Pee Again
7 minutes
Reacting to The Pee Episode (TAPP 125), Dr. Margaret Reece explains why she thinks the urinary system could be covered far earlier in the anatomy and physiology course than is typical. Kevin then takes off on that idea, suggesting that we should encourage differences among sections of the same course taught at the same time in a single institution.

Kevin announces that the next few episodes will be short episodes—remixes of just one or two segments gleaned from the last five years of The A&P Professor podcast. This will give Kevin the break he needs to generate the psychic energy needed for the spectacular predictions for the year in the next full episode coming in late January.

Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells
15.5 minutes
Here, we outline four (of ten) things that we sometimes under-emphasize to students in our A&P course when discussing cells:
★ Cell diagrams & stained specimens are best thought of as cartoons. They are simplified.
★ Cells are not multicolored, as they are often represented. They are transparent.
★ A fuller concept of the cytoskeleton
★ Molecular motors, which are part of the cytoskeleton, are the movers of cells.
This segment mentions the mind's eye of students, which is not well developed in all students.

More Things We Forget to Tell Students About Cells
15.5 minutes
We finish our list of ten things that we often forget to keep in front of students as they struggle to understand cells and their characteristics.
★ Cells interact with the intracellular matrix (ECM).
★ Things are really, really, really—really—crowded inside cells. And this is a good thing.
★ Cells are not water balloons. Not exactly. Maybe a chunk of Jello covered in butter is a good supplemental example.
★ Cell processes don't happen in steps. Steps happen in explanations, not in the continous flow of living processes.
★ Cells make mistakes. All the time. Some are tragic; some are not.
★ Cells can take care of (many) mistakes.
