How bleeding stops. ABO and Rh, and why type matters.
BIO 304 · Week 6 of 8 · Jul 13 to Jul 19 · Nightly Pre-Work
Blood and how the body moves blood.
Four pre-work days. Five topics. Blood itself, the heart that pumps it, and the vessels that carry it. Schedule extra runway, this week has more moving parts. 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 14
Heart Anatomy and the Cardiac Cycle
Four chambers, four valves, and one beat's worth of pressure and volume.
THU 16
Cardiac Conduction System
SA node to AV node to bundle branches. How the heart sets its own rhythm.
FRI 17
Blood Vessels and Hemodynamics
Arteries, veins, capillaries, and the pressures that move blood through them.
A note from me
Week 6, 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 21 is two topics. Open it.
Composition and hemostasis together. Both feed directly into the cardiac cycle on Tuesday.
