Medical Terminology (NRHP 100) Test 1
Mcneese Exam Questions With Correct
Answers
cell - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-basic unit of all living things. The human
| | | | | | | | | | |
body is composed of trillions of cells, which vary in size and shape
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
according to function. | |
cell membrane - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-forms the boundary of the cell
| | | | | | | | |
Cytoplasm - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-gel-like fluid inside the cell
| | | | | | |
Nucleus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-largest structure within the cell,
| | | | | | | |
usually spherical and centrally located. It contains chromosomes for
| | | | | | | | |
cellular reproduction and is the control center and source of energy
| | | | | | | | | | |
production for the cell | | |
chromosomes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-located in the nucleus of the
| | | | | | | | |
cell. There are 46 chromosomes in all normal human cells, with the
| | | | | | | | | | | |
exception of mature sex cells, which have 23
| | | | | | |
,genes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-regions within the chromosome. Each
| | | | | | | |
chromosome has several thousand genes that determine hereditary
| | | | | | | |
characterisitics
DNA - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-comprises each gene; is a genetic material
| | | | | | | | |
that regulates the activities of the cell. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic
| | | | | | | | | | | |
acid
tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-group of similar cells that performs a
| | | | | | | | | |
specific function |
muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-composed of cells that have a
| | | | | | | | | |
special ability to contract, usually producing movement
| | | | | |
nervous tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-similarly specialized cells united
| | | | | | | |
in the performance of a particular function; found in the nerves, spinal
| | | | | | | | | | | |
cor, and brain. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling body
| | | | | | | | | | |
activities.
connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-connects, supports,
| | | | | |
penetrates, and encases various body structures. Adipose (fat), osseous
| | | | | | | | |
(bone) tissues, and blood are types of connective tissue that provides
| | | | | | | | | | |
strength and stability such as in ligaments and tendons.
| | | | | | | |
,epithelial tissue - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the major covering of the
| | | | | | | | |
external surface of the body; forms membranes that line body cavities
| | | | | | | | | | |
and organs and is the major tissue in glands. Glandular tissue is
| | | | | | | | | | | |
designed to secrete substances such as digestive enzymes.
| | | | | | |
organ - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-two or more types of tissues that
| | | | | | | | | |
together perform special body functions. For example, the skin is an
| | | | | | | | | | |
organ composed of epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue
| | | | | | | |
viscera - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-large internal organs contained in the
| | | | | | | | |
body cavities, especially in the abdominal cavity
| | | | | |
system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-group of organs that work together to
| | | | | | | | | |
perform complex body functions. For example, the cardiovascular
| | | | | | | |
system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. Its function is to
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
transport nutrients and oxygen to the cells and remove carbon dioxide
| | | | | | | | | | |
and other waste products
| | |
integumentary system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-composed of skin, nails,
| | | | | | | |
and glands. Forms a protective covering for the body, regulates body
| | | | | | | | | | |
temperature, and helps manufacture vitamin D| | | | |
respiratory system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-composed of nose, pharynx
| | | | | | | |
(throat), larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchial tubes, and
| | | | | | | | |
, lungs. Performs respiration, which provides for the exchange of oxygen
| | | | | | | | | |
and carbon dioxide within the body.
| | | | |
Urinary System - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-composed of kidneys, ureters,
| | | | | | | |
bladder, and urethra. Removes waste material (urine) from the body,
| | | | | | | | | |
regulates fluid volume, maintains electrolyte concentration.
| | | | |
reproductive system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Female reproductive
| | | | | |
system is composed of ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, vagina, and
| | | | | | | | | |
mammary glands. Male reproductive system is composed of testes,
| | | | | | | | |
urethra, penis, prostate gland, and associated tubes. Responsible for
| | | | | | | | |
heredity and reproduction.
| |
cardiovascular system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Composed of the heart
| | | | | | | |
and blood vessels. Pumps and transports blood throughout the body.
| | | | | | | | |
lymphatic system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Composed of a network of
| | | | | | | | |
vessels, ducts, nodes, and organs. Provides for defense against infection
| | | | | | | | | |
and drainage of extracellular fluid
| | | |
digestive system - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Composed of the
| | | | | | |
gastrointestinal tract which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach,| | | | | | | |
large and small intestine plus accessory organs, liver, gallbladder, and
| | | | | | | | | |
pancreas. Prepares food for use by the body cells and eliminates waste.
