20. Do you recognize and can you name all the bones of the axial skeleton (either articulated or disarticulated like in the practical quizzes), and in the appendicular skeleton?

21. Can you identify/name the suture lines in the cranium and tell the purposes of the fontanels that were once there?

22. Can you explain the purpose of some of the bony landmarks and features (ie. Pubic symphysis in women, olecranon fossa, atlas/axis, etc.)

Muscular System:

23. Do you know the seven classifications for naming muscles and given a name, can you identify its location/function/origin/etc.?

24. Do you recognize the anatomical places for the muscles we have learned and their actions (major action)?

26. Can you describe the major movements across a joint and the muscles that accomplish those actions/ (ie. Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, supination, pronation, etc.)

27. Can you identify the specific parts of muscles tissue (myofibril, endomysium, epimysium, fascicle, etc.)

Nervous System (CNS & PNS)

28. Can you identify the parts of a neuron (axon, dendrite, cell body, Scwhann cell, terminals, etc.)? Can you list the three different structural classifications of neurons? Can you name the three types of functional neurons? What are the main purposes of glial cells (supporting cells), such as the Schwann cell?

29. Can you locate and identify the four major regions of the brain? Do you know the parts that make up the diencephalons? The brain stem? Where are the ventricles and how many are there? Name the layers of meninges from outermost to innermost.

30. What are the main responsibilities of each section of the brain? Cerebrum? Cerebellum? Diecephalon? Brain Stem?

31. What are the main sections of the spinal cord? Can you differentiate between which side of the cord is sensory (afferent) and which is motor (efferent)? How many pairs of spinal nerves are there? What are the ventral rami for?

32. Can you name the four major nerve plexuses and the important nerves we learned from each of those plexuses?

33. Name the twelve pairs of cranial nerves and what are there major functions?

Special Senses

34. List and be able to identify the main structures on the ear model (inner, middle, and outer). Which section of the inner ear is for balance? Which part is for hearing? What cranial nerves control both sensory functions here?

35. Name the three tunics of the eye. Know the function of each main part (iris, pupil, cornea, lens, retina, humors, etc.) What are the two types of photoreceptors in the retina?

Endocrine System

36. What is the main purpose of the endocrine system? Name all of the important organs (glands) involved in this system. Be able to locate them on the body.

37. What are the two main classifications or types of chemical hormones? Why are the glands considered endocrine as opposed to exocrine?
