MON 22
Bone Tissue and Bone Growth
Compact and spongy bone, osteocytes, and how bone forms and remodels.
BIO 304 · Week 3 of 8 · Jun 22 to Jun 28 · Nightly Pre-Work
Bone tissue to the skeleton.
Four pre-work days. Four topics. The skeleton from microscopic bone tissue out to how the bones move at joints. Each topic page walks you through the reading, the fill-in-the-blank notes, the video, and then opens your nightly spaced-recall cards. Open one topic on Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri. Wednesday is catch-up and discussion.
How each pre-work session runs
Four steps, in order.
Same four steps every pre-work day. The order matters. The retrieval check is what makes the cards work.
01
Open the topic, print the workbook
Pick the day's topic from the list below. Print that day's lab workbook before you sit down. Breaking flow to find a printer is where good study sessions die.
02
Watch the short video
Finishing the video is what starts the retrieval gate. Read the fill-in-the-blank notes alongside it.
03
Write the 60-word check
Pull together what the video just taught you. Submitting unlocks the spaced-recall cards for the topic.
04
Run the nightly cards
DOK 1 to DOK 3 cards. They carry over into future Daily Reviews so the work compounds.

Your four pre-work days
Open one topic per day.
Each topic links to its lecture page. The lecture page is the gate into your spaced-recall cards for that topic.
TUE 23
Axial Skeleton
Skull, vertebral column, thorax. The 80 bones along the body's central axis.
THU 25
Appendicular Skeleton
Pectoral and pelvic girdles plus the limbs. 126 bones, all named.
FRI 26
Joints and Body Movements
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial joints, and the movements each one allows.
A note from me
Week 3, same rhythm.
Each pre-work day takes about 30 to 45 minutes if you sit with it. The retrieval check is the part that makes it stick. Do not skip writing those 60 words, even when the cards look like the easier path.
If you fall behind on a day, do that day's topic first before moving to the next. The spaced-recall cards only schedule properly when you have done the work on the topic page first.

Ready to start
Day 9 is bone tissue. Open it.
Before you can name a bone, you have to know what bone tissue is. Start at the microscope and work outward all week.
