Which body cavity provides the least protection to its internal structures? -
ANSWERabdominal
What is the function of the serous membranes of the body? - ANSWERThe serous
membranes produce a lubricating fluid that reduces friction when visceral organs
slide over one another or rub against the body wall. Serous membranes also prevent
the spreading of infection in one organ to others by compartmentalizing the various
organs.pel

What body cavity/cavities are the most protective? - ANSWERdorsal body cavity,
cranial cavity, vertebral/spinal cavity

, If the diameter of the high-power field is 1.2mm, an object that occupies
approximately a third of that field has an estimated diameter of ______ mm (Round
to nearest tenth) - ANSWER0.4
If a microscope has a 10X ocular lens and the total magnification at a particular time
is 950X, the objective lens in use at that time is ____X. - ANSWER95
Assume there is an object on the left side of the field that you want to bring to the
center (that is, toward the apparent right). In what direction would you move your
slide? - ANSWERleft
A student has the high-power lens in position and appears to be intently observing
the specimen. The instructor, noting a working distance of about 1 cm, knows the
student isn't actually seeing the specimen. How so? - ANSWERA high power lens's
working distance should be much smaller, usually less than 1 cm. Therefore, the
instructor knows the student isn't actually seeing the specimen and what they are
viewing is out of focus.
Which structure organizes the mitotic spindle during cell division? -

Centrioles replicate - ANSWERinterphase
The chromosomes are V shaped - ANSWERanaphase
DNA replication occurs - ANSWERS phase
