Anatomy and physiology 2

Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to help you organize the information that you have learned and to enable you to articulate it in a logical, organized and succinct manner. Some degree of repetition will be involved in this assignment, but this is truly the way concepts of anatomy and physiology are committed to memory.

Your SLPs for this course will be a series of PowerPoint presentations. Each presentation will include speaker notes. Before we get into the specifics of the assignment, let us review formatting issues, scholarly content and speaker notes:

Format

The power point presentation should be attractive, balanced and flow logically.

The following site will help you with your PowerPoint presentation: http://www.onppt.com/ppt/article1032.html

Scholarly Content

Since the presentation will include information that you are obtaining from other areas, you will need to include appropriate references. References used in the power point presentation should be cited using APA format, and a comprehensive reference list should appear on the final slide(s).

Speaker notes

What are speaker notes?

As you recall, the PowerPoint slides should only give your audience some “key” points about the topic. You should not try to “cram” your slides full of information as this makes your slides appear sloppy and too “busy”. Speaker notes can help the presenter remember everything that he or she wants to say about a particular slide.

How do I make speaker notes?

Follow these simple steps to add speaker notes to your PowerPoint presentation:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation

2. Go to the “View” menu and select the “Notes” page.

3. The notes page will be small, so you will have to go to the “View” menu again and select “Zoom” in order to make them bigger. Select the percentage of zoom that you want (the higher the percentage, the larger the page will become).

4. Click inside the notes page and begin typing your speaker notes.

5. Continue doing this on each slide until your speaker notes are written.

Once you have finished writing your speaker notes, save your presentation & it is ready to be graded!

NOW that you know what your presentation should look like, let us turn our attention to what it should contain…

THEME of your SLP: Teaching your first Anatomy & Physiology course!

As a continuing of the SLP from your first Anatomy & Physiology course, you will continue by teaching anatomy and physiology course for a local vocational nursing school. In order to do this, you are going to need to prepare a PowerPoint presentation that will be used in your lectures.

In this first SLP, you will prepare a presentation in which you provide your audience with information on the following areas:

1. Define blood pressure and how it is measured.

2. Explain how the chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors work to regulate heart rate by regulating blood flow, blood pressure and blood oxygen level. Where are these receptors located and to which division of the nervous system do they send and receive messages?

Note: The assignment will require you to engage in independent research on baroreceptors (mechanoreceptors) and the carotid and aortic bodies (chemoreceptors).

SLP Assignment Expectations

Number of Slides: 15

Content of Slides: Your presentation should address each of the areas listed above.

Speaker Notes

Each slide will contain speaker notes sufficient to tell me what the purpose of each slide is—specifically, what you would say to a live audience that you were presenting your program to.
