**[EXAM \#1 REVIEW STUDY GUIDE FOR BSC 2085]** Hello all, As promised, I made this study guide for your first Exam on Friday 9/20. Remember, you must study the topics/concepts and not just memorize them. Application becomes very important in anatomy & physiology so it becomes crucial to understand the material. (Knowing that proximal is the 'opposite' of distal will help, but it will not allow you to see the bigger picture. Understanding that proximal/distal is used when referring to the appendages; and that proximal means closer to the trunk as distal means further away from the trunk, helps to provide a more thorough understanding of the topic.) Good luck and I will see you all on Monday! - Know what auscultation, palpation and percussion are and how they are used. - Know the hierarchy of the biological organization of life (atoms molecules etc): be able to place them in order - Know the major sectional planes of anatomy and how they divide the body (i.e. sagittal plane divides body into left and right) - Know the major body cavities and their contents - Know the directional terminology for anatomy and be able to apply them (i.e. the head is superior to the abdomen) - Be able to identify and give examples of both positive and negative feedback loops. - Know what homeostasis is and how it applies to anatomy. - What are the simplest units of life called? - Know diffusion, osmosis, concentration gradients and how they are applied in anatomy. - Know prefixes/suffixes for high hyper and low Hypo to deduce what something like HyperCalcemia means. - Be able to calculate subatomic particles based on atomic number, mass number or a combination of both. - Be able to identify a cation vs. an anion. - Be able to identify whether a molecule is hydrophobic or hydrophilic. - Know the pH scale and be able to determine whether something is acidic or basic based on the pH and/or \[H+\] concentration. - Know what a buffer does and what its purpose is. - Know what the most abundant molecules in the plasma membrane are. - Generally, know what would and what would not increase the rate of a given chemical reaction. - Know the difference between cilia, microvilli and flagella - Know difference between decomposition and synthesis reactions. - Know the 4 major classes of macromolecules and what the building blocks of each one is. - Know intracellular vs extracellular compartments. - Know the main determining/limiting factor for how large a cell can grow (surface area, volume, etc) - Know what transmembrane proteins are and where they are located. - What does selectively permeable mean? - Know the action and function of ribosomes. - Differentiate between phagocytosis and pinocytosis. - Tonicity: hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic. BE SURE TO UNDERSTAND THESE - Know differences between DNA and RNA as well as the structure of nucleotides. - Know the law of complementary base pairing and how to apply it when given a "template strand" - Know which bases are purines vs. pyrimidines. - Know codon vs anticodon - Know the different types of RNA and what they do. - Know what a karyotype is and how to read one. (i.e. determine the sex of an individual based on a picture of the karyotype) - Know the process of mitosis and generally what occurs in each stage. Same for meiosis. - Understand synapsis and when it occurs. - Know what homologous chromosomes are. Done - Mitosis creates a diploid cell from a diploid cell. Meiosis creates several haploid cells. Understand the reasoning behind this. - Know where transcription and translation occur. Done - Know "anatomy" of a chromosome chromatin (decondensed), wraps around histone proteins to form nucleosome etc - Know the cell cycle, phases of mitosis, interphase etc - Know what an allele is. done - Know how to give a complementary strand of DNA or RNA when given a template strand. Done. Good Luck studying and please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions! Professor D
