the body is cut in a mid-transverse section and is now separated into two parts that may be called Superior-Inferior
A cross section of an artery would look like hollow circle
the most inferior body cavity is the pelvic cavity
the most superior body system is the Integumentary system
A tissue found on the surface of an organ must be a epithelial tissue
A tissue that causes contractions of the stomach to mix food with gastric juice may be a type of muscle tissue
the tissue that enables you to think and answer all of these questions is Nerve tissue
A tissue that supports body parts or transports materials within the body is a type of connective tissue
Homeostasis means that the internal environment of the body is relatively stable in spite of the constant changes
the two organ systems that regulate body functions by means of impulses and hormones are the nervous and endocrine
the two organ systems that are most responsible for protecting the body against pathogens are the integumentary and lymphatic
what is NOT an aspect of the anatomy of an organ function
to describe abdominal locations more precisely, the abdomen may be divided into? 4 quadrants
a feedback mechanism that contains its own brake is called negative
a feedback mechanism that requires an external brake is called positive
the disadvantage of a positive feedback mechanism is that it may become self-perpetuating cycle that causes harm
which area is not part of the upper limb inguinal
which area is not part of the trunk of the body frontal
the metabolism of the body includes breathing and any chemical reaction or physical change
with respect to the normal values of metabolism, the best way to describe them is a range of possible values, from low to high
the cell organelles most directly associated with cell division are the centrioles
the hereditary material of cells is ____________, which is found in the ______________ of the cell. DNA/chromosomes
the major structural parts of a cell are the cell membrane, nucleus, cytoplasm
the cell organelle most directly associated with the production of cellular proteins is ribosomes
the cellular transport mechanism that depends upon transporters or carrier enzymes in the cell membrane is facilitated diffusion
the cellular transport mechanism that depends upon blood pressure is filtration
a water-salt solution with the same salt concentration as in cells is called isotonic
Mitosis produces cells that have the diploid number of chromosomes, 46 for people
Meiosis produces cells that have the haploid number of chromosomes, 23 for people
the organic molecules in the cell membrane that forms pores and receptor sites for hormones are proteins
Meiosis is necessary to produce egg or sperm cells
Mitosis is necessary to produce growth or repair tissues
the function of Motile Cilia is to sweep materials across a surface
the nucleus of a cell regulates the activities of a cell by means of the genetic material it contains
the function of the Golgi Apparatus of a cell is to synthesize Carbohydrates
Diffusion is defined as the movement of molecules from an area of greater concentration to an area with lesser concentration
A gene is the genetic code for one protein
the complementary base pairing of DNA is A-T and G-C
the complementary base pairing of DNA with mRNA is A-U and G-C
Human cells that usually do not undergo mitosis in an adult are nerve cells and muscle cells
the cell organelle most directly associated with the destruction of damaged cellular proteins is the proteasome
the function of the microvilli of cell is to increase the surface area of the cell membrane
in the body, the process of diffusion is responsible for the movement of oxygen and CO2
a cell that has the potential to develop into several different kinds of cells is a stem cell
the cells lining the small intestine absorb glucose and amino acids by the process of active transport
an endocrine gland has no ducts
an example of an exocrine gland is the salivary gland
the type of epithelium in which the surface cells alternate from round to flat transitional
the type of connective tissue with a solid matrix called plasma is blood
axon, dendrite, and cell body are the three parts of a neuron
the type of connective tissue with a solid matrix made of calcium salts is Bone
the type of muscle tissue also known as voluntary muscle is Skeletal
the membrane that lines the digestive tract is mucous membrane
the serous membrane that lines the thoracic cavity is the Parietal pleura
in the fallopian tube, an egg cell is moved toward the uterus by ciliated epithelium
to increase their surface area for absorption, columnar cells in the small intestine have microvilli
the strong tissue that forms tendons and ligaments is fibrous connective tissue
the type of epithelium that makes up the outer layer of skin is stratified squamous
the tissue that is thin enough to form capillaries and permit exchanges of materials is simple squamous epithelium
the type of muscle tissue that produces a significant amount of body heat is skeletal
Cardiac muscle is found in the heart only
the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord is meninges
the space between two neurons where a neurotransmitter carries the impulse is called a synapse
the unicellular glands that secrete mucus in the respiratory tract are goblet cells
the type of muscle tissue that provides peristalsis in the intestine is smooth
the tissue that transports nutrients and oxygen throughout the body is blood
the type of connective tissue that stores excess energy in the form of fat is adipose
the membrane that lines a joint cavity and produces fluid is the ____________ membrane synovial
the tissue in the wall of the trachea that keeps it open is cartilage
the type of connective tissue beneath mucous membranes that contains many white blood cells is areolar
