HESI - Anatomy & Physiology Practice
Test
What are the four fundamental tissues ? - Answer-Epithelial,connective,muscle,nervous
Epithelial Tissue ? - Answer-Cover, line, and protect the body and its internal organs.
Connective tissue ? - Answer-Is the framework of the body which provides support and structure for the
organs.
Nerve Tissue ? - Answer-Composed of neurons and connective tissue cells (Neuroglia).
Muscle Tissues ? - Answer-Have the ability to contract or shorten
Function of the nucleus ? - Answer-Carries DNA
Function of Ribosomes ? - Answer-Important for the synthesis of proteins
,Mitosis ? - Answer-DNA is duplicated and distributed evenly between two daughter cells.
Meiosis ? - Answer-Cell division where 46 chromosomes are reduced to 23 so they zygote has the
correct number of chromosomes.
What is the largest organ in the body ? - Answer-Skin
How many layers does the skin consist of ? - Answer-Two : Dermis & Epidermis
Epidermis ? - Answer-The outermost protective layer of dead keratinized epithelial cells.
Dermis ? - Answer-The underlying layer of connective tissue with blood vessels, nerve endings, and the
associated skin structures.
What are the layers of the Epidermis from outer layer to inner layer ? - Answer-Stratum corneum,
stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, and stratum germinativum (Inner most layer).
What are the two parts of the Germinativum (Innermost layer of the Epidermis) ? - Answer-Stratum
basale & Stratum spinosum
Where does mitosis occur ? - Answer-Stratum Germinativum
Epidermal cells contain the protein pigment called _______ ? - Answer-Melanin
What is the function of melanin ? - Answer-Protects against radiation from the sun
What is the dermis composed of ? - Answer-fibrous connective tissue,
, What are the two types of sweat glands ? - Answer-Eccrine & Appocrine
What is eccrine ? - Answer-regulates body temperature by releasing a watery secretion that evaporates
from the surface of the skin.
What is appocrine ? - Answer-secretion that contains bit of cytoplasm from the secreting cells. This cell
bacteria attracts bacteria, and the presence of bacteria on the skin results in body odor.
What does the appendages of the skin contain ? - Answer-hair and nails
What does the body's framework consist of ? - Answer-bone, cartilage, ligaments, and joints
What are some of the functions of the skeletal system ? - Answer-support, movement, blood cell
formation
what is hemopoiesis ? - Answer-blood cell formation
Describe the properties of a long bone ? - Answer-has an irregular epiphysis at each end, composed of
spongy cancellous bone and a shaft/diaphysis
What are the bones of the cranium ? - Answer-single occipital, frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid and paired
parietal, temporal, and ossicles of the ear.
how many bones does the cervical vertebrae have ? - Answer-7
how many bones does the thoracic vertebrae have ? - Answer-12
