, Edition History for "1700+ Review Questions for Anatomy and Physiology I"
August, 2005, R. Michael Anson: First edition.
The questions were written one topic at a time during the summer of 2005. Students in a class which
I was teaching were given access to them, and the positive feedback led me to the decision to
compile them into this document at the end of the course. I would be happy to receive feedback,
positive or negative, or to learn of errors that may be present: my email address is .
November, 2005: R. Michael Anson: Second edition.
A "note to the student" was added to the preamble, explaining basic study skills relevant to the use of
this question bank.
A "Study Skills" section was added as an introduction to the use of this question bank.
Language of Anatomy
#6: answer changed from "microscopic" to "microscopic anatomy"
Changed all limb-related questions which had "proximal" as an answer to read "proximal (or
superior)."
Changed all limb-related questions which had "distal" as an answer to read "distal (or inferior)."
Appendicular and Axial Skeleton
Moved questions 87 and 88 from appendicular skeleton to axial (they were misclassified in original
placement, as they dealt with the development of the spine).
Cell Overview
Inserted missing figure on question 76.
The Axial Skeleton
Questions 90 and 91: "thoracic" was a typo, and has been replaced by "lumbar."
The Appendicular Skeleton
Corrected a spelling error in question 11 (corocoid --> coracoid).
Corrected a spelling error in question 22 (to --> two).
Muscles
This section was completely revised to emphasize the prime movers in each motion, and the section
renamed to reflect this change.
Nervous Tissue
Corrected the answer to #84.
CNS
Modified question 45 to include a reference to the corpus callosum.

, April, 2006: R. Michael Anson: Third edition.
Bones and Skeletal Tissue
Corrected the answer to question 32 to be "dense irregular connective tissue"
Appendicular Skeleton
Question 23 was corrected to read, "The medial bone of the forearm is the ."
Joints
The answer to #85 was corrected to read, "bursae."
Muscles: Prime Movers
Corrected a misspelling in the answer to question 63.
Corrected a misspelling in question 65.
Nervous Tissue
Deleted questions 126 - 129 in Nervous Tissue, which were essentially trivial, and re-numbered
those remaining.
Special Senses
A clear distinction is now made between receptor cells and receptor proteins.
Question 106 was corrected to refer to the middle, rather than inner, ear.
