The provides an ideal environment for the implantation and growth of the embryo. a. ovary b. uterine tube c. myometrium d. endometrium RIGHT CHOICE D Detailed Elaboration> A The ovary is the female reproductive organ, in which the ova or eggs are produced. B The uterine tube conducts the egg from the ovary to the uterus. C The myometrium is the smooth muscle that lines the uterus. D Correct. The endometrium provides the ovum with the nourishment necessary for implantation and growth. 9. Intercalated disks are present in which type of muscle? a. Cardiac b. Smooth c. Skeletal d. Voluntary RIGHT CHOICE A Detailed Elaboration> A Correct. Cardiac is the only type of muscle tissue with intercalated disks. B Intercalated disks are not present in smooth muscle. C Intercalated disks are not present in skeletal muscle. D Intercalated disks facilitate the involuntary contractions of cardiac muscle. DIF: Recall REF: p. 15 OBJ: 4 10. Developmental abnormalities are not associated with which number of chromosomes? a. 44 b. 45 c. 46 d. 47 RIGHT CHOICE C Detailed Elaboration> A Developmental abnormalities are associated with less than the normal number of chromosomes (46). B Developmental abnormalities are associated with less than the normal number of chromosomes (46). C Correct. The normal human cell has 46 total chromosomes. D Developmental abnormalities are associated with more than the normal number of chromosomes (46). DIF: Comprehension REF: p. 16 OBJ: 4 11. Which best describes diapedesis? a. Programmed cell death and fragmentation b. A protective mechanism in the immunologic defense of the body c. The development of a cartilage disk in the neck of each long bone d. The migration of leukocytes between endothelial cells to the site of infection RIGHT CHOICE D Detailed Elaboration> A Apoptosis is cell death and fragmentation into membrane-bound particles. B The lymphatic system is an immunologic defense mechanism. C The epiphyseal plate is a developmental disk of cartilage. D Correct. Diapedesis is a process whereby leukocytes migrate between endothelial cells to the site of infection. DIF: Comprehension REF: p. 12 OBJ: 4 12. T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages are produced in the . a. spleen b. cerebellum c. lymph nodes d. bone marrow RIGHT CHOICE D Detailed Elaboration> A Immune system cells (T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages) are produced in the bone marrow, not the spleen. B Immune system cells (T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages) are produced in the bone marrow, not the cerebellum. C Immune system cells (T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages) are produced in the bone marrow, not the lymph nodes. D Correct. Bone marrow is the site of formation for T cells, B cells, NK cells, and macrophages. 13. Which represent the first change in shape of the embryo’s body from a flat sheet of cells? a. Formation of the embryonic disk. b. Formation of neural folds. c. Formation of cartilage. d. Migration of myoblasts from the myotome. RIGHT CHOICE B Detailed Elaboration> A The embryonic disk forms from a small inner cell mass within the blastocyst. This occurs prior to the formation of the three primordial layers, long before the embryo acquires a three-dimensional shape. B Correct. The neural folds can be seen during the third prenatal week. The lateral edges of the neural plate begin to elevate as folds arise dorsally. C Cartilage first appears in the fifth week. D Muscle cells have begun migrating from the myotome by the 10th prenatal week. DIF: Comprehension REF: pp. 10-11 OBJ: 3 14. Myotome produces which of the following types of tissue? a. Connective b. Muscle c. Nerve d. Epithelial RIGHT CHOICE B Detailed Elaboration> A Connective tissue develops from somites as fibroblasts migrating from either side of the neural tube. B Correct. Myoblasts have begun migrating from the myotome by the 10th prenatal week. They gradually differentiate into elongated, multinucleatedmuscle fibers. C Nerve is derived from both the cranial and trunk neural crest. When the anterior neural tube closes, it shows three dilations that form the primary brain vesicles. D Skin has an epidermis, a surface cell layer that develops from the surface of ectodermal cells, and a dermis, which arises from the underlying mesoderm. DIF: Comprehension REF: p. 15 OBJ: 3 15. Which type of bone formation occurs through a tight matrix of collagen fibers, which slowly calcify into bone? a. Endochondral b. Intramembranous c. Epiphyseal d. Interstitial growth RIGHT CHOICE B Detailed Elaboration> A Bone replaces cartilage during endochondral bone development. A small bloodvessel enters the cartilage shaft, the cartilage calcifies and disintegrates in the center, and a marrow space is formed. B Correct. Intramembranous bone formation is the direct transformation of connective tissue into bone. It is much simpler for bone cells to organize in thismanner and to form spicules of bone through coalescence with neighboring spicules until a bony plate is formed. C The epiphyseal plate is a developing cartilage disk that remains in the neck of each long bone and bone forms on either side. It will remain as long as the boneis forming. D Cartilage develops and expands by interstitial growth, which is growth within the cartilage matrix by each cartilage cell enlarging and forming matrix around each cell. 16. Blood cells arise from cells called a. neuroblasts. b. fibroblasts. c. osteoblasts. d. angioblasts. RIGHT CHOICE D Detailed Elaboration> A Neuroblasts are primitive nerve cells that develop into adult neurons. B Connective tissue develops from the somites as fibroblasts migrating from either side of the neural tube. C Osteoblasts will form bone. D Correct. The cardiovascular system originates from cells termed angioblasts, which arise from angiogenic clusters from the visceral mesoderm located in the walls of the yolk sac during the third week. The outer cells organize into a series of elongating tubes and the inner cells become blood cells. DIF: Recall REF: p. 15 OBJ: 3 17. Each of the following is a derivative of ectoderm EXCEPT one. Which is the EXCEPTION? a. Tooth enamel b. Tooth dentin c. Epidermis d. Nervous system RIGHT CHOICE B Detailed Elaboration> A Tooth enamel is derived from ectoderm. B Correct. Tooth dentin is derived from mesoderm. Muscle and connective tissue derivatives such as: bone, cartilage, blood, pulp, cementum, and the periodontalligament are also derived from mesoderm. C The epidermis, hair, and nails are derived from ectoderm. D The nervous system, sensory epithelium of the eye, ear, and nose, and epithelium of the sinuses, oral and nasal cavities, and intraoral glands are allderived from epithelium.
