Know the following direction-related terms: anterior/posterior; superior/inferior; proximal/distal; rostral/caudal
Understand how blood flows through a capillary bed, including the significance of the hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressures. Know the importance of lymphatic vessels within capillary beds and how they prevent edema under normal conditions.
Know the different type of neurons, as well as their structural and functional classifications, and glial (aka neuroglia) cells in the PNS and CNS, as well as their function.
Know the organizational structure of skeletal muscles and nerves

Guidelines
When teaching biology, we know it can be tempting to simply give learners the answers to their questions. After all, the subject matter tends to be pretty complex, and learners might struggle to understand the concepts without some direction. However, we want to stress the importance of guiding the learner towards the solution instead of simply giving them the answer. I think the best way to do this is to ask some open-ended questions! Here are a few you can ask:
ļ»æ
1. Could you please tell me what you know about this topic?
2. What do you think the answer might be? Why do you think that?
3. Would you please be able to explain this concept to me?
4. Can you think of any alternate explanations?
5. How might this concept relate to other concepts you have learned?
ļ»æ
If the learner is online, we encourage you to to open a Live Help Zoom session! This will allow you to interact with the learner in real-time, answer their questions, and guide them towards the solution!
ļ»æ
We know that guiding learners toward the solutions requires a lot of patience and an adaptive approach to teaching! We appreciate everyoneās hard work in the Biology subworld! Thank you so much for your help!
