-stasis - CORRECT ANSWER-Controlling, stopping
Peri- - CORRECT ANSWER-Around, surrounding
Hypo - CORRECT ANSWER-Less than
Hyper - CORRECT ANSWER-Greater than
Epi- - CORRECT ANSWER-Above, upon
Pariet- - CORRECT ANSWER-Any "wall" (in a cavity or organ)
Visc- - CORRECT ANSWER-Thick, resistance
Base - CORRECT ANSWER-Accepts H+ from a solution; donates OH- ions to a solution, pH of 8 to 14
Acid - CORRECT ANSWER-A substance that increases the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution, pH of
6 to 1
pH scale - CORRECT ANSWER-Measurement system used to indicate the concentration of hydrogen ions
(H+) in solution; ranges from 0 to 14
Ion - CORRECT ANSWER-An atom or group of atoms that has gained or lost one or more electrons, thus
acquiring a charge
Isotope - CORRECT ANSWER-An atom with the same number of protons and a different number of
neutrons from other atoms of the same element
H OLE 'S A NATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY E XAM 1 (C HAPTERS 1-3) QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
, Ipsilateral - CORRECT ANSWER-Structures on the same side of the body -- ie left arm and left leg
Contraleteral - CORRECT ANSWER-On the opposite side of the body
Mediastinum - CORRECT ANSWER-Central compartment of the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, the
great vessels of the heart, esophagus, trachea, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve, thoracic duct, thymus, and
lymph nodes of the central chest
Hydroxide - CORRECT ANSWER-(OH)-
Hydronium - CORRECT ANSWER-H3O+
Pinocytosis - CORRECT ANSWER-Cellular "drinking"; a type of endocytosis in which the cell takes fluid
and dissolved solutes into small membranous vesicles
Phagocytosis - CORRECT ANSWER-"Cell Eating" of large particles; process in which phagocytes engulf
and digest microorganisms and cellular debris
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER-A tendency to maintain a balanced or constant internal state; the
regulation of any aspect of body chemistry, such as blood glucose, around a particular level
Negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWER-A primary mechanism of homeostasis, whereby a change in a
physiological variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial change.
Positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWER-A physiological control mechanism in which a change in some
variable triggers mechanisms that amplify the change
Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWER-The science of the structure of living organisms
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWER-The science of processes and functions of organisms
