VII. Conclusion
•
Summary explaining important information about the nervous system
•
Significance of nervous system
