Two examples from the VERY first set of questions in the Bio Book:
1. Nicotinic cholinergic receptors can be found at all of the following locations EXCEPT:
2. Visual field information is processed in which region of the brain?
For the first one, I focused on "cholinergic", and was looking for an answer choice that would be adrenergic. For the second one, as soon as I saw visual information, I immediately thought occipital lobe.
For the first question, the answer was understanding that the receptors on post-ganglionic parasympathetic neurons are MUSCARINIC not nicotinic...but neither of those words was even mentioned in the chapter.
Likewise, the answer for the second one was the parietal lobe, even though all the chapter says about the parietal love is "associated with tough and stretch sensation".
I know TBR passages often incorporate material from future chapters, but neither of those things seem like they would come up anywhere but in the nervous system chapter. They seem specific enough that I have a hard time believing this should be considered general background knowledge.
Has anyone run into this problem with TBR? What do you recommend doing about it, when no amount of reviewing the chapter would help me with either of those questions?
