GH125 Final Exam Questions With Verified Answers
Dorsal Cavity - ANSWER Includes cranial and spinal cavities, posterior side of the body
Ventral Cavity - ANSWER includes the front of the body (thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic
cavities)
cranial cavity - ANSWER contains the brain/ space inside the skull
Spinal cavity - ANSWER Spinal cord
Mediastinum - ANSWER Midportion of thoracic cavity, heart and trachea located in the
mediastinum
pleura cavities - ANSWER Right lung located in right pleura cavity; left lung in left pleura
cavity
Superior - ANSWER towards the head
Inferior - ANSWER means toward the feet
Anterior - ANSWER towards the front
Posterior - ANSWER Toward the back
Medial - ANSWER toward the middle
Proximal - ANSWER Nearer to the trunk of the body
Distal - ANSWER Farther from the trunk of the body
corpus Spongiosum - ANSWER which surrounds the urethra
Spermatogonia - ANSWER Sperm develop from stem cells called
semen - ANSWER composed of sperm, seminal fluids, and other secretions
seminal vesicles - ANSWER two small glands that secrete a fluid rich in sugar that
nourishes and helps sperm move
pH - ANSWER hydrogen ion concentration
Anabolism - ANSWER Process of building up complex materials (proteins) from simple
materials or building pu
Catabolism - ANSWER Breaking down
Active transport - ANSWER Is the uphil movement of a substance through a living cell
membrane. Requires the cell to expand energy (from ATP)
, Passive transport - ANSWER The movement of substances across a cell membrane
without the use of energy by the cell
Omosis - ANSWER Passive movement of water through a selectively permeable
membrane in a presence of at least one non penetrating solute
Difussion - ANSWER movement of particles through a membrane from an area of higher
concentration to an area of lower concentration
Filtration - ANSWER Movement of water and solutes through a membrane as a result of
pushing force that is greater on one side of the membrane than on the other side. The
force is called hydrostatic pressure
Facilitated diffusion - ANSWER Also known as facilitated transport or passive medical
transport is the process of spontaneous passive transport (as opposed to active
transport) of molecules or iron across a biological membrane via specific trans
membrane integral proteins
Epithelial tissue - ANSWER Forms sheets that cover the body and many of its parts
Connective tissue - ANSWER Provide structural and functional support
Muscle tissue - ANSWER Type of tissue that makes movements of the body possible
Nervous tissue - ANSWER Senses, conducts, and process information
Mitosis - ANSWER cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the
same number of chromosomes
Long bones - ANSWER humerus or arm bones
Short bone - ANSWER Carpals or wrist bones
Flat bones - ANSWER Frontal or skull bone
Irregular bones - ANSWER Vertebrate or spinal bones
Synarthroses - ANSWER No movement
Amphiarthroses - ANSWER Slight movement
Diarthroses - ANSWER Freely movable
Prophase - ANSWER the first stage of mitosis
Metaphase - ANSWER second phase of mitosis, during which the chromosomes line up
across the center of the cell
Anaphase - ANSWER Third phase of mitosis during which chromatids separate and are
