Anatomy of Trust: Promoting Integrity in A&P Education | Winter Shorts | TAPP 146

1/16/2024
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!

These unique potentials occur in layers two and three of the human cerebral cortex and play a role in complex brain functions. Unlike typical action potentials, dendritic action potentials are graded and produced by the influx of calcium ions.

(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!

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 ★...
