1. Know the body cavities and abdominal regions

2. Know the basic functions of the body systems from our Prezi presentations.
Example:
The cardiovascular system: a.
responds to internal and external changes by activating appropriate muscles and glands b.
Transports waste carbon dioxide from tissues to the respiratory system c.
synthesizes vitamin D d.
produces heat e.
secretes hormones that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use (metabolism) by body cells

3. What are the components of a homeostatic feedback loop and what do they do?
How can you identify a positive or negative feedback loop? Can you give an example of each.

4. What does anatomical position look like?
Remember the different anatomical directions. What about terms like anterior and ventral etc?
Know the body planes: midsagittal, transverse and coronal – alternate terms?

5. Know the body landmarks!!
The landmarks below are essential ones.
Olecranal, antecubital, carpal, patellar, popliteal, buccal, oral, occipital, nasal.

6. Lab experience and knowledge of systems, processes.
Effectors, sensors, receptors in blood sugar regulation?
How does insulin and glucagon get distributed to cells?
How does glucose enter the cells?
What type of protein carrier channels would glucose enter through?

7. How does the body regulate temperature?
Where is the sensor and the controller for body temperature?
What are the three main effectors and how do they achieve the homeostatic correction?

8. Make sure you understand active and passive transport.
Diffusion, Osmosis, Protein channels (2 types)
Pumps/ATP, Endocytosis, and Exocytosis

9. Which one of the following is NOT true about the cell membrane:
a. it consists of two phospholipid layers
b. it has both polar and nonpolar properties
c. it contains proteins for specialized functions
d. it regulates the entry and exit of cell materials
e. it is hydrophobic on the outer surfaces
f. It is hydrophilic on the outer surfaces

10. Two types of passive transport are:
a. osmosis and endocytosis
b. endocytosis and diffusion
c. diffusion and facilitated diffusion
d. osmosis and exocytosis
e. exocytosis and diffusion

11. A solution that contains fewer solutes than inside the cell is:
a. hypotonic
b. hypertonic
c. intravenous
d. isotonic
e. interstitial

12. A patient arrives in the hospital extremely dehydrated
A patient arrives in the hospital extremely dehydrated. In order to fill his cells with fluid, he should be hooked to a(n) _____ intravenous drip.
a. isotonic
b. hypotonic
c. hypertonic
d. either hypertonic or hypotonic
e. either isotonic or hypertonic

13. A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse (tear apart) in which of the following solutions:
a. hypotonic
b. hypertonic
c. intravenous
d. isotonic
