Week 6

This week was filled with a random assortment of muscles to learn. We finished off the foot muscles and the blood and nerves. Then moved to the back and the muscles that help us move our trunk and head. Then we jumped to facial muscles. I have to say that this was the most fun week we had while studying.

One part of the practical was to make a face that went along with the muscle that you drew from a stack of cards. I, of course, got a pretty funny one. Depressor anguli oris. This moves the corners of the mouth down into a frown, or if you just do one side a really funny face. Not only were we making faces all week, but the names are pretty fun to say. Which is my favorite part!

Depressor Anguli Oris

Mentalis

Procerus

Orbicularis Oris

So aside from the funny faces, the jumping around made memorizing and clumping things together slightly more difficult. I did pretty well on the test still and I'm ready to move onto the last week of bootcamp and to the finals on Thursday :)
