Hello everyone,
I hope you are all going OK with Unit 1: The Cell, and are thinking of getting onto the second unit on the nervous system before the end of the week both because it is such a large unit and also because that is what we will be focussing on at the practical at the block course on Friday. If I tell you you will be dissecting pigs' heads will that encourage you to come along or will it put you off? I hope the former as they are usually really good for showing the brain structure, the meninges and cranial nerves--and they are not smelly or bloody! We will also be looking at a model of a neuron and another of the human brain.
It would be great if you have at least read through the 3 lots of Nervous System notes on Blackboard and even bring along a copy of the printable version to the practical as that would be very helpful for you.
For those that didn't make it to the tutorial last Thursday, I have put up 2 Powerpoint presentations on the cell on Blackboard. One is on passsage of molecules across the plasma membrane as I know that is the hardest part of the cell unit. Although there is not much there that isn't in the notes, it is laid out nice and clearly and you may find it a good summary of the facts.
Looking forward to seeing you on Friday at 9am in H412,
Cheers Ruth
