BIO 143 LATEST 2026 STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
✔✔eccrine sweat glands - ✔✔secreting glands, are far more numerous and are
abundant on palms, soles of feet and forehead. Each is a simple, coiled, tubular gland;
ducts connect to pores. Sweat: 99% water, NaCl, vitamin C, antibodies, dermcidin and
metabolic wastes
✔✔apocrine sweat glands - ✔✔produce true sweat plus fatty substances and proteins;
found in the axillary (armpit) and anogenital areas of the body
✔✔fibrobalsts - ✔✔large, flat cells with branching processes
✔✔globulins - ✔✔serum proteins
✔✔granulocyte - ✔✔white blood cell with numerous dark-staining granules: eosinophil,
neutrophil, and basophil
✔✔neutrophils - ✔✔most abundant white blood cell., The most abundant type of white
blood cell; phagocytic and tend to self-destruct as they destroy foreign invaders, limiting
their life span to a few days
✔✔eosinophils - ✔✔a white blood cell containing granules that are readily stained by
eosin
✔✔basophils - ✔✔a circulating leukocyte that produces histamine
✔✔agranulocyte - ✔✔a group of leukocytes without granules in their nuclei;
lymphocytes, monocytes.
✔✔monocytes - ✔✔an agranular leukocyte that is able to migrate into tissues and
transform into a macrophage
✔✔lymphocytes - ✔✔a type of white blood cell that make antibodies to fight off
infections
✔✔T lymphocytes (T cells) - ✔✔lymphocyte that matures in the thymus and acts directly
against antigens in cell-mediated immune responses
✔✔B lymphocytes (B cells) - ✔✔lymphocyte that matures in the bone marrow and
secretes antibodies
✔✔ homeostasis - ✔✔process by which organisms maintain a relatively stable internal
environment
