BSC 1005 Movement and Physiology
UPDATED ACTUAL Exam Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWER - The science of biological function
Biological function is related to... - CORRECT ANSWER - Structure
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWER - The maintenance of the constant internal
environment despite external changes, or changes caused by variation in biological activity
within cells, tissues and organs.
Pathophysiology - CORRECT ANSWER - Changes in physiology associated with
diseases: genetic mutations, infections, environmental factors, etc...
Blood - CORRECT ANSWER - Part of the circulatory system, specifically the
cardiovascular system.
Connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER - Blood is a connective tissue because it
connects cells throughout the body as it continuously circulates within blood vessels.
Complex Fluid - CORRECT ANSWER - Blood is a complex fluid because it has liquid
and cellular components.
Composition of Blood - CORRECT ANSWER - Cellular: Red Blood cells, Plasma, White
Blood cells (and platelets)
Other: Plasma
Hematocrit - CORRECT ANSWER - % volume of blood occupied by RBC's
, - Hematocrit increases when O2 is low, and decreases when the organism loses blood.
Red Blood Cells - CORRECT ANSWER - -Are the most numerous in the blood
- highly specialized to transport oxygen
- aid in carbon dioxide transport
Most O2 in the blood is bound to... - CORRECT ANSWER - hemoglobin (Hb), a protein
in RBC's
Most CO2 is transported ... - CORRECT ANSWER - in the blood in the form of Carbonic
acid (H2 CO3) and bicarbonate (HCO3) It is dissolved in plasma and cytoplasm of blood cells.
Spectrin - CORRECT ANSWER - one of the main proteins in RBC's cytoskeleton that
maintains its biconcave shape.
Diffusion - CORRECT ANSWER - The net movement of molecules from regions of high
concentration to low concentration.
- Mechanism for transport of respiratory gases (O2 and CO2), between blood and plasma, and
the cytoplasm of RBC's.
Myoglobin - CORRECT ANSWER - oxygen storage protein in muscle
Cells - CORRECT ANSWER - -basic units of life
- A cell is surrounded by a membrane composed of lipids arranged in a bilayer structure.
Hemoglobin - CORRECT ANSWER - the oxygen binding protein in RBC's
Erythropoiesis - CORRECT ANSWER - the process of forming new RBC's ;
