correct answers
A - CORRECT ANSWERS-bonds with U (RNA) or T (DNA)
Achondroplasea - CORRECT ANSWERS-dwarfism; caused by mutation in DNA
replication or inherited gene, long bones stop growing, large head, short limbs, curved
spine, abnormal conversion of hyaline cartilage to bone
acid - CORRECT ANSWERS-donates H+
active transport - CORRECT ANSWERS-opposes the movement of solutes by diffusion
and prevents the distribution of dissolved substances from reaching equilibrium; moves
a substance against a concentration gradient
Ex) sodium potassium pump- ion pump concentration gradients- moves Na+
continuously out the cell and K+ into the cell; must expend ATP to do this; maintains
electrochemical gradient which gives cell potential energy
anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS-study of structure and form; derived from Greek word
Anatome which means to cut apart or dissect; Anatomists study structure and form of
organims studying the relationships among parts of the body and the structure of
individual organs
anion - CORRECT ANSWERS-negatively charged ion
anterior - CORRECT ANSWERS-in front of
apocrine sweat glands - CORRECT ANSWERS-discharges sweat into hair follicle,
active in pubic and underarm regions, become active during puberty
appositional growth - CORRECT ANSWERS-occurs within the periosteum;
circumferential lamallae develop in the bone (like tree rings); medullary cavity forms in
center
arector pill muscle - CORRECT ANSWERS-muscle that alters hair position
, atoms - CORRECT ANSWERS-protons (+1 charge), nuetrons, and electrons (very little
weight)
atomic number is based on protons
amu is based on protons and nuetrons
base - CORRECT ANSWERS-donates OH-
basic qualities of life - CORRECT ANSWERS-organization- each organism has a
complex structure and order
metabolism- the sum of all chemical reactions to occur within a body; anabolism
(smaller molecules form larger) and catabolism (larger molecules are broken down to
smaller)
growth and development- each organism assimilates materials from its environment and
often grows and develops
responsiveness- ability to sense and react to stimuli
regulation- ability to adjust or direct internal bodily function in the face of environmental
changes- homeostasis- ability of an organism to maintain a consistent internal
environment
bone connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS-
Bone remodeling - CORRECT ANSWERS-bones replaced regularly eveery few years,
mechanical stress through exercise causes bone growth
branches of anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS-microscopic- structures that cannot be
observed to the unaided eye
(cytology- study of body cells and their internal structure;
histology- study of tissues)
gross anatomy- structures that can be observed to the unaided eye,; macroscopic
(systemic anatomy- anatomy of each body system;
regional anatomy- examines all of the structures in a particular region of the body as a
complete unit)
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6 CO2 +6H2O - CORRECT ANSWERS-equation for respiration,
CO2 is exhaled, H2O mostly used in the body
calcitonin - CORRECT ANSWERS-inhibits osteoclasts (bone loss), stimulates loss of
calcium from urine
carbohydrate - CORRECT ANSWERS-hydrated carbon--nearly every carbon is
attached to a water molecule
cation - CORRECT ANSWERS-positively charged ion
