ACTUAL TEAS 7 2026 EXAM
Instructions
All answers are underlined and bold.
Questions
A cross made between parents that are heterozygous
at one specific gene <answer>In Mendelian inheritance,
what is a condition of an F1 monohybrid cross?
Acromial <answer>shoulder
adrenal glands <answer>Above the kidney that produces
hormones to regulate heart rate, blood pressure, etc.
,afferent fibers <answer>transmit impulses from organs to
CNS
amygdala <answer>this produces feelings such as anger,
violence, fear, anxiety
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) (Lou Gehrig's
Disease) <answer>neuromuscular junction is
compromised. Motor neurons degenerate and die leading
to loss of voluntary muscle movement.
Antebrachial <answer>forearm
anterior/posterior <answer>toward the front and back of
the body
apocrine sweat glands <answer>accessory structures of
the dermis that are in physical association with the hair
follicles, producing a secretion with an odor (that may act
as a sex pheromone in humans). Apocrine sweat has
higher concentration of fatty acids where bacteria use
apocrine sweat components as nutrients, they quickly
change its odor to one of rancid fatty acids.
,arteries <answer>Vessels that carry blood away from the
heart. These vessels are muscular to withstand the force
of a heartbeat and so feel pressure on their walls. Larger
arteries branch into smaller arterioles, which connect to a
bed of capillaries.
Atherosclerosis <answer>buildup of plaque in blood
vessels that reduces the flow of blood through the vessel.
atria (heart) <answer>superior chambers; receive blood
from outside heart
autonomic (visceral) nervous system
<answer>involuntarily controls the visceral muscles of
organ systems like the digestive and cardiovascular
systems. Controls the contraction and relaxation of
visceral reflexes.
ex: digestion, heartbeat
axon <answer>the extension of a neuron, ending in
branching terminal fibers, through which messages pass
to other neurons or to muscles or glands
, Binds to receptor proteins on the sarcolemma, which
results in the opening of sodium channels
<answer>What is the function of acetylcholine in a
neuromuscular junction?
blood <answer>composed of plasma and formed
elements, such as erythrocytes, leukocytes, and platelets
Both salivary and pancreatic this are enzymes that
break down starch <answer>amylase
brainstem <answer>found between the thalamus and the
spinal cord. Lowest part of the brain. Supports
unconscious functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood
pressure.
branches of the abdominal aorta that supply the
kidneys <answer>renal arteries
calcium <answer>According to the sliding filament theory,
which ion binds with troponin on the actin myofilaments,
causing the myosin-binding sites to be exposed?
