UMKC Biology 109 Quiz 4 Problem Sets Questions With
Complete Solutions
"Stratified columnar" is a description that would apply to what
type of animal tissue? Correct Answer epithelial
A body cell that has been infected by a virus (or some other
pathogens) will produce interferon to warm nearby cells to
prepare for possible infection. Interferons are: Correct Answer
proteins
A countercurrent flow system between substance A and
substance B Correct Answer maximizes the exchange by
having A and B flow in opposite directions
A given volume of blood flowing through an area of large
surface (as at a capillary bed) will have blank speed compared to
areas of smaller surface area (as arteries and veins). Correct
Answer lower
A negative feedback loop maintains the directions of the
stimulus (exacerbates the effects) Correct Answer false
A(n) blank is an animal that has a relatively variable body
temperature, whereas a(n) blank is an animal that maintains a
relativley stable body temperature. Correct Answer
Poikilotherm; homeotherm
All gases exchanged between air and blood in mammals occurs
across the walls of the Correct Answer alveoli
, All of the following are part of our antigen specific defense
mechanism except: Correct Answer acute inflammation
all of the following are parts of a nerve cell except:
a) intercalated disks
b) dendrites
c) cell body
d) axon Correct Answer a) intercalated disks
All of the following stimuli would lead to a faster rate of SA
node discharge except Correct Answer stimulation by
parasympathetic nervous system
Allergens are the result of an exaggerated immune response.
What triggers this response? Correct Answer allergens
An animal that uses energy to regulate its own body temperature
internally is considered endothermic Correct Answer true
An artery has blank compared to a vein Correct Answer a
thicker muscle layer
An evolutionary adaptation that enables animals with more
complex body designs to ensure sufficient exchange with their
environment Correct Answer highly folded internal surfaces
An example of a properly functioning homeostatic control
system is seen when Correct Answer the kidneys excrete salt
into the urine when dietary salt levels rise
