| Physiology is defined as the study of the _____of a living organism. | function |
| The total number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the number of | protons in its nucleus |
| Electrolytes are | called cations if they have a positive charge |
| The atomic number tells you the | number of protons in the nucleus |

| The joint between the pubic portions of each coxal bone is the | pubic symphysis |
| Fibrocartilage can be found in the | symphysis pubis |
