(Sarah Rosenshine) Mucus & Mucous 3.5 minutes What's the difference between mucus and mucous? One is a noun, the other an adjective—but that subtle difference trips up a lot of students. This short segment makes a strong case for calling out that distinction early and often in your A&P course. Virtual HAPS Conference 1.0 minute Need new ideas for your A&P course? This brief segment promotes the upcoming virtual HAPS conference and Kevin's own flipped-session presentation—packed with audio strategies for teaching. Mucus: Body-Wide Protector 4.5 minutes Reasons: Mechanical Barrier Immunological First Responder Homeostasis Helper Mucus forms a body-wide protective network—physically trapping invaders, launching immune responses with secretory IgA and enzymes, and maintaining pH and hydration across exposed epithelial surfaces. Gross Episodes 1.0 minute This short segment encourages instructors to lean into the gross-out moments. Why? Because they're often where the best learning happens. And yes, that includes mucus, poop, and pee. Mucus in Motion 4.5 minutes Reasons: 4. Lubrication 5. Trap-and-Transport System 6. Environmental Sentinel This segment gets things moving—literally. Mucus lubricates tissues, rides the mucociliary escalator to clear debris from the lungs, and even signals health status through color and consistency changes. Kerry Hull Honored 0.5 minutes Kevin pauses to celebrate A&P educator Kerry Hull, who received the HAPS President's Medal. It's a quick but heartfelt recognition of excellence and contribution to our teaching community. Mucus & The Human Story 4.0 minutes Reasons: 7. Microbiome Mediator 8. Fertility Facilitator 9. Digestive Ally 10. Indicator of Health In this segment, mucus supports friendly microbes, gets involved in reproduction, protects the gut from self-digestion, and signals health changes. It's a slimy but vital player in our human physiology narrative. Running Concept Lists 0.5 minutes Want to reinforce deeper learning? Use mucus in a running concept list. Kevin explains how this recurring theme links systems and encourages students to build long-lasting conceptual connections. Mucus is Vital 4.5 minutes Reasons: 11. Mucus is Vital to Understanding the Human Body Kevin wraps it all up by calling mucus what it is: vital. It's not just a side note in A&P—it's a unifying, system-spanning feature worth revisiting throughout the course. Links 1. What Is Mucus, Anyway?

Episode 146 of The A&P Professor podcast is one of our winter shorts, where I replay interesting segments from previous episodes. In this one, we discuss the importance of academic integrity in the Anatomy & Physiology course. We emphasize the need to incorporate discussions about integrity in the syllabus and course materials and share real-life examples of violations in the healthcare field. We highlight how dishonesty can have serious consequences and discuss strategies for prevention, such as using multiple test versions and unique topics for papers/projects. Providing examples of acceptable practices and discouraging unethical behavior foster a culture of integrity. We invite listeners to contribute their own strategies for promoting academic integrity. 00:00 | Introduction 01:07 | Academic Integrity in Anatomy & Physiology 29:39 | Modeling Professional Integrity 38:34 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-146.html 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-146.html/#badge ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org/survey ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Substack, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org/updates Guess what? this is one of our winter shorts!

In episode 140, we introduce the development of the pre-A&P course and the A&P1 Supplement course. These courses address the challenges faced by A&P students and improve their readiness and comprehension. In this first of two episodes, we focus on the pre-A&P course. It focuses on filling subject knowledge gaps with 10 modules and cumulative tests. Student surveys and studies show its effectiveness in achieving higher grades in the A&P 1 course. Implementing these nontraditional courses requires collaboration and support from advisors and faculty members. Together, we aim to bridge the gap in subject preparation and learning skills for student success. 0:00:00 | Introduction 0:00:49 | Pre-A&P 0:22:37 | Course Design 0:39:51 | More About Module Tests 0:52:38 | Other Course Features 1:09:51 | Wrapping Up 1:21:10 | Staying Connected ★ If you cannot see or activate the audio player, go to: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-140.html 🏅 Apply for your credential (badge/certificate) for listening to this episode: theAPprofessor.org/podcast-episode-140.html/#badge ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Please rate & review this podcast so that others can decide whether to give it a try: RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor ❓ Please take the anonymous survey: theAPprofessor.org/survey ☝️ Questions & Feedback: 1-833-LION-DEN (1-833-546-6336) ✔️ Follow The A&P Professor on Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, Revue, Tumblr, or Instagram! @theAPprofessor 📰 Get the once-or-twice-weekly TAPP Science & Education Updates theAPprofessor.org/updates One important key to success is self-confidence.

