Goal

We do not currently have any muscular models of the human body to utilize during Anatomy & Physiology. I am consistently trying to have the students imagine the presence of muscles ligaments and tendons when discussing the actions of the body.  

 

What will be done with my students

This model will be used for teaching purposes and also as a secondary skeleton (to the one basic plastic skeleton we currently have) for assessment purposes. The following FLDOE benchmarks are addressed:
SC.912.L.14.11 Classify and state the defining characteristics of epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue.
SC.912.L.14.12 Describe the anatomy and histology of bone tissue.
SC 912.L.14.13 Distinguish between bones of the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton.SC.912.L.14.16 Describe the anatomy and histology, including ultrastructure, of muscle tissue.
SC.912.L.14.17 List the steps involved in the sliding filament of muscle contraction.
SC.912.L.14.20 Identify the major muscles of the human on a model or diagram.
SC.912.L.14.23 Identify the parts of a reflex arc.
SC.912.L.14.25 Identify the major parts of a cross section through the spinal cord. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students have a more realistic and actionable model to visualize movement, protection, reaction and comprehensive knowledge of muscular skeleton functions. 

 

Budget Narrative

We require muscular skeletons for anatomical and physiological demonstrations and assessment use.
