Nursing ATI TEAS 7 Test / Certified Q&A (NEW)
Terms in this set (265)
3 Main layers of the skin epidermis (contains melanocytes, which affect skin
pigment), dermis (contains hair follicles, nerve endings,
blood vessels, glands), and hypodermic (or subcutaneous
layer)
3 Main Secretions of the pepsinogen (chief cells), mucus (goblet cells), and hydrochloric
Stomach acid (parietal cells)
3 Types of Muscle Tissue skeletal (striated, strong, associated with voluntary muscle
movement), smooth (non-striated, associated with
autonomic nervous systems, "involuntary movement"),
and cardiac (heart muscle, striated, has internal
pacemaker)
Active immunity natural immunity results when a person is directly
exposed to a pathogen and produces antibodies
through the body's immune response
Acute angles angles <90 degrees
Adaptive immune system both reacts (cellular response; fights pathogens) and remembers
(humoral response; antibodies)
Adenosine Triphosphate a compound that provides energy to cells. It is needed
(ATP) for muscle movement. It is generated from food by
mitochondria
Afferent Neuron transmit sensory information to the CNS
Allele one of two or more versions of a gene. Individual inherit
two alleles for each gene, one from each parent. The
dominant allele is the stronger one, and the recessive
allele is the weaker.
,Alveoli tiny, thin-walled air sacs at the ends of the smallest
bronchioles where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged
Antecubital front of the elbow
Area the amount of space within the boundary of the shape
Argument a point the author believes
Arteries thick-walled blood vessels that carry blood away from the
heart to deliver oxygenated blood to body tissues
Atom the fundamental unit of matter and the smallest unit that
retains the properties of a chemical element. The nucleus
(core) of an atom contains neutrons (neutral) and protons
(positive. Electrons (negative) are outside the nucleus in
"pathways" called orbitals (electron cloud). They increase in
energy as they get farther away from the nucleus.
Atomic Number defined by the number of protons. All atoms of the same
element have the same atomic number
Atomic weight number below the element's symbol in the periodic table,
measured in atomic mass units (amu)
Atria the two upper chambers of the heart
Autonomic Nervous controls involuntary movement such as heart rate and
System rhythm, digestion, and respiration
Axillary armpit
Balance instrument used to measure an object's mass
Bias tendency toward a preconceived idea
Bonds strong attractive forces between elements and compounds that
are continually being created and broken. Chemical reactions are
the breaking and formation of chemical bonds
, Brachial arm
Bronchi main passageways directly attached to the lungs; they subdivide into
smaller and smaller branches
(bronchioles)
Buccal cheek
Capillaries smallest blood vessels made of a single layer of endothelial
cells which form networks to connect the arterial and venous
systems and exchange materials between blood and the
body's tissues. In the lungs they connect with alveoli for gas
exchange
Cardiovascular/Circulatory moves blood through the body to transport oxygen,
System nutrients, chemical messengers, and immune molecules and
to remove waste
Carpal wrist
Catalyst chemical that accelerates a chemical reaction by
decreasing the activation energy needed for the
reaction
Cell the basic structural and organizational unit or organisms
Cell division cells can be created only by preexisting cells. The two types of cell
division are mitosis and meiosis
Celsius to Fahrenheit (C x 1.8) + 32
Central Nervous System brain and spinal cord
(CNS)
Cephalic head
Cervical neck
Chromosome a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in
the nucleus of most living cells. Humans have 22 pairs plus a
pair of sex chromosomes (XX for women, XY for men), for a
total of 46 chromosomes.
