SCIN138 – Comprehensive Course Review: Human
Biology, Physiology, and Clinical Applications
(Practice Questions with Explanations)
Description: This document provides a complete review of SCIN138 material, including key
concepts in human biology and physiology. It covers cell structure and function, body
systems (circulatory, respiratory, digestive, endocrine, and nervous), and their clinical
applications. Practice questions with explanations are included to reinforce learning and
prepare students for exams. The material is organized for clarity, making it useful both for
quick study sessions and in-depth review.
Keywords:

, Low strain rate, high temperature, high confining pressure. These entire variables
encourage which type of deformation?
Ductile Deformation
_______________interpret mountain ranges and tell the story of what formed them
structural geologists
A ___________ is simply a plane along which movement has occurred
fault
When a rock has exceeded its elastic limit and behaves in a ductile manner, the resulting
structure is a________(bend or warp in a rock layer)
fold
_____________________, caused by increased temperature, pressure, and even the addition
of fluids, changes the mineralogy and the texture of the rock.
Metamorphism
What are the three agents of metamorphism?
It is all about pressure, temperature, and fluids.
The result of differential stress (pressure) on rocks can:
cause mineral crystals to align parallel to each other.
Heat promotes recrystallization by
increasing atomic vibration
