BIOL 252 Lab: Cumulative Exam Study Guide
This document provides key objectives and tips to help you prepare for the cumulative portion of
the final lab exam. The final lab exam will total 125 points and will include 50 points in
identification and 75 points from word questions. The exam will have 50% of its questions pull
from Labs 7 and 8 with the remaining 50% coming from Labs 1-6.
Objectives for the Final Exam (a good place to start):
--- Identify the major structures from each lab. We will not get into fine detail here, but you will
need to know major takeaways and key structures from each lab.
--- Explain the pathways through the body including but not limited to: neural pathways to and
from the brain, path of gametes to the external world, path of a food bolus through the GI tract,
etc.
--- Connect functional components of the body with regional location. In other words, how does
the location of the stomach in relation to other structures affect its function.
--- Identify which structures of the body can be viewed along which planes of cut.
–-- Explain how different structures of the body are controlled by spinal and cranial nerves.
--- Try to connect different systems together: Bone and muscles, muscle and nerves, and bone
and nerves. (Cranial nerves are a good start.)
--- Go through the objectives for each lab if you are stuck on where to start. Review material
from Complete Anatomy, the lab text, and your TA’s PowerPoints.
--- Use the practice questions attached here or write your own from the lab manual. BIOL 252L
