The function of movement is provided by what system? - Answer -Muscular System
The function of responsiveness is provided by what system? - Answer -Nervous System
The function of digestion is provided by what system? - Answer -Digestive
What is anabolism? - Answer -The building of complex structures from simpler ones
What is catabolism? - Answer -The breakdown of complex structures into simpler
building blocks
Excretion involves what systems? - Answer -Digestive, Respiratory, Urinary
The reproductive system is controlled by what other system? - Answer -The Endocrine
System
Which tissue covers the body surface and lines the cavities of the body. - Answer -
Epithelium
Name the three steps in cellular respiration. - Answer -1. Glycolysis
2. Citric Acid Cycle
3. Electron Transport System
What is the purpose of ATP? - Answer -ATP is a very energy rich molecule that powers
cellular activity allowing cells to have the energy needed to carry out their functions
Epithelial cells perform what types of functions? - Answer -Epethelial cells special in
tasks such as secretion and absorption. The cells are under constant division to replace
dead cells that shed away.

In anatomical position are the hands in pronation or supination? - Answer -Supination
Why are the hands in this position (answer from #28/above)? - Answer -So that the
bones (radius and ulna) in the forearm remain uncrossed
Define elevation and depression - Answer -Elevation: upward movement of a structure
Depression: Downward movement of a structure
Define retraction and protraction: - Answer -Protraction: movement in the anterior
direction (forward)
Retraction: movement in the posterior direction (backward)
Look at the figure in the module question 32 of the right elbow. What is the
demonstrated action (in the direction of the arrow which is pointed downward)? -
Answer -Elbow Extension
