Topic 8: Lab Practical Guide & Stations Blueprint / บทที่ 8: คู่มือสอบแล็ปกริ๊ง และรายการเช็กลิสต์ทุกสเตชั่น

From the official course examination announcement PDF:

• Course: 2102201 Anatomy and Physiology 1 (AP1)
• Total Stations: 33 Stations (28 Question Stations + 5 Rest Stations).
• Timing: Exactly 1 minute and 10 seconds (70 seconds) per station. Bell rings to signal station rotation.
• Question Format: Each test station has two sub-questions (Item 1 & Item 2) pointing to anatomical structures/models or histological slides.
• Scoring: 4 stations per topic × 7 topics = 28 test stations = 56 total points (8 points per topic).
• Writing Rule: Black or blue pen only (pencils strictly prohibited).

Distribution of the 7 Examination Topics:

1. Introduction to Human Anatomy and Cytology (Stations 1–4, 8 pts)
2. Basic Tissues and Integumentary System (Stations 5–8, 8 pts)
3. Introduction to Physiology (Stations 9–12, 8 pts)
4. Skeletal System (Stations 13–16, 8 pts)
5. Muscular System I - Histology & Sarcomere (Stations 17–20, 8 pts)
6. Muscular System II - Major Skeletal Muscles (Stations 21–24, 8 pts)
7. Physiology of Muscular System (Stations 25–28, 8 pts)

Checklist by Lab Station:

• Lab 1: Regional surface landmarks (frontal, mental, cervical, acromial, antecubital, carpal, femoral, patellar, crural, popliteal, sural, calcaneal); Body cavities (cranial, vertebral, pleural, pericardial, abdominal, pelvic); Planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse); Microscope parts (eyepiece, nosepiece, objective lenses, condenser, diaphragm, coarse/fine knobs); Cell organelles.
• Lab 2: Histology slides of epithelia (simple squamous, cuboidal, columnar, pseudostratified, stratified squamous, transitional); Connective tissue types (areolar, adipose, dense regular, cartilage types, compact bone, blood smear); Skin model (stratum basale, spinosum, granulosum, corneum; papillary and reticular dermis; hair follicle, sebaceous gland, sweat gland, arrector pili).
• Lab 3: Egg osmosis demonstration (hypotonic swelling vs hypertonic shrinking); clinical tonicity calculations (Normal Saline, D5W, Mannitol).
• Lab 4: Skull bones (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, mandible, zygomatic); Bony landmarks (mastoid process, styloid process, sella turcica, crista galli, foramen magnum, occipital condyles); Cranial foramina & CNs; Vertebrae (Atlas C1, Axis C2 with dens, thoracic costal facets, lumbar, sacral hiatus); Limb bones and joint types.
• Lab 5: Muscle histology (skeletal, cardiac, smooth); Connective tissue sheaths (epimysium, perimysium, endomysium); Sarcomere bands (Z disc, A band, I band, H zone, M line); Neuromuscular junction (axon terminal, synaptic cleft, motor end plate).
• Lab 6: Cadaver muscle dissection pins (Frontalis, Orbicularis oculi/oris, Masseter, SCM, Trapezius, Deltoid, Pectoralis major, Rectus abdominis, External oblique, Biceps brachii, Brachialis, Triceps, Gluteus maximus, Sartorius, Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, Tibialis anterior, Gastrocnemius, Achilles tendon).
• Lab 7: Frog pithing criteria (absence of corneal/withdrawal reflexes); Myogram latent, contraction, relaxation phases; Wave summation, tetanus; Patellar and Achilles reflex arcs; Jendrassik maneuver; Reflex grading 0 to 4+.
