Topics to Know from Old Lectures

This page lists the topics from the old lectures (i.e. lectures already covered on Exams 1, 2 and 3) that will be on the final exam. About 30% of the final exam (i.e., about 15 questions) will consist of questions on these topics. I have attempted to clarify the exact portions of lectures by giving the section numbers; please see the PowerPoint files downloaded from CULearn to verify you have the correct section numbers indicated in your notes.

1. Know the types of simple epithelium, the types of stratified epithelium, the examples (given in the epithelium lectures) of where each type can be found, and the functions emphasized in that lecture. (Lectures 2-3, I.c and I.d.)

2. Know the characteristics, components and examples (locations in the body) that were given in the connective tissue lectures for: areolar CT, adipose CT, reticular CT, dense regular CT, dense irregular CT, and elastic CT. Know the larger categories that these belong to (loose vs. dense CT; CT proper). (Lecture 4, II.d.1.)

3. Know everything from the Body Cavities and Membranes portion of Lecture 5 (I-III). Also know the internal and external lining of the GI tract (section I.c from lectures 12-13).

4. Know the 4 processes involved in respiration (ventilation, external respiration, gas transport in blood, internal respiration), and where they occur (Lecture 16, section I.a.). Also know the conducting and respiratory zones and how they relate to those processes (Lecture 16, section I.b.).

5. Know the circulatory routes (pulmonary vs. systemic circuit) and their relationship to external and internal respiration. Know the general circulatory principles regarding arteries, veins, and capillaries, where they deliver blood to/from, and whether they carry oxygenated/deoxygenated blood. Also understand the concept of portal veins as reviewed in this lecture. (Lectures 17-18, sections I.b and I.c.)

6. Know the chambers and valves of the heart, the specific vessels discussed with the heart, the order in which blood travels through all these different structures, where in this pathway oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood is found, and the production of the heart sounds ("lub-dup"). (Lecture 18, sections II.d and II.e.)

7. Know the structures and functions of the lymphatic system and its interaction with the cardiovascular system (Lecture 19, section I). Understand how it fits in with the general circulatory routes (Lectures 17-18, sections I.b and I.c).

8. Know the meaning (structure and location) of gray vs. white matter, nerves, ganglia, tracts, and nuclei in the nervous system. Also understand the relationship between nerves, neurons, and nerve fibers (axons) and the direction of signal transmission. (Lectures 20-21, section II.c.)

9. Know the Diagram of Blood and CSF Flow Through the Brain (at the end of Lecture 21, section III.a). Be able to label the diagram, and know the flow pathways through it. Understand how it fits in with the cardiovascular system (Lectures 17-18, sections I.b and I.c).