(Helen Keller) Tattoos May Impair Sweating 5 minutes It's interesting to see how tattoos can have an impact on our skin and sweat glands. Tattoos involve mechanical stress and potential damage to the skin, and new research suggests that they may negatively affect the sweat glands, impairing sweating in the area of the tattoo. This reduction in sweating is called anhidrosis, which can impact our ability to maintain body temperature and potentially lead to severe conditions such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. While this is still a preliminary study and more research needs to be done, it's a great example of how discussing real-life applications of anatomy and physiology concepts, such as tattoos, can engage students and make the information more relatable and interesting. ★ Tattooed Skin Negatively Impacts Sweat Gland Function (summary article from Science Times) https://aandp.info/j0g ★ Skin tattooing impairs sweating during passive whole body heating (research article from Journal of Applied Physiology) https://aandp.info/tvt ★ Sweating and body odor (article from Mayo Clinic) https://aandp.info/9cg Please rate & review The A&P Professor—it helps others decide whether to give us a try! 😁 ★ RateThisPodcast.com/theAPprofessor Sponsored by AAA 61 seconds A searchable transcript for this episode, as well as the captioned audiogram of this episode, are sponsored by the American Association for Anatomy (AAA) at anatomy.org. ★ Searchable transcript ★ Captioned audiogram Anatomical Sciences Education: Early View (articles you can read before they are published in an issue of ASE) https://aandp.info/7sn Don't forget—HAPS members get a deep discount on AAA membership! Aural Diversity. It's a Thing. 16 minutes In this segment, host Kevin Patton talks about aural diversity, which refers to variations in hearing ability among people. He explains that understanding aural diversity is important for teachers because it helps them reach all of their students, who may have different hearing abilities. Kevin also notes that he has a hearing impairment himself, and that many other people do as well. He offers some strategies for communicating with people who have hearing impairments, such as repeating things louder, more slowly, and with exaggerated annunciation. Kevin emphasizes that it's important for people to be aware of aural diversity so that they can provide help and support to those who need it. ★ The world is built for people with perfect hearing — but 83% of people don't have it (segment on St. Louis Public Radio) https://aandp.info/08f ★ Aural Diversity (website all about aural diversity) https://auraldiversity.org/ ★ Aural Diversity Infographic https://aandp.info/kwe ★ Workshop on aural diversity (video from auraldiversity.org) https://aandp.info/c14 ★ Auphonic (online sound processing to make your educational media loud enough and clear enough for all students) https://aandp.info/auphonic [this is my affiliate link] ★ What Is LUFS, and Why Should I Care?

The Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT) offers a variety of professional development programs for helping challenged students, and we are interested in these strategies for neurodiverse learners because they often work well for all students. A strong memory is one that is durable, flexible, and involves desirable difficulty to learn. Deep elaboration is the act of adding more information to existing information to create a more complex whole, which involves asking questions that help build deep explanations of core concepts. This approach focuses on the underlying principles and causes of the material being studied and involves a mechanistic approach rather than a teleological approach. ★ Fostering Deep Elaboration: A "trick" for Getting Info to Stick in Memory (training from Landmark College) https://aandp.info/au7 ★ Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning A Practice Guide (free, downloadable book with many strategies [#7 is deep elaboration] aandp.info/fcs ★ Twelve tips for optimising medical student retention of anatomy (article from Medical Teacher)https://aandp.info/55l ★ Landmark College Institute for Research and Training (LCIRT pioneers LD research, discovers innovative strategies and practices, and improves teaching and learning outcomes for students with learning disabilities (like dyslexia), ADHD, and autism, and educators in high school and college settings.) https://aandp.info/hrx ★ Desirable Difficulty (Episode 78) Sponsored by HAPS 55 seconds The Human Anatomy & Physiology Society (HAPS) is a sponsor of this podcast.

The think-aloud process involves telling themselves or being told to stop and think about why certain concepts or facts work the way they do, and to explain them out loud, write them down, or draw pictures to help reinforce the understanding. By doing so, students can identify where they are weak and need to ask more questions, and create an explanation or self-explanation for themselves. This process can also help students connect new concepts to their existing framework of knowledge and make future connections. We also suggest using concept mapping and running concept lists as physical ways to record and reinforce the think aloud process. Finally, we suggest asking deep questions that intentionally take students deeper than simple facts, such as elaborative interrogation, to better understand the why and logic behind the concepts they are learning. ★ Developing Intercultural Sensitivity (book chapter from The Handbook of Intercultural training; expands on concepts of intercultural sensitivity spectrum discussed in this segment) AandP.info/3pm ★ Uncertainty-Identity Theory (paper from Advances in Experimental Social Psychology) AandP.info/vq1 People Production: Aileen Park (announcer), Andrés Rodriguez (theme composer, recording artist), Rev.com team (transcription), Karen Turner (Executive Editor), Kevin Patton (writer, editor, producer, host).
