ALHS 1011 MIDTERM EXAM REVIEW
integumentary system - Answers - organ system that includes hair, skin, and nails and
protects the body from pathogens and maintains homeostasis
skeletal system - Answers - organ system composed of bones and cartilage that
provides for movement, support, and protection
Muscular System - Answers - organ system consisting of muscles, fasciae, tendon
sheaths and bursae whose primary function is movement and flexibility like pushing
food, blood and contracting the heart.
nervous system - Answers - The organ system that controls, regulate and interpreting
stimuli. The organs of this system are brain, spinal cord, cranial, nerves, sensory and
motor structures
endocrine system - Answers - Consists of glands that control many of the body's
activities by producing hormones.
cardiovascular system - Answers - The transport system of the body responsible for
carrying oxygen and nutrients to the body and carrying away carbon dioxide and other
wastes; composed of the heart, blood vessels, and blood.
lymphatic system - Answers - organ system that returns fluids that have escaped from
cells to the blood and also assists with immunity (spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils)
respiratory system - Answers - organ system that carries out gas exchange; includes
the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs
digestive system - Answers - The organ system that is made up the mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. This system converts food into absorbable
substances and eliminates waste.
urinary system - Answers - The organs that control the discharge of certain waste
materials filtered from the blood and excreted as urine. The organs are kidneys, ureters,
bladder and urethra.
reproductive system - Answers - Reproduce offspring- produce male sex cells (sperm)
and female sex cells (oocytes) organs female - ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus and
vagina . organs male - testes, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, penis and urethra
Nucleus - Answers - the brain of the cell the nucleus directs cell activities and contains
genetic material called chromosomes made of DNA
, Mitochondria - Answers - Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP
(energy) production
Ribosomes - Answers - Makes proteins
Golgi apparatus - Answers - stack of membranes in the cell that modifies, sorts, and
packages proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum
Lysosome - Answers - contains digestive enzymes to help break down food - suicide
agent
Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) - Answers - The transportation system of the cell. It moves
materials around the cell
Vacuole - Answers - Cell organelle that stores materials such as water, salts, proteins,
and carbohydrates
concepts of body temperature and what regulates it - Answers - hypothalamus regulates
body temperature and homeostasis is your body's state of normal and it is always trying
to get back to that balanced state.
dorsal cavity - Answers - contains organs of the nervous system that coordinate the
body's functions/ cranial cavity brain -spinal cavity spinal cord
ventral cavity - Answers - located along the front of the body, contains the body organs
that sustain homeostasis - heart, lungs, mediastinum
abdominopelvic cavity - Answers - contains both the abdominal and pelvic cavities -
kidneys, stomach, liver, gall bladder, small & large intestines, spleen, pancreas, ovaries
and uterus
Parietal - Answers - pertaining to the wall of a cavity
visceral - Answers - covers the internal organs
epithelial tissue - Answers - Tissue that covers outside of the body and lines organs and
cavities.
simple tissue - Answers - single layer of cells
stratified tissue - Answers - type of tissue that occurs in multiple layers - and on the
outer layer protects the body against microbial invasion
Pseudostratified - Answers - This type of epithelial tissue appears to have multiple
layers but all cells are in contact with the basement membrane
