Directions: You are to use this sheet to both copy screen shots to and to fill out the tables. Therefore you must SAVE it to your folder. Name it with your name, the unit, and hour (example: TLeiderGenTermHr5). You will email me your finished corrective sheet at
Complete the following self tests from the University of Mn website: Answer online and check your work! Place screen shots (showing your score) from your finished quizzes and place in your document.
#4 is palmar and #10 is otic
#6 is pedal
#1 is stratum corneum, #4 is arteriole, #5 is venule, #6 is motor nerve, #7 sensory nerve
These are from the Quiz bowl section of the same website. It’s trickier to get screen shots here so just jot down your score (there is a little score button on the far left that you click when you are done!)
Case Study:
Go to the NationalCenter for Case Study Teaching in Science site and read the following case study that was based on a melanoma:
There are lots of questions to answer and you may have to use your research skills to find additional info. I cut out questions that I didn’t need you to answer so don’t be alarmed when the numbers on this sheet do not correspond to the ones online. I challenge you to try to answer as many as you can without “googling” yourself silly. Case studies (as I use them) are about the process of diagnosis not the actual diagnosis. (Go ahead and type in your responses right after the question…that’s the beauty of word docs!)
Study Questions
1. Define in your own words each of the four terms displayed in boldface.
2. List and briefly describe the stages of cancer.
3. List the risk factors for melanoma.
4. What are the possible treatments for cancer? How do those treatments kill cancer cells? Which
work well for melanoma?
5. Given what you now know about melanoma, what do you think Bill should do?
You must make a decision; no waffling. Write at least 1/2 page (typed) exploring Bill’s options and explaining your reasons for deciding on a treatment. Make sure to explain why you arrived at your decision by discussing the treatment options available. Include a list of sources you consulted.
Now that you know what course of treatment Bill chose and how it turned out, using the Internet, your textbook, or any other source you wish, answer the question: Now what?
Given what you now know about melanoma, what do you think Bill should do? What were his options?
Did he have any? His case took place in the late 1980s. Would other options be available to him today?
If he were diagnosed today, what should he do?
Make sure you read the conclusion of this case so you can see how it all turned out!
