In this lecture, Professor Diamond conducts a review of previous lectures including areas of the respiratory system, nervous system, vascular system, as well as hematology and cardiology. Her review takes the format of a quiz as she goes through slides and asks students to identify parts of the slides as well as answer multiple choice and true or false questions. Questions involve topics such as the hyelin cartilage, the trachea, lungs, bronchi, and how emphysema affect the alveoli and breathing, as well as astrocytes, the types of synapses, ventricles of the brain, ependymal cells, the hypothalymus, superior and inferior colliculi, the substantia nigra and its role in Parkinson's disease, hippocampus, and ganglia. She continues with questions regarding the testicular and ovarian arteries, the carotid and middle cerebral arteries, the liver, the vertebral artery, atherosclerosis, the function of an angioplasty, the function of an endarterectomy, tissue identification including pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium, lymph nodes, and normoblasts and reticulocytes in the blood. She concludes by asking identification questions regarding the nerve cells, oligodendrocytes, myelin, nissl substance, dendrites, the semilunar valves of the heart, as well as nasal and tonsil functions.
