“Show us your boo-boos!”

GULF HIGH SCHOOL, Oct. 30, 2006. -- Mrs. Gedraitis' advanced drama students joined forces with Mrs. Lowry-Christie's health services students to help Mrs. Dale's anatomy and physiology students review traumatic injuries that affect the integumentary system. The drama students researched makeup techniques and then "applied" their knowledge to give the health service students realistic looking lacerations, incisions, puncture wounds, abrasions, contusions, and avulsions. The "models" then explained and answered questions as the anatomy students took notes. Here are some pictures. Submitted by Mrs. Dale.

Drama students use their skills to transform healthy skin into horrible wounds.

In these pictures and the ones below: Avulsion, abrasions, lacerations, and a puncture wound!
