Human Anatomy and Physiology Final Exam Study Guide

(Spring Semester)

You will be given a scan-tron for your final exam; and it will consist of 100 questions taken from ten chapters with questions. You are allowed to use your classroom notebook, lab reports, the matrix, note cards and even this study guide for the final exam. Good luck and make sure you study. Remember this is the end of the school year, so you need to do well on the final exam.
