If you've got a big gut and you start doing sit-ups, you are going to get bigger because you build up the muscle. You've got to get rid of that fat! How do you get rid of fat? By changing your diet. (Jack LaLanne)

3 | Liver Anticipates Food2 minutes
We know that digestive organs respond to anticipation of food—as if food really is going to be ingested and swallowed. New research suggests that the sight of a donut (for example) can get our hepatic cells to start revving up for the storage and processing of nutrients during the absorptive state.

5 | What Do We Really Know About Exercise, Diet, Metabolism, & Body Weight?
8 minutes
The science of exercise, diet, metabolism, and body weight—and what is healthy and what is not—is far from being worked out. Sometimes, the simplest principles that we believe to be true, aren't really. A of research seems to conflict, which means we have much more work to do, eh?

The Master of Science in Human Anatomy & Physiology Instruction—the MS-HAPI—is graduate program for A&P teachers. A combination of science courses (enough to qualify you to teach at the college level) and courses in instructional practice, this program helps you power up your teaching. Kevin Patton is a faculty member in this program. Check it out!

17 minutes
Learning the major muscles of the body can be intimidating for students. But if they understand from the start that those unusual names are more than a tongue-twisting combination of syllables—that they actually have meaning—they can use muscle names as mnemonic aids to learning. Muscle names can help students remember muscles by reminding them of the muscle's location, function, shape, size, and/or other characteristics.
