Quiz # 10: Virus, Respiratory, Reproducitve and Excretory system

Virus transmission:
How viruses are transmitted and how could you calculate the rate at which they spread in a population

Respiratory system:
Know all the structures (pg 215, lab manual) on fetal pig as well as their function.
How do alveoli look and thier function (Slide)
What does TV, IRV, ERV, RV and VC represent. How can you calculate them from graph.
Solving all questions on pg 217 will be helpful

Reproductive system:
Go through the theory part from page 219 through 223.
Remember the functions of all these structures.
Fig.1 and Fig.2 of male and female reproductive organs. Should be able to identify the same on human models.
Be able to identify the organs on fetal pig.
Slide of ovaries and testis
Hint: for ovaries try looking out for secondary and graffian follicles
for testis one could see sperms radiating out from the lumen.

Human contraception and STD:
What devices are helpful for contraception and to what extent
Will they be helpful in protecting agains STD's.
Go through questions on pg 225.
What are bacterial caused and virus caused STD's

Excretory system:
Identify the structures associated with kidney on fetal pig
On a slide: Do not mention only kidney if it is asked for something specific. See where the pointer is. Glomerulus could be easily seen.
Identify structures on sheep kidney
able to remember the functions of kidney, the conducting pathway of nephron and different parts of nephron.

Quiz # 8: Digestive system

Digestive system: quiz guide

• Name of enzymes, enzyme reactions and products formed during each of starch, proteins and fat digestion

• What organs aid in release of those enzymes and where does each of those processes occur.

• Table 2 on Pg 187: Understand the importance of changing acid and base to the effect on reaction.

• What all reagents (the obvious ones) were used for each of these tests

• Slide identification question: Know the functions of every layer of small intestine. Most importantly the muscle layers that are responsible for peristalsis and segmentation.

• Identification of organs: Know all the organs on Pg 192 as well as their function

• Also go through all the summary questions on Pg 192 and 193.

I will be there early so if any body wants to go through the digestive system in pig again before quiz – just hop in early.

Quiz #7 Study Tips

Since there is a great deal of material for you to remember, I thought I would put the study guide up sooner.

All the information can be found in your lab manual, fetal pig atlas, or handout.
Lab Manual pg. 163-177
Fetal Pig Atlas pg. 1-24

1. Histology-understand the different types, where these tissues types are found within the body, an example of each [ie. skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle are muscle tissue types] and know in detail (specific to what you had to draw and label) tissue types found on the 3 slides
  • Epithelium, Connective, Supportive, Muscle, Nervous

3 slides:

  • Compact Bone- be able to label central canal, lamaellae, canaliculi, lacunae (refer to pg. 10 in your Fetal Pig Atlas)
  • Hyaline Cartilage- be able to label chondrocytes and lacunae (pg. 10 in Fetal Pig Atlas)
  • Skeletal Muscle- location of nucleus

2. Living Cow bone:

  • Know how to locate all 8 structures on pg. 171 of your lab manual, I won't ask for all on the quiz but I might ask you to label 1 or 2 structures indicated

3. Human Skeleton

  • Axial vs. Appendicular Division
  • Bone types pg. 172 in your lab manual, know an example of each bone type
  • Be able to identify human bones, on a skeleton and alone
  • Possible quiz question: Displayed the arm bones, asked you to identify each bone and the type of joint formed. I could do this for the arm, leg, hands, feet, shoulder, etc.

4. Joints-Examples pg. 12 in Fetal Pig Atlas

  • Condylar-knee
  • Gliding- wrist, ankle
  • Hinge- finger
  • Pivot- elbow
  • Spheroidal (Ball and Socket) - hip, shoulder
  • Suture - skull

5. Body Movements pg. 177 in lab manual

  • Flexion vs. Extension
  • Abduction vs. Adduction
  • Supinatin vs. Pronation
  • Dorsiflexion vs. Plantar flexion

6. Other terms to know:

  • Exoskeleton vs. Endoskelton
  • Tendon vs. Ligament

7. Body Planes/Orientation pg. 167 in lab manual:

  • Planes: Coronal, Transverse, Midsagittal, Sagittal
  • Orientations: Anterior/Ventral, Posterior/Dorsal, Medial, Lateral, Cranial, Caudal, Proximal, Distal
  • Understand the locations of planes in bipeds (2 legs) vs. quadrupeds (4 legs)

Quiz # 6-CSI Bio107 and Bones

Sorry for being late about the quiz tips. But here it is.

Principles of electrophoresis: What migrates where, charges? Use of standard markers (those colorful standards)

Restriction enzymes: What are they? How they work? Site specificity, single digest vs double digest.
How many fragments you could generate.

All about forensics and bones. Different structure of bones can be used to detect either male or female, age, ethnicity etc. What are these characteristics?
