For regionals, you should probably just learn those and their functions. For state you will probably need to learn more. For nats, you should priabaly know how they all are made ad their functions. For state you probably should hypo/hyper secretion for the basic hormones, what the ysmptoms are and what disease that might be.

Ok. Thank you!

Hello,

Does Wallerian degeneration occur in both the PNS and CNS, or just the CNS? Wikipedia says both, a majority refer to it occurring in peripheral nerves.

Thanks,

It seems that it does occur in both. However, microglia recruitment is slow and oligodendrocytes fail to degrade the myelin/other debris, so WD occurs much slower in the CNS than in the PNS. I find it rather strange that many sites describe it as unique to the PNS, as peer reviewed articles like this one (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/articl ... ne.0041441) are studying its mechanisms in the CNS.

Hey, everyone! I'm sure you get this question often, but what resources do you recommend for this event? Our family owns a copy of Gray's Anatomy, but other than that not too many anatomical books. Do you recommend using Wikipedia in conjunction with other sites? Quizlet? I know that diagrams will be useful as well.

Thanks for your help- (I'm going to be heading to Missouri this weekend, and learned I'll actually be passing by Ladue for all you in MO!)

I know that I'm studying only the Div B topics, but Mader's Understanding of Huuman Anatomy and Physiology seems to cover all the topics that you need to know. Of course, it would be good to use more than one source. Wikipedia is good to start, and the more you look into online materials, you can find more sources. Grey's Anatomy is a good textbook as well.

Did anyone notice that the Mesa-Wilson invitational test on the test exchange doesn't have an answer key? I'd like to use it to study but I don't feel like researching every answer.

Yes, the key is definitely missing. However, some of the best studying occurs when you look for answers on your own. I would suggest taking the test anyway and putting in the effort to research the answers, because it will make learning and absorbing new information much easier.
Then again, if you're on a shortage of time, it's much better to just find a new one.

Hi,

Has anyone seen questions regarding the spinal nerves (other than the general gist of the plexuses) on any test so far? I'm debating whether I should spend a large amount of time on this, or move onto something more productive.

Thanks,

On my test, I did not. Although I did see plenty about cranial nerves.
