HONDROS ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 2
COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT 2026
COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
◉ growth hormone
Answer: A hormone released by the anterior pituitary that targets
all cells in the body. Growth hormone stimulates whole body growth
in children and adolescents, adn increases cell turnover rate in
adults.
◉ hypothalmus
Answer: Brain structure that acts as a control center for recognition
and analysis of hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger and body temperature
◉ potassium
Answer: K+
◉ cerebellum
Answer: A large structure of the hindbrain that controls fine motor
skills.
◉ aqueous humor
, Answer: fluid in the eye, found between the cornea and the lens
◉ sulcus
Answer: A narrow groove
◉ brain stem
Answer: Connection to spinal cord. Filters information flow between
peripheral nervous system and the rest of the brain.
◉ diencephalon
Answer: Contains thalamus and hypothalamus
◉ neurotransmitter
Answer: Chemical messengers that cross the synaptic gaps between
neurons. When released by the sending neuron, neurotransmitters
travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving
neuron, thereby influencing whether that neuron will generate a
neural impulse.
◉ acetylcholine
Answer: A neurotransmitter that enables learning and memory and
also triggers muscle contraction
