Science and Anatomy Section Overview:
- Total Time: 60 minutes
- Total Questions: 250
Human Anatomy & Physiology (18 questions):
- General orientation of human anatomy.
- Anatomy and physiology of major systems such as:
- Respiratory system
- Cardiovascular system
- Digestive system
- Nervous system
- Muscular system
- Male and female reproductive systems
- Integumentary system
- Endocrine system
- Urinary system
- Immune system
- Skeletal system
Biology (9 questions):
- Cell structure, function, and organization.
- Relationship between genetic material (DNA, RNA) and protein structure.
- Application of Mendel’s laws of inheritance.
- Structure and function of macromolecules (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids).
- Role of microorganisms in disease.
Chemistry (8 questions):
- Basic atomic structure including protons, neutrons, electrons.
- Physical properties and changes of matter (states of matter, phase changes).
- Chemical reactions (balancing equations, types of reactions).
- Factors affecting chemical reactions (temperature, concentration, catalysts).
- Properties of solutions (solvents, solutes, concentration).
- Concepts of acids and bases (pH scale, acid-base reactions).
Scientific Reasoning (9 questions):
- Basic scientific measurements and tools (metric units, laboratory equipment).
- Application of logic and evidence to scientific explanations.
- Predicting relationships among events, objects, and processes.
- Applying the scientific method to interpret a scientific investigation (hypothesis, experiment, data analysis, conclusion).
Tips for Preparation:
- Review Anatomy and Physiology: Focus on understanding the structure and function of major human body systems.
- Study Biology Concepts: Cover cell biology, genetics, macromolecules, and microbiology.
- Understand Basic Chemistry: Know atomic structure, chemical reactions, properties of matter, and solutions.
- Practice Scientific Reasoning: Work on applying scientific concepts, measurements, and logical reasoning to solve problems and interpret data.
- Use Study Resources: Utilize textbooks, online courses, practice tests, and flashcards specifically designed for the TEAS 7 exam.
- Practice Time Management: During practice tests, simulate the actual exam conditions to improve your pacing and time management skills.
By focusing on these key content areas and practicing regularly, you can enhance your readiness and perform well in the Science and Anatomy section of the TEAS 7 exam.
