For the Final Exam, remember!!
Be sure to print your name and student number on your computerized answer form.
On the computerized answer sheet you must:
(1) print your name and student number; In the section where you bubble in your name, print and bubble in
LAST NAME, then FIRST NAME.
(2) on the section marked “Grade or Education”, mark 1 (if you do not do this, the exam cannot be graded).
(3) mark the appropriate bubbles for both your name and your student number.
Forms without a name or student number cannot be graded. DO NOT put down a false student number.
Please read every question carefully and completely before you answer. There is only one correct answer for
each question. Choose the best possible answer. There are both short answer questions and multiple choice
questions.

IMPORTANT CONCEPTS AND THEMES THAT COULD BE IN EITHER MULTIPLE CHOICE, SHORT
ANSWERS, OR ESSAYS.
This list is BY NO MEANS COMPLETE AND INCLUSIVE. It is only meant to give you an idea of the major
themes I feel are important. Essentially, anything in your notes is fair game. If in both your notes and the lab or
the reading, it is very likely to be on the exam.
A. Cranial nerves: know all 12 by number, name, function, dorsal root vs. ventral root vs. special sense,
foramina of passage through the skull. Use the huge table I gave you in class to help study for this.
B. Brachial plexus: know the major five terminal nerves of the plexus and the muscles they innervate.
C. Major muscle groups of the arm/upper limb: Attachment of limb to body, shoulder muscles, attachment
across elbow, attachment across wrist.
D. Major muscle groups of the arm/upper limb: branchial, axial, dorsal appendicular or ventral
appendicular?
E. Bones of the skull: know major bone, major components of each bone, and the embryological derivation
of each (including mode of formation and germ layer of origin)
F. Major blood vessels the supply (arteries, circulosus arteriosus cerebri and its branches) and drain (veins,
venous sinuses) the interior of the skull.
4
G. Major muscles of the mandibular arch, name, function, attachment, and innervation.
H. Major muscles of the hyoid arch, name, function, attachment, and innervation.
I. Major foramina of the skull.
J. Be able to compare similarities and differences of the neck and the body.
K. Ectodermal placodes and what thy give rise to in the head.
