What This Document Is
This document represents an exam from Human Physiology (EEOB 2520) at The Ohio State University. Specifically, it’s the material covered on the Fifth Exam for the course. It appears to be a comprehensive assessment of key physiological systems and concepts discussed throughout the semester, with a strong focus on neural and sensory processes. This resource is designed to test your understanding of how the body functions at multiple levels of organization.
Why This Document Matters
This exam preparation resource is invaluable for students currently enrolled in Human Physiology at Ohio State, or those studying similar material in related courses. It’s particularly useful as a self-assessment tool to identify areas where further study is needed before a high-stakes evaluation. Reviewing the scope of this exam will help you prioritize your study efforts and ensure you have a firm grasp of the core principles. Accessing the full exam will allow you to practice applying your knowledge in a format similar to what you’ll encounter in the classroom.
Topics Covered
* Neurotransmitters and their functions
* The Autonomic and Somatic Nervous Systems
* Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous System regulation
* Sensory Receptor types and function
* Sensory transduction and coding of stimuli
* The role of ganglia in nervous system signaling
* Physiological responses related to specific sensory inputs (e.g., visual, respiratory)
* Afferent nervous system pathways
What This Document Provides
