- Download the slideshow EPOcycle.ppt
- Duplicate the image, use the crop tool to cut kidney out, and use the remove background tool to isolate it. Click elsewhere to finish editing.
- Repeat step 2 for the femur and the red blood cells.
- Draw a triangle at the base of the seesaw (vippe), color it black.
- Draw a cube (terning) to replace the “Normal blood oxygen levels” figure. Resize to fit using the yellow handle. Insert text “Normal blood oxygen”. Insert a couple of empty lines afterwards to place the text correctly.
- Duplicate the cube created in step 5, remove the text and rotate to fit the seesaw.
- Change the color of the latter cube using a gradient from blue to red. (Fill->Gradient->More gradients->Gradient fill). Change the right color to dark red. Change the angle to 180°.
- Send the red/blue cube to the back and reposition above the triangle.
- Create circular arrows above each of the arrows on the background figure, using the yellow handle to adjust the size and rotating them to fit the original figure. Copy/paste the arrows to speed up the process.
- Create rounded rectangles at each original textbox. Highlight the rectangle and type a reduced text into each. (You can created subscripted 2’s for the O2 if you highlight the 2 and click the arrow in the bottom right corner of the font box on the home tab - here you can choose lowered text.)
- Create textboxes for the text without background on the original figure and reduce the font size. Type an abbreviated text into each.
- Recolor the arrows and textboxes to match the original figure.
Bonus task: Animate the slide.
- Using fade animations, animate the slide as follows:
- Initially, select the Stimulus: Hypoxia box, and make it fade
- Follow with a fade-out animation of the “Normal blood oxygen” cube, followed with a fade-in of the rotated red/blue cube. Make both appear “After previous”.
- Select the arrow belonging to “Stimulus Hypoxia” box and apply fade in together with the red/blue cube.
- Select the Reduced Blood O2 and the corresponding arrow and apply fade in.
- Select the kidney and the textbox besides it. Make both fade in. Change the kidney to appear “After previous”.
- Select the “EPO stimulates” box and the corresponding arrow. Apply fade in.
- Select the arrow pointing to the femur as well as the femur itself and apply fade in. Make this happen “After previous”.
- Select the arrow pointing towards the RBC’s and the textbox “Enhanced erythropoiesis”. Apply fade in.
- Select the RBC’s and the “More RBC’s” textbox besides it and apply fade in. Make this happen “After previous”.
- Select the “Increased Blood O2” box and the arrows leading to and from it and apply fade in.
- Select the rotated red/blue cube, click the “add animation” button and choose fade out.
- Select the cube containing the text “Normal blood oxygen”, “add animation” button and select fade-in. Change the timing of the latter to be “With previous”.
Bonus, bonus task:
- Replace the fade animations of the arrows with wipe/vifte animations, just like in the previous “Go with the flow” exercise.
