Unit 3 lab

I decided to do a model of the knee joint because I have recently started running so I have been extra interested in my knees lately. I did my best to show every part of the joint. I couldn’t figure out how to illustrate the movement.

I did the model of the knee joint including

Femur: represented my the top portion of a spoon

Patella: represented by the scoop part of the spoon

Quadriceps tendon: represented by blue rubber bands

Lateral Collateral ligament: represented by organ rubber band

Anterior cruciate ligament: yellow rubber band

Medical collateral ligament: tin foil

Meniscus: paper clip

Patella tendon: green rubber band

Tibia: Handle of the bottom spoon

Here’s the model of my knee






Here is a model of a neuron




Here is a model of a muscle cell






My main model represents the knee joint. I learned all about the different parts of the knee and what they do. How the muscles help to move my joint, and especially all the different parts.

I have to say that while I do end up learning a lot from the labs they are my least favorite activity in the course. It is not enjoyable and it is very hard to wrap my head around.
