Refer to Figure 5.  The histology sections at the bottom of this figure come from two different regions of the kidney showing different structures of the nephrons and associated blood vessels.  NAME Kidney region A: [a] NAME Kidney region B: [b] Identify TWO structures found in A but not in B: [c]

Refer to Figure 1.  The model labeled B shows organs of the respiratory tract that contain cartilage, but specific types of cartilage have different functions.  What type of cartilage is present in organ #12? [a] What is the function of this cartilage? [b]

Refer to Figure 4.  Each of the histology sections labeled A through K includes both a ‘zoomed out’ view of the organ to show important tissue structures and diameters of these ‘tubes’ as well as a ‘zoomed in’ view below it to show the detail of the epithelial linings in these tubes.  Fill in each of the blanks to NAME the organs for the labeled tissue sections. 1/2 credit if you name the correct organ system but not the correct organ.  Organ Section A: [a] Organ Section B: [b] Organ Section D: [d] Organ Section F: [f] Organ Section H: [h] Organ Section K: [k]

Refer to Figure 1.  The head model in sagittal view (A) has organs from both the respiratory and digestive tracts. Using your knowledge of these systems and the typical materials moving through these passageways, identify the TYPE OF EPITHELIUM that would be found at the numbered locations below Epithelium at Site 1:  [1] Epithelium at Site 5:  [2] Epithelium at Site 8:  [5]

Refer to Figure 2. Several muscles may be activated when breathing. IDENTIFY one muscle labeled on image B that is responsible for breathing the EXPIRATORY RESERVE (forceful exhalation). INCLUDE A NUMBER from the figure that marks that muscle for full credit.
