| What 4 elements make up about 96% of the material in the human body? | 1. Carbon 2. Oxygen 3. Hydrogen 4. Nitrogen |
| What is the octet rule? | Atoms with fewer than 8 electrons in the outer energy level attempting to lose, gain, or share electrons with other atoms to achieve stability. |
| What is the difference between the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER)? | RER: Has ribosomes attached to the surface giving it that appearance. SER: Lacks ribosomes. RER: Synthesizes and transports proteins SER: Lipid production, detoxification, and calcium storage. |
| What is the difference between microvilli, cilia, and flagella? | Microvilli - fingerlike projections that increase the surface area of absorption. Cilia - fine processes that transport fluid across the surface of the cell. Flagella - single elongated processes that enable cell mobility. |
| What are the four major types of tissues of the human body? | Epithelial, Connective, Muscle, and Nervous |
| What are the 3 most common types of Epithelial membranes? Give an example of each. | 1. Cutaneous (skin) 2. Serous (parietal, visceral, pleura, and peritoneum) 3. Mucus/mucosa (Lining of the organs that open to the exterior) |
| What are the 3 major types of bone cells? | 1. Osteocyte (bone maintainer) 2. Osteoblast (bone maker) 3. Osteoclast (bone-destroyer) |
| What cell is mainly found in cartilage? Also, why does cartilage take so long to heal? | Chondrocyte Cartilage is avascular and relies on diffusion for nutrients. |
| What are the 3 major muscle types and note if they are voluntary and striated. | Skeletal: striated voluntary Smooth: nonstriated involuntary Cardiac: striated involuntary |
| What are the different layers of the skin starting from the deepest? | Stratum basale -> Stratum spinosum -> Stratum granulosum -> Stratum lucidum -> Stratum corneum |
| How many bones are in the human body and how is the skeleton divided? | Axial skeleton - 80 bones Appendicular skeleton - 126 |
