BBH 101 FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS| ALREADY PASSED
Biomedical Model ✅Suggests that illness always has a biological cause
*only focuses on pathogens and how people get sick
biobehavioral model ✅Recognizes biological, psychological, and sociocultural forces in
determining an individual's health and vulnerability to disease!
*a more "well rounded" view of health
Hypothesis ✅An educated guess
Theory ✅A hypothesis that has been tested with a significant amount of data
p-value ✅tells you the probability of obtaining your result if there really is no
relationship between the variables that you are testing (rules out the likelihood of
random chance)
*p-values of LESS THAN 0.05 are generally accepted as a significant finding (lower the
better)
Prevalence ✅The current number of current cases of something
Incidence ✅The number of new cases of something
Case study ✅Study of one patient
*useful for unique cases, but not really for finding out what causes a condition
cross-sectional study ✅Looking at data from a population at one specific point in time
cohort study ✅A study that measures variables of a certain group of people over time
case control study ✅People with outcome (cases) and without the outcome (controls)
are selected. Research is done to see how many people in each group had exposure to
some variable of interest
odds ratio ✅Tells how much more likely people with the exposure are to have an
outcome; a higher number equals a greater risk (compared to the group without the
exposure)
Relative risk ✅A measure of the risk of a certain event happening in one group
compared to the risk of the same event happening in another group
, Characteristics of good experimental designs ✅Randomization, replication and local
control
Phases of clinical trials ✅Phase 1: Is it safe? (safety/toxicity/pharmacokinetics)
Phase 2: Does it work? (efficacy, optimal dosing, AEs)
Phase 3: Does it work better than what we already have? (clinical trials, placebos,
compared to the standard of care)
Phase 4: Gather more info (Side effects, after approval)
emperical research ✅A careful, purposeful, and systematic observation of events with
the intent to note and record them in terms of their attributes, to look for patterns in
those events, and to make one's methods and observations public
literature review ✅a scholarly research step that entails identifying and studying all
existing studies on a topic to create a basis for new research
Meta-Analysis Review ✅Combines the results of several studies that address a set of
related research hypothesis
CNS ✅central nervous system; brain and spinal cord
PNS ✅Peripheral Nervous System, the sensory and motor neurons that connect the
CNS to the rest of the body
Made up of somatic (voluntary) and autonomic (automatic)
Autonomic is further divided into sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest
and digest)
Neurons and its parts ✅Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate
and transmit information
Dendrites- receives info (from other neurons)
Soma- integrates info
Axon- conducts info
Synaptic Boutons- transmits information (to other neurons)
hypothalamus and pituitary gland ✅The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland,
which is split up into 2 lobes
