...Term 1 topics (30% of the exam): • Skeleton • Muscles • Nervous System • The Brain Skeleton and Muscles • Skeletal system is all the bones in the body and the tissues that connect them • Average human has 206 bones • Bones: - Composed of living cells - Has protein called collagen, which makes it strong (Collagen: strong fibers) - Contain calcium sulphate and phosphorous which makes it hard - 2 types: compact bone (outer layer, dense and hard), spongy bone (inner layer, consist of fine struts of bone, forms the red bone marrow) • Cartilage (soft bone): - Firm but softer than bone, cartilage is rubbery while bone is firm - Has collagen but no mineral salts - Smooth slippery surface acts as a cushion, reduces friction • Function of bones: - Enables movement (eg: raising of arm, breathing movement in the ribs, chewing of the jaws) - Storage minerals - Support the body, keep it off the ground and keeps the body shape - Where blood production happens (red marrow of some bones such as vertebrae produce both red and white blood cells) - Protection (brain-skull/cranium, heart, lungs and liver-rib cage, spinal cord-vertebrae) • Structure of the skeleton (just important ones): 1. Vertebral column - Also called backbone or spine or spinal column - Consists of 33 individual vertebrae - Cartilage allows the...

...BSC 1020 - Biology of Humans EXAM 1 Study Guide Exam Instructions • Exam 1 is scheduled for Saturday, February 13, 2016 from 11:00am-12:15pm • It will be held on the Tampa campus, in CW Bill Young Hall (CWY), which is located on USF Maple Dr., across from the Social Science bldg. (SOC), and north of the gym/rec center (REC). Campus maps can be found at: http://www.usf.edu/administrative-services/parking/maps/index.aspx o Because there are 316 students, we’ll split the class between two adjacent rooms: If you last name begins with A ‒ J, go to CWY 107 ▪ If you last name begins with K ‒ Z, go to CWY 109 ▪ • If you cannot come to the Tampa campus that day, it is your responsibility to arrange for an alternate site. Refer to the syllabus for more details. • Please bring your student ID and a pencil. Scantron sheets will be provided. • The exam covers Chapters 1 to 7, Units A‒D. Roughly the same number of questions will come from each chapter. • It will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions, including approximately 10 True/False. Study Recommendations: • Re-read each chapter ahead of time, study the PowerPoint slides • Do the online practice quizzes and activities. Better yet, do them a couple of times. Some of the exam questions may be the same or very similar. • Take the quizzes found at the end of each chapter in the textbook Study Material: To help you focus your studies as much as possible, I’ve assembled...

...Basic Pharmacology is a senior level/graduate level course which will make use of representative groups of pharmacologic agents to introduce the basic principles of pharmacology. Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics will be the main focus of course, but concepts of cell biology, anatomy, physiology and pathology will be incorporated to present a thorough understanding of the action of drugs in the human body. The course will not cover all the major drug groups, however. The course will require study and mastery of assigned topics and chapters, and so the textbook is necessary. More importantly, the main educational goal of the class is to develop competencies deemed essential in the field of biomedicine, as reported by the AAMC-HHMI special committee. The course will require that students work through the Blackboard resources of the UM-Flint website. Students are responsible for gaining access to the Internet as needed. It is highly suggested that students avail of the resources of the UM Flint library and computer labs as much as possible. Course Objectives 1. To know basic pharmacologic terms and definitions 2. To understand concepts specific to pharmacology 3. To apply these basic concepts to the use of commonly known drugs 4. To analyze the relationship of drug action to physiologic signs and symptoms Textbook (Required) Brody’s Human Pharmacology (Molecular to Clinical) 5th Edition, by Lynn Wecker with Lynn Crespo, George Dunaway, Carl Faingold and Stephanie...

...TITLE: Study Approach: PAMANTANSAN NG LUNSOD NG MAYNILA CS THIRD YEAR BIOLOGY STUDENTS A. Background of the Study BS Biology students have the burden of memorizing technical/scientific terms, different defining characteristics of representative species from different phyla, long and confusing life cycles of different organisms and such. Many have failed in recalling key details and important information during examinations and majority of that is because of the technicality of the information they need to digest. The change made by the new administration of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila regarding the grading system has motivated the students to study harder to acquire the maintaining grade or to get a higher one. This has driven students to create their own techniques regarding memorizing or understanding overwhelming information and data. In the case of the BS Biology students in PLM, they deal with scientific terminologies, numerous characteristics of different organisms and the like which are hard to put in mind. Different techniques are being used to make the students remember as many information as possible. To make the future students acquire needed values, viewpoints, strategies and forms of knowledge to live creatively in the world of future, new trends in educational area have been needed(Koutselini, 1997). For that reason, together with these new ideas and triggered by the changes in educational arena, various approaches, theories, and trends have appeared...

...find the discipline within science boring and hard. It is hypothesized that the role of the educator will have a greater effect on the student than the students past learning experiences. Also, Chidolue (1986) stated teachers’ attitudes towards Biology teaching is one of the major contributors towards explaining the variance in students’ cognitive achievement. While Odubunmi (1986) and Odunsi (1988) were able to confirm that teachers’ attitudes towards Integrated Science teaching affected their students’ attitudes and their ability to learn the subject and Oqunwuyi (2000) found significant causal relationships between the teachers’ attitude and students’ achievement in Integrated Science. The following literature reviews will make an effort to demonstrate and support the hypothesis. In the research article by Prokop, P., Tuncer, G., & Chuda, J. (2007) they address the following questions as a guide for their study. First, what are students’ attitudes towards Biology lessons? Is there any difference between the mean scores of boys and girls on the six dimensions of the Biology attitude questionnaire? Is there any difference between the mean scores of students’ of different age classes (grade levels) on the six dimensions of the Biology attitude questionnaire? Lastly, what...

...to work on my multiple choice more. The chapter study guides and the pogils were helpful. The chapter study guides made me see what I had to study more specifically and made me read the textbook. The pogils also helped me with knowing what to study and the people that were in my group helped me with the problems. Next semester, I plan on reading the textbook more carefully and buying the review books to study. I will also pay more attention in class. I look forward to learning about animal form and function, but it might give me some trouble since there is a lot of memorization to do. Learning about the body is really intriguing, but there is a lot of information. I will start studying for the AP exam at the beginning of March. I will probably review each topic for a week or two. I will do as many practice AP multiple choice questions and problems as I can find. I will rewatch the AP Biology videos made by Paul Anderson. I am very anxious and excited for the new semester. The AP exam is coming up soon and I will put as much hardwork and dedication as I can to achieving a 4 or a 5 on the exam. ...
