HESI A&P EXAM
Characteristics of viral herpes - ANS skin eruption
Vomer - ANS nasal septum
Upper respiratory structure - ANS Nose
Mouth
Pharynx (tonsils and adenoids)
Larynx (epiglottis to cover trachea while swallowing)
Hyoid bone - ANS a U-shaped bone in the neck that supports the tongue; the only bone that does not
articulate with any other bone, but only has muscular, ligamentous, and cartilaginous attachments
Bones store and release which two minerals? - ANS calcium and phosphorus
Anaerobic respiration can lead to a burning sensation caused by what molecule? - ANS lactic acid
As part of the negative feedback system, which type of cell is stimulated to reabsorb (degrade) bone
matrix in response to a decrease in calcium in the blood? - ANS osteoclasts
Cell membrane - ANS the semipermeable membrane surrounding the cytoplasm of a cell that regulates
what enters the cell.
Mediastinum - ANS Centrally located space between the lungs
, What is the response of cells in the collecting tubules in the nephrons when ADH is secreted? - ANS H2O
is reabsorbed from urinary filtrate
Vastus Lateralis - ANS the muscle of the quads that lies on the side and extends leg at knee
Hemoglobin - ANS iron-containing protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen for delivery to cells
Pituitary gland - ANS endocrine gland at the base of the brain; the master gland
Eccrine gland - ANS epidermal derivative involved in temperature homeostasis; more numerous than
the apocrine glands and are found chiefly on the palms, soles, and forehead
Aqueous humor - ANS clear fluid in the eye, found between the cornea and the lens
Dorsiflexion plantar flexion - ANS bending the foot or toes upward or downward
Temporal lobe - ANS A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for hearing and language.
Cochlea - ANS a coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger nerve
impulses
Epiphysis - ANS the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.
Chemoreceptors - ANS chemical sensors in the brain and blood vessels that identify changing levels of
oxygen and carbon dioxide; stimulates when there is a rise in CO2; fall in O2
