ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 7TH
EDITION ELAINE N MARIEB TESTED
QUESTIONS AND COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
◉ Solution
Answer: Homogeneous mixture of two or more components
◉ Solvent
Answer: Dissolving medium, typically water in the body
◉ Solutes
Answer: Components in smaller quantities within a solution
◉ Interstitial fluid
Answer: Fluid that fills the spaces between most of the cells of the
body and that provides a substantial portion of the liquid
environment of the body.
◉ Intracellular fluid
Answer: Fluid within cell membrane; aka cytoplasm +
nucleoplasm
◉ Selective Permeability
,Answer: Plasma membrane allows some materials to pass while
excluding others; influences movement into and out of the cell
◉ Interphase
Answer: The period in the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing.
Cellular metabolic activity is high, chromosomes and organelles
are duplicated, and cell size may increase. Accounts for 90% of the
cell cycle.
◉ Cell Division
Answer: Cell replicates to produce more cells for growth and
repair process
◉ DNA Replication
Answer: Genetic material is duplicated and readies a cell for
division into two cells, occurs toward the end of the interphase.
◉ Mitosis
Answer: In eukaryotic cells, a process of cell division that forms
two new nuclei, each of which has the same number of
chromosomes
◉ Prophase
Answer: First part of cell division in which centrioles migrate to
the poles to direct assembly of mitotic spindle fibers, DNA
, appears as double-stranded chromosomes, and the nuclear
envelope breaks down and disappears
◉ Metaphase
Answer: Second stage of mitosis, in which chromosomes are
aligned in the center of the cell.
◉ Anaphase
Answer: Third phase of mitosis, during which the chromosome
pairs separate and move toward opposite poles, cell begins to
elongate.
◉ Telophase
Answer: Final stage of mitosis during which chromosomes uncoil
to become chromatin, nuclear envelope reforms around each new
set of chromosomes, spindles break down and disappear.
◉ Cytokinesis
Answer: The final stage of the cell cycle. Division of the cytoplasm
begins when mitosis is near completion. A cleavage furrow forms
to pinch the cells into two parts, results in the formation of two
daughter cells.
◉ Superior (cranial or cephalad)
Answer: toward the head end or upper part of a structure or the
body; above
