Through a series of images, photos, and outlines the anatomy of the heart both externally and internally is presented. The major function of each outlined part discussed
Explanation and clarification of how and which blood will agglutinate if transfused.
Examine the structure and function of leukocytes.
Discuss ameboid movement and phagocytosis.
Introduce thrombocytes and show how the platelets can rupture and release clotting factors which start the cascade of clotting.
Today, we started working on the Integumentary System. We defined the integumentary system as an organ system consisting of the skin, hair, nails, and exocrine glands. Lena took her notes about the hair. We also watched a short video and Lena completed her worksheet and quiz.
Continue with the subject of blood types.
Explain how the blood types are determined by antigens on red blood cells.
Introduce a brief lesson on Mendelian genetics, the terms dominant, recessive.
Explain how two genes are needed for a trait to express and how they are inherited.
Introduce the genotypes of the ABO blood typing system, and which are dominant.
Discuss transfusion and why introducing a different type of blood will lead to agglutination and death.
Present a series of blood type possibilities in a fetus given the parents' blood types.

Lesson Comments
Even with a somewhat limited biology background, Nina was quick to understand and see the blood type probabilities.
Examination and discussion of the ABO blood typing groups.
Blood type is determined by a specific antigen located on the red blood cells.
The antigen is determined by inheritance.
Outline which blood type is dominant over the other blood types.
Relate how a purely recessive type O can exhibit in an offspring from type A and Type B parents.

Lesson Comments
Nina was on line for half the class period. Because she does not possess a strong biology background, the information was presented without in depth explaining.
Complete the discussion on the structure and function of red blood cells.
Show an image of a hemoglobin molecule, the four heme groups along with their iron molecules which bond to the oxygen.
Discuss the structure and function of leukocytes, their main role in phagocytosis of pathogens. Show the development from the stem cells to mature White blood cells. Discuss leukemia.

Nina was not on line. The time to be on line progressed from 9AM to 9:30 to 10:00.
Anatomy and physiology of the erythrocytes.
Production in the bone marrow from stem cells. View images...
Lack nucleus, therefore no cellular reproduction-
Quantity of about 6 million/microliter-
Function is to transport oxygen by bonding it to hemoglobin-
View structure of hemoglobin, elements required, and disorders caused by lack of hemoglobin and mature red blood cells-
