Stop stressing over the PNB 2274 final. This comprehensive 49-page digital question bank contains every major topic from the entire semester, organized with correct answers and detailed explanations. Designed to mirror exam difficulty, this resource turns complex physiology and anatomy concepts into easy-to-remember Q&A pairs. What's Inside (Complete Semester Coverage): Section 1: Foundations of Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy vs. physiology (structure vs. function) Anatomical position, directional terms (superior/inferior, proximal/distal, medial/lateral) Body planes (coronal, transverse, midsagittal) Homeostasis & control systems (negative vs. positive feedback) Section 2: Membrane Transport & Cell Biology Passive transport (simple diffusion, osmosis, facilitated diffusion, bulk filtration) Active transport (primary vs. secondary, Na+/K+ pump) Fick's law of diffusion Channels, carriers, and pumps Section 3: Tissue Biology 4 major tissue types: epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous Epithelial characteristics (cellularity, polarity, attachment, avascular, regeneration) Gland types: merocrine, apocrine, holocrine Cell junctions: tight, adhering, desmosomes, gap Connective tissue: loose (areolar, adipose, reticular) & dense (regular, irregular) Cartilage (hyaline, fibrocartilage, elastic) & bone (compact vs. cancellous) Section 4: Bone & Skeletal System Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes Osteon (haversian system) structure Bone mechanics: stress-strain curves, yield point, toughness, stiffness, elasticity Axial vs. appendicular skeleton Joint types: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial (plane, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, ball-and-socket) Section 5: Nervous System CNS vs. PNS, brain protection (meninges, BBB, CSF) Cerebrum lobes (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal) & functions Broca's area, Wernicke's area, arcuate fasciculus Basal nuclei, diencephalon (thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus) Limbic system (amygdala, hippocampus) Brainstem (midbrain, pons, medulla) & cerebellum Memory types (explicit vs. implicit, short-term vs. long-term) Cranial nerves I-XII (functions: sensory, motor, or both) Ascending & descending tracts Sensory receptors (thermoreceptors, mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, photoreceptors, nociceptors) Pain pathways: gate control theory, neospinothalamic tract Vision: cornea, iris, lens, retina, rods vs. cones, phototransduction Section 6: Neurophysiology & Membrane Potentials Resting membrane potential (Nernst equation, Goldman-Hodgkin-Katz) Depolarization, hyperpolarization, repolarization Action potentials vs. graded potentials Temporal vs. spatial summation Synaptic transmission (voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channels, ligand-gated channels, GPCRs) Why This Guide Works: All correct answers provided – no guessing, no wasted time Clear Q&A format – perfect for active recall and self-testing Complete coverage – from basic anatomy to complex neurophysiology Memory aids included – the infamous "Does this class suck? – yes" opener (we feel you!) Perfect For: University of Connecticut (UConn) PNB 2274 students Pre-med, nursing, PA, PT, and health science majors Anyone needing to master anatomy & physiology for a cumulative final Format: Digital PDF (Instant Download) – 49 pages, ready for tablet annotation or printing

ANSWERS ALL GRADED A+



Does this class suck? - ans.... -yes


Anatomy - ans.... -structure


What are the walls of blood capillaries composed of? - ans.... -thin epithelium


Simple squamous


Gross anatomy - ans.... -what we see with the unaided eye, superficial and deep
structures


Microscopic anatomy - ans.... -requires magnification


Cytology - ans.... -study of cells


Histology - ans.... -study of tissue


Physiology - ans.... -function


The structure of capillary walls, - ans.... -promotes nutrient and waste exchange

,Inferior-superior - ans.... -below- above


Rostral- caudal - ans.... -front- back


Anterior - posterior - ans.... -front- back


Ventral- dorsal - ans.... -front-back


Medial -lateral - ans.... -towards middle- away from middle


Proximal- distal - ans.... -nearer the trunk or attached end/farther from the trunk
or point of attachment


Superficial -deep - ans.... -toward and away from the body surface


Coronal - ans.... -divides into front and back


Transverse - ans.... -divides into upper and lower


Midsagittal - ans.... -divides into left and right


Homeostasis - ans.... -the tendency of an organism to maintain a stable internal
environment even though the external environment changes

,Homeostatic control systems - ans.... -monitor the internal environment and
correct as needed


Cellular level - ans.... -local control


Organ and organism - ans.... -reflex control, long distance signaling


3 major components of a control system - ans.... -input (input signal)->controller
(integrating center)-> output (output signal)


The integrators - ans.... -control centers


Integrators - ans.... -possess a set point


Set points - ans.... -can be modified. A fever regulates back to set point,
acclimatization regulates environmental temperature


Full response loop - ans.... -stimulus-> sensor ->input -> integrating center ->
output ->target -> response


Heart rate homeostasis is an example of - ans.... -antagonistic homeostasis control


Sympathetic nerves - ans.... -increase heart rate


Parasympathetic nerves - ans.... -decrease heart rate

, Glucose homeostasis - ans.... -2 primary hormones


Insulin - ans.... -lowers blood glucose levels


`glucagon - ans.... -raises blood glucose levels


Feedback - ans.... -process in which some part of the output of a system is
returned to its input in order to regulate its further output


Open loop control system - ans.... -control unit ->driver -> motor


Closed loop control system - ans.... -control unit ->driver -> motor -> circles back


Negative feedback loops - ans.... -a feedback loop in which a system responds to a
change by returning to its original state, or by decreasing the rate at which the
change is occurring.




Occurs when the output of a system acts to oppose changes to the input of the
system. Shut off original input


Example of negative feedback loop - ans.... -body temp rises ->body sweats more -
>body temp drops


Most common type of feedback loop? - ans.... -negative feedback
