QuestionAnswer
Which of the following is not a function of epithelial tissue: A. Protection B. Mineral storage C. Secretion D. Absorption B. Mineral Storage (This is a function attributed to bones, but not with epithelial)
Which type of epithelial tissue may be specialized and is found lining the stomach, intestines, and parts of the respiratory tract? Simple columnar. (it may have microvilli or cilia on the surface or have goblet cells positioned within depending on their function)
Which of the following is classified ad connective tissue: A. Bone B. Blood C. Fibrocartilage D. Adipose E. All of these above E. All of the above
Which type of muscle tissue is voluntary? Skeletal muscle tissue (Smooth and cardiac muscle tissue are involuntary muscle tissue
Which type of skeletal muscle is not striated? Smooth muscle tissue (skeletal is striated voluntary and cardiac is striated involuntary)
Name one way the skin helps to maintain homeostasis of body temperature. Heat loss via evaporation. (if the internal body is beginning to rise above the ideal zone, our skin will begin to sweat. evaporation of fluid required heat expenditure of heat energy.)
Give one example of a flat bone in the body. Skull (other examples include ribs. sternum, and pelvis)
Give one example of a long bone. Femur (other examples include humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, fibula, clavicles, and phalanges of hands and feet.
Protection is one of the main functions of the skeletal system, which of the following organs would not be protected by the skeletal system: A. Heart B. Lungs C. Brain D. Kidney's E. All of the above D. Kidneys (the brain is protected by the skull and the heart and lungs are protected by the ribcage. The kidneys however are semi-vulnerable bilaterally in your lumbar region)
Describe one difference between compact bone and spongy bone. Presence of osteons.' Compact bone contains osteons surrounded by central canals that run lengthwise through the bone, whereas cancellous or spongy cone have no osteons instead they have trabeculae.
Which type of marrow is found in almost all the bones of an infant or child's body and functions to produce red blood cells? Red Bone marrow (as a person ages red marrow is replaced by yellow marrow which is saturated with fat and no longer functions to produce red blood cells. in adults the ribs, bodies of vertebrae, humerus, pelvis, and femur still contain red marrow.)
Name the three different types of cartilage. Hyaline, elastic, and fibrocartilage.
Which type of cartilage is the most common and name one area it can be found. Hyaline and it can be found covering the articular surfaces of bones or in the rings of the trachea, bronchi of the lungs and tip of the nose.
Where can elastic cartilage be found? the external ear, epiglottis, and Eustachian tubes
Which bone is not part of the axial skeleton: A. Vertebrae B. Pelvis C. Ribcage D. Skull E. Sacrum B. Pelvis The pelvis is not considered part of the axial skeleton
Give one example of a bone in the appendicular skeleton Femur (also included in the appendicular skeleton: humerus, radius, ulna, pelvis tibia, fibula, clavicle(s), bones of the hands and feet)
Name the 5 regions of the spine starting with the region that articulates with the skull. Cervical (7 vertebra), Thoracic (12 vertebra), lumbar (5 vertebra), sacral (5 fused vertebra), and coccyx (4 fused vertebra)
which type of synapses are found where two cells are joined end to end by a gap junction. Electrical synapse
Which types of cells would you expect to find electrical synapse? cardiac muscle cells and between some types of smooth muscle cells.
What are the three structures that make up the chemical synapse? A synaptic knob, a synaptic cleft, and the plasma membrane of a postsynaptic neuron
Which of the following are classified as small-molecule neurotransmitters: A. Acetylcholine B. Amines C. Amino acids D. Nitic oxide E. All of the above E. All of the above
