BSC 101 - Exam 3 – Wodika questions with
accurate answers
3 stages of child birth Ans✓✓✓ 1. Dilation and effacement of the
cervix
2. Delivery of the baby
3. Delivery of the placenta


absorption Ans✓✓✓ digested nutrients move from the digestive system
into the blood so they can be transported to cells around the body.
Small intestine


adaptive immunity Ans✓✓✓ Specific response: Adaptive immunity
provides a specific and targeted response to specific pathogens,
characterized by immunological memory.
Develops over time: Adaptive immunity develops over time in response
to exposure to pathogens or vaccination. It involves the activation and
proliferation of lymphocytes (B cells and T cells) that recognize and
respond to specific antigens.
Antigen recognition: Adaptive immunity relies on the recognition of
antigens by lymphocyte receptors, such as B cell receptors (BCRs) and
T cell receptors (TCRs), which are highly specific to particular
pathogens or antigens.
Immunological memory: One of the key features of adaptive immunity
is immunological memory. After initial exposure to a pathogen or
vaccine, adaptive immune cells develop memory cells that provide a
faster and more robust response upon re-exposure to the same pathogen,
leading to enhanced protection against reinfection.

,Humoral and cell-mediated responses: Adaptive immunity encompasses
both humoral immunity, mediated by antibodies produced by B cells,
and cell-mediated immunity, mediated by T cells, which work together
to eliminate pathogens.


after birth Ans✓✓✓ placenta detaches and exits through vagina


alveoli Ans✓✓✓ Structures: Tiny air sacs clustered at the ends of
bronchioles.
Function: Site of gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the
air and bloodstream.


biological sex Ans✓✓✓ having male or female reproductive anatomy


blood vessels Ans✓✓✓ Arteries: Carry oxygenated blood away from
the heart to the body tissues.
Veins: Carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Capillaries: Tiny blood vessels where gas exchange and nutrient
exchange occur between blood and tissues.


bronchi and bronchioles Ans✓✓✓ Structures: Branches of the trachea
within the lungs.
Function: Carry air from the trachea to the alveoli in the lungs.


bulbourethral glands (Cowper's glands) Ans✓✓✓ Structure: Pair of
small glands located below the prostate gland.

, Function: Produces pre-ejaculatory fluid that lubricates the urethra and
neutralizes acidity in the urethra to protect sperm.


cancer treatments Ans✓✓✓ Surgery: remove tumor
Radiation: x-rays to kill individual cells
Chemotherapy: chemicals to kill those cells


cell cycle Ans✓✓✓ M → Cell divides
G1 → Just Born (split), growing in size
S → start thinking about dividing (making copies)
G2 → cell grows bigger in prep for division


cell division regulation Ans✓✓✓ Cell Division Checkpoints:
G1 - restriction point, if passed, committed to cell division
G2 - makes sure all chromosomes have been properly replicated and are
not damaged
M - spindle checkpoint, makes sure all sister chromatids are going to
separate properly


cervix Ans✓✓✓ Structure: Narrow, lower part of the uterus that
protrudes into the vagina.
Function: Acts as a barrier between the vagina and the uterus, produces
mucus that changes consistency throughout the menstrual cycle to
facilitate or inhibit sperm passage, and dilates during childbirth to allow
for the passage of the fetus.
