RE: June 8th Itec A&P

THANKYOU!!!! SO SO MUCH!!!!
YAY!!!:D

RE: June 8th Itec A&P

Thanks for taking the time out to post these, much appreciated.

Vicki

RE: June 8th Itec A&P

Just wanted to add another thank you for writing up the questions.. I have my A&P exam a week on Thursday and am panicking lots so appreciate all the help I can get!

This site is proving to be so useful for revision so thanks Rose Hip and to all that have taken the trouble to add questions.. Will make sure I add my own questions after my exam..

Evie x

RE: June 8th Itec A&P

Rosehip you're a star, many thanks for posting this for everyone! Hope you did really well too!

RE: ITEC A&P Exam

Hi Stargirl,
Sorry for not getting back to you before now, was mad busy in work! Would you believe it I got the same paper as you for A&P just a few little differences - so thank you so much for your help! I am not sure about the Massage theory paper though, it was a bit strange - a lot of samey questions! One question was what was massage used for in the first and second world wars! I put to aid circulation but not sure if this is correct - I only hope I managed to scrape a pass on this one as it did confuse me a bit! How have you been since your exams? I now have so much time on my hands I don't know what to do!

Take care,

Hil

RE: June 8th Itec A&P

Rose Hip,

Thank you so so much. We seem to be a few days behind you in West Sussex - took the A&P today and the questions were very similar.

Anyone who has yet to take the exam my advice would be just go through all the papers that have been posted on here as they do vary them. All of us lot taking A&P today had a variety of papers at the same time but the theme is the same.

So, firstly don't panic.

Secondly read the questions and (trust me) you will not believe how much you know (providing you have done all the papers posted here).

This time last week I was in panic mode. Did Reflexology theory, Business Essentials, Reflexology practical and then today the A&P.

Last night was the only night I could not sleep.

But all I can say to anyone reading this is :-

go through all the questions people more clever than me who have remembered what they were have posted

- print all the questions out

go through them - read round the questions

what you don't know, read up on

and when you turn that paper over I promise you you will have a big grin on your face because there does seem to be a theme and you will be amazed at how many questions you can answer

And do not forget that you can amend your answer BUT YOU MUST INITIAL IT - one of my classmates changed her answers and forgot to initial so she will not get any marks for those questions.

READ THE FRONT OF THE PAPER

I finised in 20 mins and that included going over it all a couple of times and everyone in my class left after 30 mins. (We all had the benefit of this website)

Thank you thank you thank you

It's good to look back, but don't stare

RE: June 8th Itec A&P

Rosehip, thanks so much for taking time and for remebering these questions, I have my A&P on 24th...this site and kind people like you who have posted all these past papers have helped me tremendously......thank you.....and I really hope you pass with flying colours x x [sm=nature-smiley-008.gif]

A&P Exam June 23rd

Hi Guys..

Have just sat my A&P ITEC Exam so thought I would try to write up some of the questions... I was far more positive before I turned over the paper than when I read the questions- the exam seemed to be far harder than any previous papers I have seen and not sure if I have passed but fingers crossed I may have scraped through and if not then I guess I can re-sit in October

Heres the ones that I can remember and I will try to write up some more tonight..

Which gland do we seldom have as adults?
Pituitary, Thyroid, Thymus or one other

What determines the size of the breasts?
The muscle under the breast, adipose tissue, elastic tissue or the size of your rib cage? (still don't know the answer to this one!)

What action would you be doing if you were to point your toe to the sky?
Dorsiflexion, supination and two other silly answers!!

Which is not part of the brain stem?
Cerebrum, Misbrain Pons Varolli or Medulla Oblongata

What is responsible for coughing, sneezing and vomiting?
Cerebellum, Pons Varolli, Medulla Oblongata or Mid Brain

Which part of the brain is responsible for memory?
Cerebellum, Cerebrum, Midbrain or Pons Varolli

What is the function of Pluera?
To prevent friction and other options I can't remember!!

What is a enlarged Thyroid?
Graves disease, Goitre and two others!

What muscle would you use to paint a ceiling (Thanks Tranquillity!!)
Trapezius, Levator Scapulae, Deltoid or Teres Major

How many walls of the heart are there?
2,3,4 or 5

There were obviously a lot more questions (some very long!) but I can't remember them right now but will take a read through the book and try to right up some more.. There were no questions on the nervous system which was quite disappointing as I am fine with that as well as hardly any questions on the bones.. Was hoping scapula, clavicle or zygomatic would come up, nor were there any questions on tissue types or similar! I did feel that many of the questions were asked in a way that could confuse you quite easily and had more than one answer but I can't do anything about it now apart from to get my fingers crossed and wait for my results..

