Ichthyology Study Guide for Exam #2
Fall 2014
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
to your lecture notes and textbook to ensure that you have command of the
material. Please feel free to contact me via email ( [email protected] ) should
you have questions. Best of luck with your preparation!
