Study Notes
BIOL 109 Final Exam Study Guide
- Format: 2-hour cumulative exam, 15% of final grade, 75 multiple-choice questions. Focus on lecture material. Lab experience may be helpful.
-
Lecture Topics:
- Introduction: Anatomy & physiology, directional terms, body cavities, homeostasis, positive and negative feedback.
- Chemical Level of Organization: Dehydration synthesis, hydrolysis, pH, organic macromolecules, and enzymes.
- Cellular Level of Organization: Organelles, membrane transport, cell cycle, mitosis.
- Tissue Level of Organization: Epithelial types, muscle tissues, connective tissues, membranes.
- Integumentary System: Skin layers, accessory structures.
- Nervous Tissue/Electrophysiology: Nervous system terminology, neuron types, myelin, neuroglia, resting potential, depolarization, hyperpolarization, action potential propagation.
- Brain/Cranial Nerves: Brain anatomy, cortical regions, diencephalon, midbrain, brainstem, cerebellum, cranial meninges, cranial nerves (excluding glossopharyngeal, accessory, and hypoglossal).
- Spine/Spinal Nerves: Spinal cord anatomy, sensory and motor functions, nerve plexuses, peripheral nerves, sensory receptors, reflex mechanisms.
- Autonomic Nervous System: Autonomic vs. somatic systems, parasympathetic vs. sympathetic divisions, neurotransmitters, receptors (nicotinic, adrenergic), dual innervation.
- Special Senses: Anatomy/physiology of olfaction, gustation, vision, hearing.
- Endocrine System: Major hormones, second messengers, release mechanisms.
- Bones and Osseous Tissue: Anatomy, endochondral vs. intramembranous ossification.
- Articulations: Joint movements (flexion, extension, etc.)
- Muscle Tissue: Muscle cell (fiber) anatomy, connective tissue layers, muscle contraction stages (excitation, coupling, cross-bridge cycle).
Note:
- Lecture order differs from textbook order for topics 7 and 8.
