Ack!
Here's a random selection of the 40+ topics I need to know for my Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy class...the good news is that I only have 1 other final and it's a take-home...
What are the 3 major groupings of Cranial Nerves? Which cranial nerves are unique sensory nerves of the head and what are their individual functions? Which are “ventral" cranial nerves and what are their functions? Which are “Dorsal” cranial nerves and what are their functions.
Diagram and describe the 4 stages of the respiratory cycle in the lungfish Protopterus. Compare this with the 4 stage respiratory cycle in an adult amphibian. Compare the swim bladders of a physostomous species and physoclistous species. Draw and label the swim bladder of a physoclistous teleost. What it the Rete mirabile and the oval. How does the rete mirabile function? That is how does it manage to pump oxygen into the swim bladder even when the fish is at considerable depth.
Draw and label an embryonic mammal brain showing: Prosencepahlon, mesncephalon, rhombencephalon, mesencephalic flexure and cervical flexure. With what major sensory system are the 3 brain regions associated. What are the secondary divisions of the Prosencephalon and what are the adult derivatives of these divisions? What are the adult derivatives of the mesencephalon? What are the secondary division of the Rhombencephalon? What are the adult derivatives of these secondary divisions?
