What distinguishes elements from compounds?

Elements have only one kind of atom and cannot be broken down any further.

Why do atoms lose, gain, or share electrons?

to obtain stability

Transfer of electrons from an atom of one element to an atom of another element results in

ionic bond

Which compound is the body’s main energy source?

carbohydrates

The basic building block of a protein molecule is a(n)

amino acid

How do cells obtain energy?

Energy is released by breaking phosphate bonds in ATP molecules

A cell’s shape, or form, is determined by its:

function

The gel-like substance that surrounds the nucleus of the cell and contains organelles is called the:

cytoplasm

These organelles, located on the surface of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, are responsible for synthesizing proteins.

ribosomes

Which of the following correctly describes diffusion?

It is a form of passive transport in which particles of solute move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

This process, which takes place inside the nucleus of the cell, occurs when the information on a strand of DNA is copied onto a new molecule of messenger RNA.

Transcription

An IV solution with a higher concentration of solutes than that inside the cell would be referred to as:

hypertonic

Which characteristic of bacteria permits them to develop antibiotic resistance?

Bacteria contain small loops of DNA called plasmids which can easily transfer from one cell to another.

What is the human microbiome?

The community of microbes living within healthy people

Based on what you know about the microbiome, which of the following statements is most accurate?

Certain familial diseases that appear to be genetic may actually result from bacterial genes as opposed to human genes.

Which of the following is a threat to the microbiome?

psychological stress

Microorganisms known to cause disease are called

pathogens

Because some fungi reproduce through tiny spores in the air, what is one of the locations that we often see fungal infections occurring?

in the lungs

This type of tissue repair involves damaged tissue cells being replaced with the same type of cells; it results in functional new tissue.

regeneration

This tissue is a continuous sheet of tightly packed cells and covers the body’s surface, lines body cavities and many of its organs, and forms certain glands:

epithelial

Which tissue is the most widespread and varied of all the tissues?

connective

What characteristic distinguishes connective tissue from other types of tissue?

it’s extra cellular matrix

This type of muscle tissue is involuntary; it contains structures called intercalated discs, which allow for quick transmission of electrical signals from cell to cell.

cardiac muscle

Which cells can develop into many different cell types?

stem cells

This is the most common type of skin cancer; it seldom metastasizes so it is the least dangerous.

basal cell carcinoma

This yellow discoloration of the skin is caused by buildup of bile, and is often a result of liver disease:

jaundice

Which statement about melanin is accurate?

Melanin forms a cap over the nucleus which protects it from UV exposure.

How does the skin help regulate body temperature?

Nerves in the dermis cause blood vessels to dilate or constrict to regulate heat loss.

A burn that involves only the epidermis is classified as

first

Which structure causes the hair to “stand on end”?

arrector pili

Which classification of bone protects organs or provides a large surface area for the attachment of muscles?

flat bones

The central, shaftlike portion of a long bone is called the

diaphysis

The basic structural unit of compact bone is

an oseton

The medullary cavity in most adults is filled with

yellow bone marrow

Which type of fracture is most likely to occur in a car accident?

comminuted fracture

How does physical exercise affect bone?

It causes bone density to increase because bone adapts to withstand physical stress.

The adult human skeleton typically contains how many bones?

206

Which bone is found in the appendicular skeleton?

humerus

The vertebral column consists of five main sections. Beginning in the neck, the sections are

cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx.

Which ribs attach directly to the sternum?

the first 7 ribs

What is the purpose of the intervertebral disks?

support weight and absorbs shock

The infant’s skull contains areas of fibrous connective tissue called

Fontanels

The large opening in the base of the skull, through which the spinal cord passes, is called the

foramen magnum

Which type of bone cell helps build new bone, specifically the bone’s matrix?

osteoblasts

Which type of joints are the suture joints in the skull?

fibrous joints

The intervertebral discs are examples of which type of joint?

Cartilagineous

The most numerous and versatile of all the body’s joints are

synovial joints

Along with synovial fluid, this structure permits friction-free movement in synovial joints.

articular cartilage

An extreme extension of a joint beyond its normally straight position is called:

hyperextension

Which joint has a medial and lateral meniscus?

knee

What is the sheet of connective tissue that encloses the joint cavity of synovial joints called?

joint capsule

Which type of synovial joint offers the widest range of movement?

ball and socket joints

The rotator cuff is found in which joint?

shoulder

Which joint is most likely to be dislocated?

shoulder

The joint movement that involves the movement of a body part away from the midline of the body:

abduction

Straightening a joint so as to increase the angle between the bones:

extension

Which of the following correctly describes skeletal muscle?

It is known as voluntary muscle.

What are the units of contraction in a muscle called?

sacromeres

Besides ATP, which is required for energy, the process of muscle contraction also requires this ion:

calcium

These structures latch onto each other and form a "cross bridge" which allows muscle contraction to occur:

thick and thin myofilaments

What is the chief function of Transverse (T) tubules?

They allow electrical impulses to travel deep into the cell.

Which factor influences the strength with which a muscle fiber contracts?

The length of the muscle fiber before the contraction begins

If impulses reach a muscle fiber so rapidly that fibers are only able to partially relax before the next impulse arrives, what condition will occur?

incomplete tetanus

The minimum voltage stimulus required to produce a muscle contraction is known as:

threshold

In this type of muscle contraction, tension within muscle increases while length remains the same.

isometric

In this type of muscle attachment, the epimysium (the outermost membrane covering the muscle) extends past the muscle as a strong fibrous cord called a tendon. The tendon then merges with the periosteum of the bone.

indirect attachment

The end of the muscle that attaches to the more stationary bone is known as the:

origin

This type of muscle balances movement by opposing the action of the prime mover:

antagonist

A neuron and all the muscle fibers it stimulates are called a:

motor unit
