15.6: Collaborative Study Activities

Collaborative Study Activities

These activities are designed for student groups of 2-4. Larger groups will work better when there is no supplemental instructor present in the laboratory to assist in testing student groups on each section.

Cranial Nerves

1. Identify the following structures on classroom anatomical models and/or unlabeled images/diagrams made available by your instructor. Work with your group to identify each structure and check them off the list once you have identified them.

⎕ abducens nerve ⎕ accessory nerve ⎕ facial nerve ⎕ cranial nerves I - XII ⎕ glossopharyngeal nerve

⎕ hypoglossal nerve ⎕ oculomotor nerve ⎕ olfactory nerve ⎕ optic nerve

⎕ trigeminal nerve ⎕ trochlear nerve ⎕ vagus nerve ⎕ vestibulocochlear nerve

2. Test your group members by asking them to name each structure you point to. Check off each when your group can successfully name each. Your group will also test you.

⎕ abducens nerve ⎕ accessory nerve ⎕ facial nerve ⎕ cranial nerves I - XII ⎕ glossopharyngeal nerve

⎕ hypoglossal nerve ⎕ oculomotor nerve ⎕ olfactory nerve ⎕ optic nerve

⎕ trigeminal nerve ⎕ trochlear nerve ⎕ vagus nerve ⎕ vestibulocochlear nerve

3. When you and your group are comfortable identifying all the structures above, request the assistance of your Instructor. They will test you on your use of these terms and initial ONLY when you are successful using these terms. Instructor: _______

Spinal Nerves

1. Identify the following structures on classroom anatomical models and/or unlabeled images/diagrams made available by your instructor. Work with your group to identify each structure and check them off the list once you have identified them.

⎕ axillary nerve ⎕ brachial plexus ⎕ cervical plexus ⎕ femoral nerve ⎕ intercostal nerves

⎕ lumbosacral plexus ⎕ median nerve ⎕ musculocutaneous nerve ⎕ pudendal nerve ⎕ radial nerve

⎕ sciatic nerve ⎕ spinal nerves C1 - S5 ⎕ subcostal nerve ⎕ ulnar nerve

2. Test your group members by asking them to name each structure you point to. Check off each when your group can successfully name each. Your group will also test you.

⎕ axillary nerve ⎕ brachial plexus ⎕ cervical plexus ⎕ femoral nerve ⎕ intercostal nerves

⎕ lumbosacral plexus ⎕ median nerve ⎕ musculocutaneous nerve ⎕ pudendal nerve ⎕ radial nerve

⎕ sciatic nerve ⎕ spinal nerves C1 - S5 ⎕ subcostal nerve ⎕ ulnar nerve
