Final Lab Practical Test
Zoology
Listed below are the items that might appear on the Lab Practical Final
Some General Hints for Studying:
·
Know the characteristic
cells/organs/structures for
each phylum. Also know their
functions
and composition as applicable.
·
Be able to connect organisms with
their
phylum
(everything), Class (most Phyla), Order (insects only), and
Genus
(prepared slides only)
·
Study the specimens, slides, and
dissections. Know the relevant
structures and their
functions. Also know anatomical
terms,
i.e. posterior, anterior, left, right.
·
You may use one 3x5 card of notes
(front
& back)
on this exam…they must be your own hand-written
notes. Diagrams are fine, but no computers, photocopying,
etc.
·
There will be stations throughout
the
classroom with
dissected specimens of the different invertebrates we have
studied in
the labs
this semester. You will be asked to answer questions based
on the
specimens.
o Slides of spicules and Grantia
o Sponge specimens
o Slides of Hydra, and Obelia
o Coral specimens
o Jellyfish specimens
o Planaria