Thanks to everyone that has previously posted questions and boo to ITEC for asking silly questions!!

Hope these help someone and Good Luck to all that are sitting their exams soon

Love Evie xxx

RE: A&P Exam June 23rd

Hi Evie,

Thank you so much for posting these questions. I will be sitting my A&P next week and after reading through these questions I am totally horrified now. 🙁 It would be great if you remembered some more questions - I can certainly do with any help I can get. This exam is most definitely getting to me [:@]

I keep my fingers crossed that you passed!!!

Thanks again.

Son

RE: A&P Exam June 23rd

Hi Evie,

I am sure you have done well.

IN answer to the breast question I think it is adipose tissure (i.e fat) based on this statement from a web page that I have found

Fat fills the spaces between the lobules. The size of a breast is determined more by the amount of fat tissue than glandular tissue, so breast size has little to do with its ability to produce enough milk after childbirth.

The gland you seldom have as an adult is the Thymus (it tends to disappear after childhood).

Trapezius is used to paint the ceiling (from Mel cash Concise book of muscles)

Enlarges thryroid - isn;t that goitre?

I assume there are three walls of the hear endocardium, myocardium and pericardium?

The medullas oblongatat is he refelx control whuch coughing etc. is a type of reflex.

Cerebrum is not part of the brain stem.

How am I doing so far - My A&P exam is next week!!

Thanks for posting the questions

RE: A&P Exam June 23rd

Hi Son

Thanks, I can't wait to get my results now and hopefully a certificate in with them!!! I have been a bag of nerves for the last week so I know how you feel, I couldn't even drive to college I was that bad but it's just one hour and you will find that you remember more than you think you know so try to relax as I am sure that helps

I can't remember all the questions with answer choices but I hope the following helps

What are the lymp nodes in the groin called - Inguinal

What is the sphincter at the entrance of the stomach called - Cardiac

Whats digests starch in the duodenum - Think its Amylase but best to check

What does a lack of red blood cells cause - Anaemia

What joint does the Atlas and Axis form - Pivot

Where are the tonsils (or similar wording)- Pharynx

What is internal respiration?

A question about Homeostasis (strange wording to get to a simple answer though!)

Where would you find the genetic code?

What contains waster material or secretions in the cell?

How does the skin control temperature?

Where is the Risorius?

What happens during Telophase?

Hepatic-Portal vein question (sorry can't remember the exact wording!)

What is Cancer of the lymphatic system called?

Where does re-absorption in the kidneys take place?

Where does the right shoulder drain into (Lymp!) ?

And I think thats about it for now

Good luck - I am sure you will be fine

Love Evie x

RE: A&P Exam June 23rd

Absolutely perfect Mel 😉

I have found out all the answers now (afterwards not being the best time to find out though) and I am hopeful I have more right than I first thought so now I've checked my answers in my L Tucker book it is going to go somewhere safe for a while and be replaced with Heat magazine.. At least until next course starts!!!

Good Luck with your Exam

A& P exam

Here are some questions I can sort of remember from my exam a few weeks ago.
1. Where is a chemoreceptor? = the aorta (one of the choices)
2. When does the spindle threads disappear = during the telephase
3. There was a question about skin and two of the choices that stood out were that the skin was waterproof or another choice was one that the skin absorbs chemicals through the dermis. The correct answer is that the skin is waterproof as the skin absorbs chemicals through the epidermis and not the dermis. A trick question this one.
4. What does lipase do? = dissolves fat
5. There was a question on respiration with the circulatory system.
6. What is coughing, sneezing = reflex.

I will send some other ones later. Got to go now.

13. When acne vulgaris = adolesence
14. When do not do facial massage = acne rosea
15. What do lymph not do = produce red blood cells
16. what muscle forehead = frontalis
17. muscle flexes head and turns from side to side = sternocleidomastoid
18. Where is pituitary = in the skull
19. gamate, how many chromosomes
20. action bringing towards body = adduction
21. Fibrositis = due to inflammation = lactic acid
22. Where does fertilisation take place = in the fallopian tubes
23. Where are the ovaries = below fallopian tubes
24. There was a question concerning the muscle transverse abdominius but cant remember what it was
