35. Where (name one good example) would elastic connective tissue be found (in large quantity)?

36. Where (name one good example) would elastic connective tissue be found?

37-40. What bone(s) articulate with the scapula? [note: just because this is worth 2 points does NOT mean that there are necessarily exactly 4 bones in the answer! Points will be taken for bones included incorrectly and for bones omitted.]

41-48.

Write the letter(s) corresponding to the body cavity in which each of the following is found -- more than one letter may be required for some structures -- some letters may be not used at all -

        stomach
        spleen

        heart
        urinary bladder
        brain
        kidney
        ovary

III. Briefly describe the distinguishing characteristics and give two examples of each of the following categories of bone: (4 pts each)

long

cuboidal

irregular

odd

flat

Part IV: Draw (sketch) a cross section of skin. Include in your diagram AT LEAST the following list of structures. For each structure you draw, identify it, and briefly describe its function. 5 epidermis layers, hair & its associated structures, 2 types of gland, blood vessels, 3 nerves (or nervous tissue) structures, 3 different types of connective tissue, indicate where you would expect to find melanocytes. 20 points

V. Short answer [6 points each]: Be brief, focussed, and complete. A drawing may help illustrate a point. However, a drawing by itself is NOT an explanation - be sure to state what you are trying to illustrate!

1. Briefly describe the two ways cartilage grows. Why does it grow so poorly in the adult? EXTRA 2 pts: Why do you think it forms faster than bone during development?

2. Choose two different types of epithelial tissue. Describe their structures, and compare them to show how each structure is specialized to accomplish its specific function.

bonus: Write a question that you studied for, and forgetful me, I neglected to ask. Answer your question. PLEASE ask yourself something you can answer well! PLEASE answer the question you actually ask. [up to 5 points awarded based on question & answer]
