• The entire class time today was given to the Chicken Wing Dissection lab.  Students were to locate, observe and remove: muscle, tendon, ligament, skin, fat and bone.  There was not enough time to dissect and complete the lab sheet so there will be time alloted on Monday to finish up.
• We will move on to blood and circulation next week.
• I have graded Bone Quiz II but will not enter them into IParent until after I have returned them and given you a chance to ask questions about your quizzes.  Watch for them to show up on Monday PM.
• *****  No Homework  *****  unless you have overdue items.
