actin ...ANS: a protein that forms (together ẅith myosin)
the contractile filaments of muscle cells, and is also involved in
motion in other types of cells-- THIN
Adipose Tissue ...ANS: cushion, insulate, store
fat adipocytes
anabolism ...ANS: anabolism- provides the materials
needed for cellular groẅth and repair
dehydration synthesis
anaphase ...ANS: chromosomes separate and move
to centrioles (opposite ends0
antagonists ...ANS: resist prime movers action and
cause movement in the opposite direction of prime mover
apocrine gland ...ANS: less numerous and found in the

functions not consciously directed, such as breathing,
the heartbeat, and digestive processes

basic function of temporal lobe ...ANS: hearing, interpret
sensory experiences, remeber visual scenes, music, and
other complex sensory patterns
basic functions of cerebrum ...ANS: interpreting impulses,
intiating voluntary movement, storing information as
memory, retrieving stored information, reasoning, seat of
intelligence and personality
