Are there episodes about respiratory, excretory, digestive, and nerve systems? I realized that there are 8 animal systems included in ap exam... most likely.... so... I am just hoping to learn them 2.

Hey,I suggest you go onto YouTube or GoogleVideo and look up these systems.P.S.-Try to find one from a college/university or other reputable source.Hope this helps.

Due to time limits, I wasn't able to cover everything, so I tried to focus on the key things that the AP Bio test tends to ask questions on or that I thought were harder to get. I did try to sneak some of the respiratory system's info into the circulatory system, such as the function of the alveoli, etc. For the test, I'd also skim your textbook and know about the different kinds of respiratory interfaces-simple skin breathers like jellyfish, complex skin breathers (with capillaries) like earthworms, internal gills(fish)/external gills(some amphibians), tracheal systems (tubes in the body cavity) like insects, or book lungs in spiders.For the excretory system, the key thing to know are the parts of the nephron in the kidney, watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glu0dzK4dbU or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEXx5YLcGmQ&feature=related ; Don't get too confused by vocab, basically, the capillaries let stuff leak out, then the tubes reabsorb nutrients, H2O and salts, leaving the waste

Oops, hit submit early. To continue:the cerebellum helps with coordination and balance, the thalamus/hypothalamus do a lot of autonomic control esp. by controlling the pituitary gland's hormones, the cerebrum does sensory analysis and complex thought.  Know the basic functions of the lobes, and know the general structure of the eye and inner ear. At the cell level, neurons=nerve cells, receptors=sense detectors, glial cell=helper cells.  Dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives signals (like your ears), the axon sends signals out (like your mouth).  Signals can travel along a neuron's membrane as an Action Potential, a sequential in/out movement of Na+ & K+ (sort of like sending signals by doing the Wave in a stadium).  Myelin is a fat that can be used to speed this process up in saltatory conduction by making the signal jump from nodes along the membrane. An axon signals the next neuron by releasing neurotransmitter molecules that stick to receptor proteins.
