4 types of tissues found in the body correct answer epithelial, connective, muscle,
nervous
abdominal cavity correct answer Contains stomach, intestines, spleen, and liver,
and other organs
abdominopelvic cavity correct answer abdominal cavity and pelvic cavity
Abnormal curves of the vertebrae correct answer Kyphosis (thoracic curve),
Lordosis (lumbar curve), Scoliosis (lateral bending).
Acid correct answer any compound that forms H+ ions in solution
Adenine pairs with correct answer Thymine
,Agonist muscle correct answer The muscle primarily responsible for movement of
a bone.
Anabolism correct answer Constructive metabolism; the process of building up
larger molecules from smaller ones
Anaphase correct answer Phase of mitosis in which the chromosomes separate
and move to opposite ends of the cell
Anatomy correct answer The study of body structure
Anatomy of a long bone correct answer Diaphysis, epiphysis, epiphyseal plates,
epiphyseal line
Antagonist muscle correct answer The muscle opposite the agonist, which must
relax and lengthen during contraction of the agonist.
Anterior (ventral) correct answer front of the body
Anteriror (ventral) correct answer front of the body
Apoptosis correct answer programmed cell death
Apoptosis correct answer programmed cell death
,Association area of brain correct answer Areas of the cereral cortex that are not
involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involve in higher
mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking and speaking. (huge
part of brain!)
atomic mass correct answer Number of protons and neutrons
atomic number correct answer the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
atrophy correct answer (n.) the wasting away of a body organ or tissue; any
progressive decline or failure; (v.) to waste away
Auscultation correct answer Listening with a stethoscope
autonomic nervous system correct answer the part of the peripheral nervous
system that controls the glands and the muscles of the internal organs (such as
the heart). Its sympathetic division arouses; its parasympathetic division calms.
Base correct answer A substance that decreases the hydrogen ion concentration
in a solution
blood-brain barrier correct answer Blood vessels (capillaries) that selectively let
certain substances enter the brain tissue and keep other substances out
Bones of tarsals correct answer calcaneus, talus, navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
, bones of the carpals correct answer scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform,
trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate
Bones that form pectoral girdle correct answer clavicle and scapula
Bones that form pelvic girdle correct answer ilium, ischium, pubis
Buffers correct answer Convert strong acids and strong bases into weak acids and
bases
bulk (vesicular) transport correct answer a type of active transport
large substances transported in vesicles
-endocytosis
-exocytosis
Callus correct answer Friction can stimulate the process and produce this. And
even thicker buildup of keratinocytes in the stratum corneum
Carbohydrates correct answer Broken down to glucose to provide energy. Provide
most of the energy needed for life and include sugars, starches, glycogen, and
cellulose
cardiovascular system correct answer Carries blood and nutrients to specific
locations, regulates body temp and water balance. Consists of heart, blood, and
blood vessels
