COMPREHENSIVE BASED WITH
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT/VERIFIED
ANSWERS
Function of nervous system - ANS-✅-Control of body's internal environment to maintain 'homeostasis'
-Programming of spinal cord reflexes
-Memory and learning
-Voluntary control of movement
Positive & negative feedback - ANS-✅A positive feedback loop causes a self-amplifying cycle where a
physiological change leads to even greater change in the same direction.
A negative feedback loop is a process in which the body senses a change, and activates mechanisms to
reverse that change.
The name of the joint in the ankle - ANS-✅talocrural joint
characteristics of epithelial tissue - ANS-✅cellularity, polarity, attachment, vascularity, regeneration
Properties of synovial joints - ANS-✅**Hyaline cartilage, joint capsule, synovial membrane, synovial
fluid, ligaments**
-Involve movement between joints
The surface of the joint is covered by a fluid filled capsule.
-The synovial fluid is trapped under the synovial membrane and acts as a lubricant between the bones.
-Cartilage at the ends of the bone acts as a cushion and shock absorber.
3 protein fibers in connective tissues - ANS-✅collagenous fibers, elastic fibers, and reticular fibers.
chondroitin sulfate - ANS-✅provides support and adhesiveness in cartilage, bone, skin, and blood
vessels
Sacrum— illium - ANS-✅answer
Keratin - ANS-✅A fiber protein that is the principal component of hair, skin, and nails
Sweat glands location and function - ANS-✅Eccrine glands: help to maintain homoeostasis, primarily by
stabilizing body temperature. Smaller glands and excretes on top of skin ((feet, forehead, cheeks)
Apocrine glands: continuously secrete a fatty sweat into the gland tubule. ((armpit, groin, nipple area)
Hard palate bone - ANS-✅-formed by maxilla and palatine bones
The shaft of the bone is called - ANS-✅End-> Epiphysis
Middle/shaft -->>diaphysis
Articular process of bone - ANS-✅limits rotation
What happens during osteoclasts - ANS-✅Osteoclasts are responsible for aged bone resorption
osteoBlasts are responsible for new bone formation
5 steps of endochondral ossification - ANS-✅1. Chondrocytes enlarge and matrix begins to calcify
2. Bone formation starts at the shaft surface
3. Blood vessels invade inner region of cartilage
4. Osteoclasts begin to break down spongy bone in center
5. Centers of the epiphyses begin to calcify
Smallest unit (fiber) in skeletal muscle - ANS-✅Sarcomere
Steps that occur during muscle contraction - ANS-✅1)Action potential generated, which stimulates
muscle
2)Ca2+ released
