BIOL 121 EXAMPLE TEST FOR MOODLE
PAGE
1. Give four functions of the integumentary system. (4 marks)
2. This type of cell junction joins together the lateral surfaces of epithelial cells, and contains
cadherin (a transmembrane glycoprotein) and has intracellular plaques attached to keratin.
(1 mark)
3. This type of cell junction enables the passage of ions and small molecules from one cell to
the next. (1 mark)
4. This type of epithelium permits filtration or exchange via diffusion. (2 marks)
5. This kind of cartilage is the most widely distributed. It forms the articular cartilage at the end
of long bones. ............................. (1 mark)
6. What occurs in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle within the nephron? (2 marks)
7. In the renin – angiotensin-aldosterone system, a decrease in blood pressure or blood volume
results in reabsorption of salt and water in the ........................ ...............................................
and the ......................................................................... (2 marks)
8. What happens to the tubular fluid within the descending limb of the loop of Henle within the
nephron? (1
mark) ...........................................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................................................
.................
9. Name a type of cell found in bone and give 2 characteristics that you would expect to
observe when viewed down the microscope (1 mark for correct cell type and one for each
correct characteristic associated with cell that is listed). Maximum 3 marks
10. What type of collagen is predominantly found in bone?
..................................................................... (1 mark)
11. What is the name of the mineral component found in bone?
........................................................................................ (1 mark)
12. At the ………………… end of capillaries high ………………… pressure is able to overcome
the ...................... pressure that results from high protein levels in the blood. This gives a net
positive filtration pressure, and so fluid moves from the blood into the surrounding tissue.
(3 marks)
13. .............................. are the largest leukocyte. (1 mark)
14. List the three tubes that form the hepatocyte portal triad. (3 marks)
15. Name the process by which Hepatocytes are able to synthesise glucose from fats, lactic acid
or amino acids during starvation. (1 mark)
