Welcome to 10th grade Anatomy & Physiology Class! = = =We're currently studying and investigating the Muscular System! =

7.) Identify major muscles, including origins, insertions, and actions.
====• Describing common types of body movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction ==== ====• Classifying muscles based on functions in the body, including prime movers, antagonists, synergists, and fixators ====

• Comparing skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscles based on their microscopic anatomy
====• Identifying diseases and disorders of the muscular system/ Examples: muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, strain ====

=Muscular System Group ASSIGNMENTS:=

OBJECTIVE:
==This wiki will help students learn the functions of the muscular system, classify and identify muscles, and identify types body movements, in accordance with AL COS objective 7; CCR 3,4,5,7,9; and CCW 2, 4, 6, 8, 9. ==

==1. Disease and Disorders - Click on the link to navigate to the page, choose a topic, post your choice on the discussion thread, conduct research and create a wiki page to add to this wiki (submit the url for the page as a comment under your post where you chose your topic). Follow all directions posted on the Disease and Disorder page.==

==2. Identifying and Classifying Muscles - Go to the following website Muscular Labeling a and play "The Muscular System" labeling games a, and b (all 4). Print or save a screenshot of your completed images when your group is finished with the interactive game and email them to your teacher. The, describe the 3 major types of muscle in a good constructed paragraph. Provide sources in MLA format.==

==3. Types of Body Movements - Go to the page, follow all directions to watch the video posted by another high school group and post on the discussion thread at least 2 of the mistakes they made. Be sure your group defines all the terms listed 1-12 on the page and **email them** to your teacher (with the identification and classification muscle assignment). ==
