hypertonic or hypotonic solutions.
◉ chapter 4. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to analyze the relationship of structure and function in
epithelial tissues.
◉ chapter 5. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to compare the cell layers in the epidermis.
◉ chapter 6. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to determine the roles of osteoblasts and osteoclasts in bone
tissue
,◉ chapter 7. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles in determining if bones are associated with the axial or
appendicular skeleton.
◉ Chapter 8. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning to
distinguish body movements
◉ chapter 9. Answer: the student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to describe how the thin and thick myofilaments interact in the
sliding filament mechanism for muscle contraction
◉ chapter 10. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to determine origins and insertions of muscles.
◉ chapter 11. Answer: the student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to determine the function of myelin.
◉ chapter 12. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to distinguish the layers of the meninges.
◉ chapter 13. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning to
determine the function of cranial nerves
,◉ chapter 14. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning to
determine how the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
affect the heart.
◉ chapter 15. Answer: The student will use scientific reasoning and
principles to follow the neural pathway for vision.
◉ anatomy. Answer: study of the structure (form) of body parts and their
relationship to one another
◉ physiology. Answer: study of function the body parts; how they work
to carry out specific tasks life sustaining activities
◉ metabolism. Answer: a state of change
chemical reactions that occur within the body cells
◉ anabolism. Answer: synthesizing more complex cellular structures
from simpler substances
◉ catabolism. Answer: breaking down of substance into simpler
building blocks
◉ homeostasis. Answer: the maintenance of relatively stable internal
conditions despite continuous changes in environment
, ◉ homeostasis (2). Answer: A dynamic state of equilibrium, always
readjusting as needed
Maintained by contributions of all organ systems
◉ negative feedback. Answer: Most used feedback mechanism in the
body
Response reduces or shuts off original stimulus causing the variable to
change in opposite direction of the initial change
◉ ex of negative feedback. Answer: Regulation of body temperature or
blood glucose by insulin
◉ positive feedback. Answer: Response enhances or exaggerates the
original stimulus
May exhibit a cascade or amplifying effect as feedback causes variable
to continue in same direction as initial change
◉ ex of positive feedback. Answer: enhancement of labor contractions
by oxytocin
platelet plug formation and blood clotting
◉ histology. Answer: microscopic study of tissues
