Elastin is the principal adhesive glycoprotein in connective tissue. C. Fibronectin forms a hydrated gel to allow the ECM to resist compressive forces. D. Glycosaminoglycans allow skin and lungs to stretch without tearing. E. Laminin imparts resilience to tissues such as cartilage. - A A 32-y...

ASU BIO 100 EXAM 3 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS RATED A+ **Describe the roles of each bodily system: Digestive** Breaks down food both mechanically and chemically. Absorbs nutrients. Eliminates undigested waste. **Describe the roles of each bodily system: Cardiovascular (respiratory and circulatory)** Transports blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients, regulates body temperature, and provides immunity. **Describe the roles of each bodily system: Immune** Fights infections, maintains homeo...

NBME PATHOLOGY EXAM WITH LATEST VERIFIED QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+ Apoptosis: - ANS-Programmed cell death. REQUIRES ATP. Can occur via the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, both of which involve activation of cytosolic caspases which mediate cellular breakdown. ***Unlike necrosis, apoptosis does not involve significant inflammation. Involves eosinophilic cytoplasm, cell shrinkage, pyknosis and basophilia, membrane blebbing and karyorrhexis, and formation of apoptot...

1. What are the three major constitutes of plasma membranes and how are membranes of eukaryotic cells organized? - answer--cholesterol, integral membrane protein, phospholipids. Cells are enclosed by a semipermeable membrane. The membrane serves as a barrier and regulates cell size and function. Membranes also surround intracellular structures (ex. mito, lysosomes). Within the cell (cytosol): ions, proteins, water, and many organelles. 2. There are several types of proteins in the plasma me...

Actin A globular protein that links into chains, two of which twist helically about each other, forming microfilaments in muscle and other contractile elements in cells. active transport Energy-requiring process that moves material across a cell membrane against a concentration difference What is a hemidesmosome? the underlying basement membrane half desmosomes keeps the epithelium from peeling away from the underlying tissue Hydrophilic water loving Hydrophobic Water fearing integral membr...

Hyperventilation leads to a decreased blood CO2 correct answers Rate of CO2 exhalation exceeds the rate of CO2 production in the cells Which of the following best describes how a shift to the right in the dissociation curve in Figure 1 results in more oxygen delivered to tissue? correct answers The distance between the curves at 100 mmHg is less than the distance between the curves at 40 mmHg In RBCs bicarbonate can exchanged for chloride in the plasma. Why do red blood cells in venous cir...

Biol 253 Exam 1 All Answers Correct universal function of membranes to act as a selective barrier to the passage of molecules functions of plasma membranes 1. regulate passage of substances in and out of cells and between cell organelles and cytosol 2. detect chemical messengers arriving at the cell surface 3. link adjacent cells together by membrane junctions 4. anchor cells to the extracellular matrix integral membrane protein closely associated with membrane lipids can't be e...
