Exam 1 STUDY TIPS Hi BIO 201, I hope you are not feeling too overwhelmed with all of this information we are learning! I just wanted to check in with you regarding the first exam. Next due date period week 5, Exam 1 will be due. Complete and submit Exam 1. You may take the exam any day this due date period (Sunday-Saturday) at one of Rio Salado's Testing Centers or with your arranged proctor. Exams must be taken by no later than Saturday before the Testing Centers close for the day. Exam 1 covers all the material from Lessons 1, 2, 3, and 4. Topics include anatomical terminology, organ systems, levels of structural organization, basic biology and chemistry concepts, tissue structure and function, membranes, tissue repair, the integumentary system including appendages and homeostatic disorders, and the skeletal system. The exam consists of 90 multiple-choice questions and one essay question, and is broken into three sections. Parts 1 and 2 each contain 45 multiple-choice questions, and Part 3 contains one essay question. You will have 90 minutes to complete Part 1 and Part 2 (45 minutes for Part 1 and 45 minutes for Part 2), and 30 minutes to complete the essay response in Part 3. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the exam to help you keep track of your progress. On Exam 1, you will be presented with an essay question. The essay topic is bone growth, remodeling, and repair. You will be asked to compose an essay about bone growth, remodeling and repair.

1. A discussion about bone growth should begin with a comparison of intramembranous bone growth and endochondral bone growth. Be certain to review the types of cells involved (don't forget the role of cartilage) and the location of bone growth. 2. A discussion about remodeling should include the bone cells involved and what they do, as well as a mention about remodeling in response to stress. 3. A discussion about repair should list the steps in bone repair and the cells involved. An important component in writing the essay is the organization of the essay. It is important that essays are well organized, and stay focused on the question posed. Begin with an introductory opening paragraph. After the opening paragraph, address each of the questions presented in a separate paragraph. Finally, write a closing, application paragraph. The application paragraph is the area of your essay where you demonstrate your skill at applying scientific knowledge to your personal or professional life. This paragraph must reveal insight into the specific scientific principles studied, and give a detailed description of how the content is relevant. Please note: You may not use any notes, lessons, study aids, Web sites, or outside resources to compose your essay prior to the exam. You may only use the time allotted in the exam to compose your essay.

Grading of essays will be based on a rubric. Click scoring rubricPDF to review the expectations.

Please see the announcements on BIO 201 for further review of the application example requirements. The study hints I can give you are: there is a lot of information- study, study, study and don’t fall behind! Next, make sure you understand the concepts- don’t just memorize the information- it is very difficult apply concepts that are memorized and not clearly understood. I have listed the lesson objectives for you to use as a “blue print”- this is only a rough indication of what the exam will cover- as always, you are still responsible for all of the detailed readings and studies to prepare for the exam. Finally, you will not see the same questions from the quizzes on the exams- so when you study- study the concepts, don’t memorize the questions. Let me know if you have any questions, Nickie

LESSONS 1-4 OBJECTIVES Name (in order of increasing complexity) the different levels of structural organization that make up the human body, and explain their relationships. Identify organ systems of the body, and briefly explain their major function(s). Compare and contrast negative and positive feedback mechanisms, and describe the role of each in maintaining body homeostasis. Appraise the relationship between homeostatic imbalance and disease. Define anatomical terminology including anatomy, physiology, the anatomical position and body directions, regions, planes, sections, and cavities. Name the nine regions and four quadrants of the abdominopelvic cavity, and list the organs they contain. Classify epithelial tissue into specific types based on structure, location, histology, and function. Classify connective tissue into specific types based on structure, location, histology, and function. Describe the general characteristics of nervous tissue. Classify muscle tissue into one of the three types based on structure, location, and function. Compare and contrast the structure and function of cutaneous, mucous, and serous membranes. Describe the steps of tissue repair. Analyze the changes that occur in tissue from embryonic development throughout a person's lifetime. Describe the structure of the cell, and explain how it relates to the cell's function. Name the major layers of the epidermis and dermis, and describe their functions. Identify the following structures of the integumentary system and the function of each: melanin, sweat glands, oil glands, eccrine glands, apocrine glands, hair follicle, arrector pili, hair, and nail. Analyze how the skin accomplishes at least five different functions. Assess how homeostatic mechanisms in the body would respond to integumentary imbalances Explain how the structure of each type of cartilage relates to its function.

Classify bones according to their shape, location, structure, and function. Explain how the structure of each type of bone relates to its function. Identify the macroscopic and microscopic structures of a long bone. Create a flowchart illustrating the sequence of events involved in bone growth, remodeling, and repair. Assess how homeostatic mechanisms in the body would respond to skeletal imbalances...
