A big thank you goes out to all of our guests who helped launch our Winter Trimester with a roomful of great energy. I hope to see many of you again soon.Questions for this week, based on my presentation: "A Brief History of the Spine:"
* What are the dual functions that the evolving spine had to provide for the central nervous system of our aquatic ancestors?
* What do the terms "ontogeny and phylogeny" refer to?
* Give two contexts of what is meant by "the primary curve" of the spine.
* Give two contexts of what is meant by "the secondary curves" of the spine.
* Why do chimpanzees have trouble walking on their hind legs?
I loook forward to seeing you next week, when we discuss in greater detail the structure and function of sections of the spine, and begin to explore their ranges of motion.
