Describe the basic stages of wound healing in the body. - CORRECT ANSWER - The first
stage of wound healing is blood's ground matrix filling in the spaces. The second stage is
phagocytosis where the cells start to clean up the area. The third stage is the formation of blood
clot and new blood capillaries. Last stage is when the new tissue is formed.
A(n) __________ is a group of similar cells and their intercellular materials in a discrete region
of an organ performing a specific function. - CORRECT ANSWER - Tissue
Which of the following terms encompasses all of the other ones? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Metabolism
The most abundant element in the human body, by weight, is __________. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Oxygen
,__________ epithelium is the most widespread epithelium in the body, whereas __________
epithelium is rare. - CORRECT ANSWER - Stratified squamous; stratified columnar
In the glycocalyx, __________ act like identification tags that enable the body to distinguish its
own cells from foreign and diseased cells. - CORRECT ANSWER - Glycoproteins
Where are chondrocytes and osteocytes located? - CORRECT ANSWER - In lacunae
Negative feedback loops are __________. - CORRECT ANSWER - homeostatic
mechanisms
Organs are made of tissues. - CORRECT ANSWER - True
The most abundant molecules in the plasma membrane are __________. - CORRECT
ANSWER - phospholipids
The term _____________ refers to a membrane that allows some things to pass through it, but
not others. - CORRECT ANSWER - selectively permeable
Columnar cells lining the small intestine have a brush border of microvilli on the apical surface. -
CORRECT ANSWER - True
Skeletal muscle is described as __________. - CORRECT ANSWER - striated and
voluntary
Adipose connective tissue is a type of dense connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWER -
true
A brush border of microvilli is found in __________ epithelium, which can be found in the
__________. - CORRECT ANSWER - simple columnar; small intestine
,Which of the following is most likely to cause disease? - CORRECT ANSWER - Positive
feedback
Muscle cells contain numerous __________ to serve their high demand for ATP. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Mitochondria
Which one of the following would not increase the rate of a reaction? - CORRECT
ANSWER - A decrease in reactant concentrations
Molecules composed of two or more different atoms are called compounds. - CORRECT
ANSWER - true
Chemicals in a solution can move down a concentration gradient. This means the chemical will
move from the area of__________ concentration to the area of_________ concentration. -
CORRECT ANSWER - higher; lower
Explain the relationship between a cells form and its function. Please give an example. -
CORRECT ANSWER - The bigger a cell is, the more that it can do. The smaller it is, the
less it can do. For example, because squamous cells are small and flat, they are only capable of
doing things like diffusion or transport of materials. Cuboidal cells and columnar cells are much
bigger than squamous cells, so that allows them to do more like absorption or secretion of
materials.
An enzyme is substrate-specific because of the shape of its __________. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Active site
Some simple columnar and pseudostratified columnar epithelia have _________ cells, which
produce a protective mucous coating over the mucous membranes. - CORRECT
ANSWER - Goblet
What type of molecule is maltose? - CORRECT ANSWER - Disaccharide
, Ionic bonds break apart in water more easily than covalent bonds do. - CORRECT
ANSWER - True
Why does a surgeon need to be familiar with different versions of anatomy? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Anatomical variation
Minerals do which of the following? - CORRECT ANSWER - Contribute to the structure
of bones and teeth
Which of the following is not an example of a physiological gradient? - CORRECT
ANSWER - Tissue
The duct of an endocrine gland leads into the bloodstream rather than onto an epithelial surface. -
CORRECT ANSWER - False
What molecule is found at the letter A? - CORRECT ANSWER - Na+
Which protein would bind a chemical messenger like the neurotransmitter acetylcholine? -
CORRECT ANSWER -A
What level of structural hierarchy is represented by the letter E? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Cell
What type of transport is pictured here? - CORRECT ANSWER - active transport
What type of bond is labeled 1? - CORRECT ANSWER - covalent
What molecule is found at the letter C? - CORRECT ANSWER - ATP
