ANP 1111 - First Mid-Term
Atom
Smallest particle of an element with all of the properties of that element
Molecule
The smallest amount of a substance that can exist alone = a combination of atoms
Organelle
Molecules associate in specific ways to form organelles = basic components of living calls
What are the different parts of an atom?
protons, neutrons, electrons
What are some examples of common molecules we will encounter in this course?
Water, glucose, ATP
Cell
Fundamental structural and functional unit of a living thing; cells vary widely in size and shape,
reflecting their unique functions in the body; cells can arise only from other cells
Tissues
Groups of similar cells that have a common function
Organ
Structure composed of at least 2 (but usually 4) tissue types that performs a specific function for
the body
Organ System
Organs that work closely with one another to accomplish a common purpose
Cells that connect body parts, form linings, or transport gases...
,Epithelial cells, fibroblasts, erythrocytes
Cells that move organs and body parts...
Skeletal muscle cells, smooth muscle cells
Cell that stores nutrients...
Fat cell
Cell that fights disease...
Macrophage
Cell that gathers information and controls body functions...
Nerve cell
Cell of reproduction...
Sperm
Give 4 examples of cellular organelles
Nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus
Which of the following statements most accurately describes the complementarity of anatomy
and physiology?
Functions occur because of the anatomy that exists within the body. (Physiology is explainable
in terms of the underlying anatomy of the body)
Which of the following best demonstrates the principle of complementarity of structure and
function?
Bones can support and protect body organs because they contain hard mineral deposits.
Which is not an example of an organ...
A) skin
B) blood vessel
C) stomach
D) smooth muscle
Smooth muscle (smooth muscle is a type of tissue)
,Which organ systems are involved in the uptake and transport of materials required for
life-sustaining processes?
Digestive, circulatory, and respiratory
Negative feedback
When a change in a regulated variable triggers a response which reverses the initial change
and brigs the regulated variable back to the set point.
Positive feedback
Amplifying or magnifying the change or output (contractions during labour)
Positive versus negative feedback
Positive = more , negative = counter action
Which directional term is used to describe the relationship of the skin to the skeletal muscles?
superficial (because the skin covers the outside of the body; thus, it is superficial, or external, to
the skeletal muscles)
We have an expert-written solution to this problem!
Which of the following is the proper description of the human body in the anatomical position?
The body is erect with feet slightly apart and palms facing forward with thumbs pointing away
from the body.
The heart is dorsal to the sternum.
True
The heart is posterior to the spine
False
The ventral cavity includes which three subdivisions?
The ventral cavity, the thoracic cavity, and the abdominopelvic cavities
What tissue type has polarity and us avascular?
, Epithelium
What is not a characteristic of stratified squamous epithelia (SSE)
The epidermis is a dry epithelium consisting of non-keratinized SSE
What are water-soluble, complex glycoproteins that are secreted by goblet cells?
Mucin
Epithelial cancers may have the ability to penetrate through this membrane and spread to
underlying tissues...
The basement membrane
Why are adipose tissue, blood, and bone all considered to be connective tissues?
They have a common origin: the embryonic tissue mesenchyme.
Which is the most atypical connective tissue since it neither connects structures nor provides
structural support?
Blood
Which of the following connective tissues is richly vascularized and consists of more cells than
extra cellular matrix?
Adipose
Costal cartilages reinforce airways and support the external nose
False
Elastic cartilages are able to tolerate repeated bending.
True
Osteoblasts...
Secrete osteoid
Osteons are found in all bone tissues
False (Osteons are found only in compact bone; they are absent in spongy bone.)
