HESI A2 ANATOMY &
PHYSIOLOGY
How does the trachea remain open like a hollow tube - supporting
cartilaginous rings keep it open
What mineral is responsible for muscle contractions - calcium
Ossification occurs when - late stage of the fetal; after birth
ossification is the formation of bone
What is the hypothalamus responsible for or What does it do -
regulating temp., hunger, sleep, ect. It's a part of the brain that releases
other hormones and works with the vital pituitary gland. It maintains
balance.

testes
For females ovaries
Woman's avg. cycle is - 28 days cycle and ovulate on day 14
,What part of the ear allow you to hear? / What part of the ear allows
you to hear with tiny hairs through vibrations - cochlea
What organ is the most hollow - (stomach) or gallbladder
What are haversian canals/central canals - tubes that contain blood
vessels, lymph, and nerves which allow blood vessels to get to the bone
Muscle contraction - need calcium and ATP
What is important in diet for bones - calcium & phosphorus
What causes you to shiver when cold - skeletal muscles contraction to
produce heat
What protein catalyzes different reactions or processes - enzymes
What is true about carbohydrates - they serve as fuel for the body
Simple columnar epithelium does what - secretion or absorption
, Nerve tissue is composed of neurons and cognitive tissue cells that are
refer to as - neuroglia
In what area of the body would you find an especially thick stratum
corneum - heel of feet or palms
Testicular activity is under the control of what hormones - FSH and LH
What are the function of the medulla oblongata - it contains vital
centers that control heart action, blood vessel diameters and
respirations
Which hormone initiates the preparation of endometrium of the uterus
for pregnancy - estrogen
Where is vitamin K created - in the intestinal tract
Largest organ of the body is - the skin
