6.0 / Lower
The UExcel Anatomy and Physiology examination is based on material typically taught in a two-semester, eight-credit, lower-level undergraduate sequence of courses in anatomy and physiology. The examination measures knowledge and understanding of the integrative mechanisms that contribute to the functioning of the human body. Topics include an overview of the human body, the chemical basis of life, dynamics of support and motion, integration and regulatory mechanisms, maintenance of the human body, the urinary system, fluid and electrolyte balance, and reproduction and human development. The examination assumes a familiarity with basic terms of biology and with concepts such as basic cell structure and function. (Multiple-choice examination.)

Using the practice questions: To help you study, a practice exam with two sets of questions is available for purchase with this exam. (See purchase details below.) Note there will be fewer questions on the practice exams. Generally, the practice questions will not be the same as the ones you will see when you take the actual exam for credit. They are intended to expose you to the types of questions you’ll encounter in the actual exam. Practice questions are a tool, and do not provide a full exam experience. For example, the practice question sets do not have time limitations. Begin with the Content Guide, especially the detailed content outline. Memorizing specific questions and answers on the practice sets is not as effective as using the questions to practice, along with the content outline, to see which concepts you may need to study further.
