Here is Jacquie’s powerpoint from today 6/10: the-cycle-of-life
Jacquie said to focus on labeling the structures of female reproductive system and the breast. Also, study the menstrual cycle phases (questions 13 & 14).
Barbara said to focus on review questions 1-7 and to be able to label a diagram.
Please let me know if you have any questions for me!
Good luck! You’re almost done

Here is the Powerpoint for the Urinary System. We made it to slide ten on Tuesday. urinary-system
Some important things that Barbara said:
Slide 5: Filtration has to have pressure. Think about a water hose. If you want it to go farther, you apply more pressure. We don’t want too much pressure though because it can damage the filter. If the filter is damaged, then Red Blood Cells and Proteins can get through and we don’t want that!
The body filters things out, pulls it back, and then picks and chooses what it needs.
See page 422 & 423 for visual.
Remember: afferent is going IN, and efferent is going OUT. (Think of “e” as “exit”)

Most of the information is in Cole’s study outline below, but I wanted to write a few more things that Barbara said in class.
Study the diagram on page 345, and be able to label a diagram on the exam. Keep in mind that Barbara mentioned things you must know and things you don’t have to know:
You don’t have to know: olfactory receptors, palates, opening of eustachian tube, hyoid bone, tonsils, thyroid cartilage, and cricoid cartilage.
You DO have to be able to label: sinuses, larynx, epiglottis, conchae (superior, middle, inferior), esophagus, trachea, nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx, nostril etc.
Page 348 — She said not to worry about pleural space for labeling because the diagram in the book is not very clear.
This page has pretty detailed practice quizzes that might help you:
