Hey guys, any idea if we need to know the structure of the molecules such as taurocholic acid and the table on slide 32 of the lipid disorders in BIOC today?

I would say with 99.9997% confidence that we do not have to know the structure of them at all. At max know what a fatty acid chain and a typical cholesterol molecule looks like.

That awkward moment when I don't even know wtf "taurocholic acid" is, asides from obviously being an chemical somewhere in the cholon.

Also, are we allowed to say "fatty" acid? seems a little non-pc is all, shouldn't we say like... overweight acids or something more medically appropriate if we're seriously looking at professional courses?

Also lul, I'm pretty sure we don't need to know what a molecule is, I couldn't see that anywhere in learning objectives. It's surprising actually. Nowhere did they say "Understand what a molecule is". They should really make this stuff more clear if they expect us to know that molecules look like a cholesterols.

I agree, someone got to the helpdesk and ask what we have to ACTUALLY know for the test.. Seems like they've given us far too much random info amongst the important stuff

Someone? I nominate you

I would imagine that in this case, they would expect us to know features of different enzymes that allow them to digest proteins, fatty acids and the like... and a few examples, rather than know exactly how each enzyme actually works like... (e.g. know that most work by cutting at different points and blah blah)

 

[Wongtong]

That email from the HUBS department was handy (telling you which questions you got wrong)

 

[hardwork]

Yes it was, wasn't it?

We got emails?

 

[Wongtong]

We got emails?

I know of one other on my floor who got an email as well, but no one else has gotten one -- not sure why!

This email has been sent to notify you of your results in the recent test.

The following lists the general subject area of each of the questions and
whether you got them right or wrong.

Correct answers: CACDBABEDECABEDDBCEDCAEDBD
Q2. concerned control of the flow of blood into the capillary bed. [HUBS 192
lecture 5 slide 5, Patton and Thibodeau, 7th ed. Fig. 18-14]
Q3. concerned the pattern of drainage from the lymphatic system into the
blood vascular system. [HUBS 192 lecture 5 slide 20, Patton and Thibodeau,
7th ed. p. 704-705]
Q4. This question related to the structures involved in the initiation of
contraction in the heart.
Q5. This question related to blood pressure values in health and disease.

Q6. This question related to the structures of the pulmonary circulation.

Q7. This question related to the cellular basis of conduction of impulses
through the heart.
Q8. This question was about the factors (equation) that influence (or are
used to calculate) mean arterial blood pressure.
Q9. This question was about the distribution of cardiac output.
Q10. This question related to cardiovascular compliance.
Q11. This question related to the control of the heart and blood pressure.

Q12. This question comes from Respiratory Anatomy Lecture 3 and tests the
student's knowledge of pleural membrane structure and terminology.
Q13. This question comes from Respiratory Anatomy Lecture 2 and tests whether
the student can follow the pathway of air from the nose into the lungs and
distinguish this pathway from that of food going to the stomach.
Q14. This question comes from Respiratory Anatomy Lecture 2 and reminds
students of the different roles of surfactant, produced in Type II alveolar
cells.
Q15. This question tests the students understanding of the composition of the
pseudostratified respiratory epithelium that is made up of ciliated and other
types of epithelial cells. This material is covered in Lecture 11,
Respiratory Anatomy Lecture 1, slides 13 - 16. Wrong
Q16. This relates to Tidal Volume as described in Lecture 15 Slides 21 and
23 and in Lecture 16 Slides 3,4,7,8 & 9
Q17. concerned breathing fundamental principles discussed in Lecture 14
Slides 17-32
Q18. concerned oxygen and blood discussed in Lecture 17: refer to - Formula
and example calculations in Slides 15, 17, 18 & 25
Q19. concerned how carbon dioxide is transported in the blood: refer Lecture
17 Slides 36 - 38.
Q20. concerned the control of ventilation: refer Lecture 18 Slides 24 - 26

Q21. concerned residual volume and vital capacity. This was discussed in
Lecture 15 with diagrams and sample calculations: refer Slides 17 - 31 .
Need to know what Vital Capacity is and how to determine volumes from basic
spirometric recording.
Q22. concerned airways resistance: refer Lecture 15 Slides 7-16
Q23. concerned the valves of the heart; see specifically [HUBS 192 lecture 3
slides 5-6, Patton and Thibodeau, 7th ed. p. 620 - 621]
Q24. concerned the blood supply to the heart; see [HUBS 192 lecture 3 slide
7, Patton and Thibodeau, 7th ed. p. 622 - 623]
Q25. required you to know the layers of the wall of a large artery and tissue
composition of them. [HUBS 192 lecture 4 slides 5-13, Patton and Thibodeau,
7th ed. Fig. 18-13]
Q26. concerned the major veins of the body. [HUBS 192 lecture 4 slide 3,
Patton and Thibodeau, 7th ed. Fig. 18-23]
Total correct: 23 out of 25
If you have any questions please contact Ruth Napper.

Thanks

Does anyone think that the GI anatomy lady and the GI physiology guy from today have a thing going on? All they do is talk about each other, the anatomy lady would mention Steven Condliffe every lecture ! AND, he called her by her.. FIRST NAME!

maybe he read your post, only mentioned her once or twice in the 5pm stream

That's a shame, I could see them as a cute couple..

 

[Profiterole]

Maori's out!!! (Finally!)

 

[Wongtong]

Still haven't gotten my mark back yet

 

[Nimbus2000]

Hope you all did well MAOR guys!!! (and also to the BSNS kids )

How did y'all go BSNSers?

ANYHOO, EXAM TIMETABLES ARE OUT!!!

[OFFTOPIC]Why am I so excited? No, not because I'm weird and exams make me happy I promise I GET TO BOOK MY TICKETS HOMEEEE [/OFFTOPIC]

 

[Wongtong]

Hey guys since the exam time table is out...

and I realised that I finish on the 6th of Nov. It is okay to book for a flight to go home on the 7th of Nov?

Hope everyone enjoy their break
