The document outlines topics and questions for a 4th quarter anatomy and physiology project. Students will create a PowerPoint presentation on one assigned topic from a list of 17 options. The presentation should teach the class about the key points of the assigned topic and answer prescribed questions. It must be emailed by the deadline and follow guidelines for font size, number of slides, and content. A quiz will be given on all the presentations.
