This work was previously published under a different title: 1700+ Review Questions for Anatomy and Physiology I Edition History for '1700+ Review Questions for Anatomy and Physiology I'(renamed from 4th edition onward to: “3600-Plus Review Questions for Anatomy & Physiology: Volume 1”) 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 anson@jhu.edu](is anson@jhu.edu) . 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 The Axial Skeleton Questions 90 and 91: 'thoracic' was a typo, and has been replaced by 'lumbar.'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. July, 2009, R. Michael Anson: Fourth Edition Changed title to “3600 + Review Questions for Anatomy and Physiology: Volume 1” In addition to the correction of many minor typographical errors (capitalization errors, etc. ), the following changes were made: Changed the original numbers to “unique ID” codes (UIDs) . Purpose: UIDs are needed by teachers who wish to correlate test banks in various formats (fill in the blank, multiple choice, T/F, etc. ) with the origina
