Anatomy and Physiology 101 Final Exam
Ivy Tech
abduction - ANS-
actin - ANS-a protein that forms (together with myosin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells,
and is also involved in motion in other types of cells-- THIN
adduction - ANS-
Adipose Tissue - ANS-cushion, insulate, store fat
adipocytes
anabolism - ANS-anabolism- provides the materials needed for cellular growth 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 armpit, groin, and around the nipples.
Their secretions are thicker, whitish in color, and contain high amounts of proteins. They secrete
their product into associated hair follicles. Bacteria feed on this secretion, which produces body
odor
aponeurosis - ANS-a sheet of pearly-white fibrous tissue that takes the place of a tendon in
sheetlike muscles having a wide area of attachment
ascending tracts - ANS-Carry sensory info to the brain (with three neurons), from receptor to the
somatosensory cortex
atom - ANS-smallest particle of atom, basic unit of matter
autonomic - ANS-responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such
as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes
base - ANS-combines in water
basic function of frontal lobe - ANS-higher intellectual processes, concentration, planning,
complex problem solving, judging consequences of behavior, movement of voluntary skeletal
muscle
basic function of occipital lobe - ANS-vision, combine visual images with other sensory
experiences
basic function of parietal love - ANS-provide sensations of temperature, touch, pressure, pain,
understanding speech and using words to express thoughts and feelings
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
basic parts of a neuron - ANS-dendrites, cell body, axon
, blood - ANS-transports, defends, clotting, throughout body
Bone - ANS-supports, protects, forms blood cells, attachment for muscles, skeleton
bone function - ANS-shape, support, and protect body structure, blood cell formation, salt
storage
canaliculi - ANS-canal or duct
cardiac muscle - ANS-heart wall, involuntary, striated, intercalated discs, single nuclei
cartilage - ANS-hyaline- nose, ends of bone
elastic- ear
fibrocartilage- intervertebral discs
catabolism - ANS-breaks down larger molecules into smaller molecules
hydrolosis
centrosome - ANS-produce cilia and flagella, distribute chromosomes during cell division
chondrocyte - ANS-cells of cartilage
chromatin - ANS-package DNA into a small volume to fit into the nucleus of a cell and protect
the DNA structure and sequence
cilia - ANS-propel substances across surfaces
circumduction - ANS-
cold receptors - ANS-sensitive to temp 10-20C
compact bone - ANS-Due to the strength of compact bone, its main functions is to support the
entire body. Compact pact bone also stores calcium
convolutions/gyri - ANS-bumps
cytoplasm - ANS-contains cytosol
cytosol - ANS-aqueous substance
define catalyst - ANS-a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction
define denaturization - ANS-change the nature or natural qualities of a substance
define homeostasis - ANS-maintaining of a stable enviroment
define matter - ANS-anything that takes up space and has mass
define nucleus, proton, electron, neutron - ANS-nucleus- central part of atom
proton- positive charge
electron- negative charge
neutron- no electrical charge
define phagocytosis - ANS-engulfs solids from surroundings
define pinocytosis - ANS-engulfs liquids from surrondings
define reactant - ANS-starting materials of reactions
define synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions - ANS-Synthesis- A+B=AB
Decomposition- AB=A+B
exchange- AB+CD=AD+BC
dense CT - ANS-bind body parts together
elastic and collegenous fibers, few fibroblasts
tendons, ligaments, dermis
depression - ANS-
descending tracts - ANS-pathways by which motor signals are sent from the brain to lower
motor neurones. The lower motor neurones then directly innervate muscles to produce
movement
