Question
Answer
Reliability   The occurrence is guaranteed E.g a clock that is out by 3 minutes, will always be 3 minutes out. This is guaranteed that despite not being accurate the time will still show only 3 minutes out.  
🗑
Validity   Is it testing what you think your testing  
🗑
Independent Variables   The changed/altered part of an experiment in order to complete the experiment. (There should only be one independent variable for a valid experiment)  
🗑
Dependent variables   What changes when the independent variable changes. The dependent variable changes in accordance with the outcome of the independent variable  
🗑

🗑
Mixture that settles out quickly   A Suspension  
🗑
What is an emulsion   A mixture of two or more immiscible(unblendable) liquids

🗑
2 main solvents in medications are   1: Water 2: Alcohol  
🗑
Why are water and alcohol used as solvents   Water: Used with substances that need to flow as it is a highly soluble substance Alcohol is used as an alternative to water and is better used for fatty and oily substances that water has a harder time dissolving  
🗑
Stomach pH level   between 0.5 and 2 (acidic)  
🗑
Roles of stomach   Secretes Gastric juice to dilute acid Muscular layers churn and digest food  
🗑
pH of the small intestines   roughly 8 (alkaline)  
🗑
Role of small intestines   To Secrete digestive enzymes digest fats Products of digestion are absorbed into bloodstream  
🗑
Tablets that dissolve in the small intestines   Enteric coated tablets  
🗑
Fat soluble vitamins   A,D,E,K ( remember as a word it helps) ADEK  
🗑
Water soluble vitamins   B!, B2, B12 and C ( remember all the B's count 1 and 2 than put them together for 12 and than think oranges :P )  
🗑
3 ways for drug administration   Orally Inhalation Injection  
🗑
SA node or Sinoatrial node   Specialized cells in the right atrium of the heart, send electrical impulses causing the heart to beat  
🗑
UHMWPE   Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene and is used in Large replacement joints  
🗑

🗑
Biomedical implants must be   Bio compatible, highly durable, flexible and as lightweight a possible  
🗑
Heart valve disease where blood flow is limited to the body is called   atherosclerosis  
🗑
The job of the Skeleton system   1: To sustain movement 2: To hold muscle in place 3: protect organs and holds organs in place  
🗑
Ligaments   Bone to Bone or Bone to cartlidge  
🗑
