UNIT 1
1.1.2 Directional terms describe the position of anatomical structures in relation to other structures or locations in the body and regional terms specify specific anatomical landmarks on the body.
Students review on own.
1.2.1 A tissue is a group of similar cells designed to carry out a specific function.
What are four main tissue types and how does structure lead to function?
How does the structure of epithelial tissue lend this form of tissue to its function?
What is the tissue type with the nonliving material around the living cells? What is the nonliving material called?
What does muscle tissue have the ability to do that other tissue types do not? What are the three types of muscle tissues? How do the structures and functions of the three types of tissues vary?
1.2.3 The specific structure of bone reveals information about a person’s gender, stature, age and ethnicity.
What type of tissue is bone classified as? What primary function of this tissue type pertains to bone?
Why do you think the pelvis is often the first bone forensic anthropologists look to in determining sex from skeletal remains?
The developmental occurrences you used to determine age stopped at age 25. What are other clues a forensic anthropologist may be able to use to determine age if the bones belong to a person over age 25?
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative data/evidence? What purpose does each form of data play in establishing identity?
What key bones would forensic anthropologists use to establish a probable ethnic background? What skeletal features of this bone are key to identifying ethnicity?
Which type of bone and what are the specific bones that are best for height/stature determination? Why is it best to have two or more bones for height calculations?
1.3.1 Restriction enzymes recognize and cut specific sequences in DNA.
Gel electrophoresis separates DNA fragments based on size and is used in Restriction
