TOPICS FOR PRACTICAL EXAM II - Biology 1407
You will be tested using 10 stations, 4-6 questions per station, 3 minutes per station. No microscopes or
living material will be used. In order to assure that each student sees the same thing, representative
pictures will be provided. These pictures are well drawn - you should have no trouble recognizing the
subject matter. The practical will cover the remainder of the laboratory exercises that were actually
performed.
FOR THESE LABORATORY EXERCISES, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE TO IDENTIFY
THE TISSUES AND ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES COVERED IN LABORATORY
EXERCISES 8 - 12. THIS EXAM WILL BE COMPOSED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY OF THE
TYPE OF IDENTIFICATION QUESTIONS WHICH WILL REQUIRE YOU TO KNOW:
1. THE SPECIFIC NAMES OF TISSUE TYPES AND SUBTYPES
2. TISSUE NOMENCLATURE, BY CELL SHAPE AND NUMBER CRITERIA
3. CELLS OF WHICH THE TISSUES STUDIED ARE COMPOSED
4. CELLULAR ORGANELLES WITHIN THESE CELLS
5. SPECIFIC COMPONENT CELLS AND MATRICES OF CONNECTIVE TISSUES
6. BLOOD CELLS, BY THEIR SPECIFIC SCIENTIFIC NAMES
7. NAMES OF SYSTEMS COVERED
8. SPECIFIC ORGANS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SYSTEMS
9. SPECIFIC STRUCTURES ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE ORGANS
10. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES FROM ZYGOTE TO GASTRULA
11. SPECIFIC STRUCTURES OF A SEA STAR GASTRULA
THIS EXAM WILL HEAVILY, HEAVILY, HEAVILY STRESS THE GRAPHIC ELEMENTS
FROM LAB EXERCISES 8 THROUGH 12. TO DO WELL ON THIS EXAM, YOU SHOULD BE
EXTREMELY FAMILIAR WITH ALL GRAPHICS, THEIR LEGENDS AND THEIR LABELED
COMPONENTS.
YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED ON THE CRANIAL NERVES IN LAB EXERCISE 11.
