Biology concept taught by Dr Shaksshi
Shaksshi and Madi-Mei recently focused their biology lesson on the intricate anatomy of the larynx. They thoroughly reviewed the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of this vital vocal organ, discussed the Bernoulli effect's role in phonation, and distinguished between intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal membranes. Madi-Mei is set to take a mini-test on the larynx, and they've already scheduled their next lesson to explore the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Larynx Functions
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Laryngeal Muscles
Vocal Cord Adduction & Abduction
Bernoulli's Effect in Phonation
Shaksshi recently guided a student from Port St Lucie through a detailed lesson on the anatomy and function of the tongue. Their discussion covered its intricate structure, the role of taste buds, and the various muscles involved. They explored the dorsal and ventral surfaces, different types of papillae, and distinguished between intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles. For their upcoming lesson, the learner plans to send Shaksshi a list of specific topics they find challenging, ensuring a focused review.
Tongue Functions
Dorsal & Ventral Surfaces
Papillae
Intrinsic Tongue Muscles
Extrinsic Tongue Muscles
Shaksshi guided a student residing in Harlem through genetics topics, including gene mapping in fungi and humans, tumor suppressor genes, hallmarks of cancer, and age-related cancer incidence. They reviewed past exam questions, and the learner will prepare for their next lesson by reviewing additional questions beforehand.
Tumor Suppressor Genes
Age-Related Cancer Incidence
Recombination Frequency & Gene Mapping
Chromosome Rearrangement
Proto-oncogenes vs. Oncogenes
Cancer Genomics
Hallmark of Cancer
Shaksshi provided a comprehensive lesson on DNA sequencing techniques, covering Sanger, Illumina, and Oxford Nanopore methods. The learner actively participated by taking notes and creating diagrams to illustrate the Sanger and Illumina processes. They also began exploring gene mapping concepts, specifically in ascomycete fungi and humans. This foundational discussion is set to continue, with the learner, who resides in Cicero, preparing for a test on these topics the following day.
Dideoxynucleotides (ddNTPs)
Ascomycete Fungi in Gene Mapping
Third-Generation Sequencing (Oxford Nanopore)
