BIO 201 EXAM 1 (GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY) WITH WELL DETAILED SOLUTIONS –
GRADED A+
What is gross anatomy
...branch of anatomy that deals with the structure of organs and tissues that are visible to
the naked eye.
Define embryology, cytology & microscopic anatomy
...Embryology- development before birth, Cytology- cells of the body, Microscopic
Anatomy- structures to small to be seen with naked eye
Oils have many types of which type of bonds
...double bonds- non polar molecules
Functions of prostaglandins
...Activation of the inflammatory response, production of pain and fever. When tissues are
damaged, white blood cells flood to the stie to try to minimize tissue destruction.
Prostaglandis are produced as a result
What type of food is best for athletic performance
...raw fruits and vegtables
What are negative feedback mechanisms
,...is a series of reactions or process that migrate a change or disturbance within a system
to get it back to an equilibrium state.
What are tissues
...any of the distinct types of materail of which animals or plants are made, consiting of
specialized cells and their products
The role of thyroxine in our body
.. is the main hormone secreted into the bloodstream by the thyhyroid gland. It plays a vital
role in digestion, heart and muscle function , brain development, and maintance of bones.
Know the Levels of Organization (Pg 3)
...Chemical-atoms combine to form molecules , Cellular-cells are made of of molecules,
Tissue-tissues consist of similar types of cells, Organ-organs are made of up diffrent types
of tissues, Organ System-organ systems consist of different organs that work closely
together, Organismal- the human organism is made up of many systems
What is the anatomical position
...facing up
Know some things that occur in the MTA
, An RBC put in pure water would do what
...osmosis will occur where the water would move into the cell as its water concentration is
less then the souronding enviorment. due to the amount of water absorbed by the cell it
would then burst
What is a gene
...a unit of heredity that is transfered from a parent to offspring and is held to determine
some characteristic of the offspring.
What are positive feedback systems, give examples
.. It encourages a process or amplifies the action of a system. This will continue until
Negative Feedback takes over. Ex. during labor a hormone called oxytocin is released that
intensifies and speeds up contractions. The incresse in conractions casues more oxytocin
to be release and the cycle goes on until the baby comes. The birth ends the release of
oxytocin and positive feedback.
What is lipolysis
...the breakdown of fats and other lipids by hydrolysis to release fatty acids
What is negative nitrogen balance
...this means the intake of nitrogen in the body is greater then the loss of nitrogen from the
body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein. Negative Nitrogen Balance is
associated with burns, serious tissue injuries, fevers
