| Which level of control operates at the cell level, often using genes and enzymes to regulate cell function? | intracellular regulation |
| To accomplish self-regulation, a highly complex and integrated communication control system or network is required. This type of network is called | feedback control loop |
| The impact of effector activity on sensors may be positive or negative. Therefore, homeostatic control mechanisms are categorized as | organs that are directly influenced by physiological variables or mechanisms. |
| In base pairing of DNA molecules, _____ is bound to _____. Correct! | adenine; thymine |
| Osmosis can be defined as | the net movement of water molecules from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration. |
| Replication of DNA occurs in which phase of interphase? | S phase |
| Which skin layer has cells that look prickly because of the desmosomes that join the cells together? | Stratum spinosum |
| The four kinds of protein that make up myofilaments are myosin, actin, | tropomyosin, and troponin. |
| Three phases of the twitch contraction are the | latent period, contraction phase, and relaxation phase. |
| Which structure allows the electrical signals to travel along the sarcolemma and move deeper into the cell? | transverse tubule |
| Which type of movement occurs between the carpal and tarsal bones and between the articular facets of adjoining spinal vertebrae? | gliding |
| According to the sliding filament theory | actin moves past myosin. |
| The energy required for muscular contraction is obtained by hydrolysis of | ATP |
| Synarthrotic joints are | immovable. |
| Anaerobic respiration results in the formation of an incompletely catabolized molecule called Correct! | lactate . |
