I dont see the content we need for our final exam, we require renal physiology, acid-base balance, and gastrointestinal physiology. I dont see acid-base balance at all.

hey, is there a practice exam or anything i can use to practice? i have been going through the practice questions in the doc but I would love to practice more! my exam is up to unit 7.

for our final exam we study the last three modules: the last three are renal physiology, acid-base balance, and gastrointestinal physiology. I haven't seen a lesson on acid-base balance... am I missing something or is that not apart of what you cover?
