Hello Ichthyophiles!
Please note that our second lecture exam will be held on Thursday,
October 9
.
The exam will cover all material presented in lecture through
Tuesday, October 7.
Specifically: lecture packets #4 (Musculature, Functional
Morphology of Locomotion, Buoyancy Regulation), #5 (Circulation, Ventilation,
Gas Exchange), #6 (Homeostasis: Thermoregulation and Osmoregulation), and
#7 (Sensory Arsenal – Mechanoreception only).
Study Guide and Example Questions
The following guide should be helpful in preparing you for Exam #2.
Provided below are
examples
of the material to be covered and different question formats that may
appear on the exam.
I encourage you to work through the study guide, referring
