Q

Eliminates nitrogenous wastes from the body. Regulates water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance of the blood?

URINARY SYSTEM

18
Q

Overall function is production of offspring. Testes produce sperm and male sex hormone, and male ducts and glands aid in delivery of sperm to the female reproductive tract?

A

MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

19
Q

Ability of the body to maintain relatively stable internal conditions even though the outside world changes continuously?

A

HOMEOSTASIS

20
Q

When a signal is bound to its receptor, a specific intracellular signal transduction pathway is triggered which leads to either1) cell fate changes or 2) morphogenetic responses?

A

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK MECHANISMS

21
Q

Form the basic structure of the membrane?

A

PHOSPHOLIPIDS

22
Q

Encloses the cell, separating the cytoplasm from the extracellular fluid?

A

PHYSICAL BARRIER

23
Q

Determines which substances enters or exit the cell?

A

SELECTIVE PERMEABILITY

24
Q

Plasma membrane proteins interact with specific chemical messengers and relay messages to the cell interior?

A

COMMUNICATION

25
Q

Cell surface carbohydrates allow cells to
recognize each other?

A

CELL RECOGNITION

26
Q

Diffuse directly through the lipid
bilayer (usually small nonpolar molecules that readily dissolve in lipids)?

A

SIMPLE DIFFUSION

27
Q

Either through a) binding to
carrier proteins or 2) through water filled channel
proteins?

A

FACILITATED DIFFUSION

28
Q

Diffusion of a solvent through a
membrane?

A

OSMOSIS

29
Q

Refers to the ability of a solution to change the shape of cells by altering the cells; internal water volume?

A

TONICITY

30
Q

Have the same concentrations of nonpenetrating solutes as those
found in the cells, retain shape, exhibit no net loss or gain of water?

A

ISOTONIC

31
Q

Higher concentration of nonpenetrating solutes than seen in the cell, lose water, shrivel or crenate?

A

HYPERTONIC

32
Q

More dilute than cells, cells plump up or lyse?

A

HYPOTONIC

33
Q

Requires transport proteins that combine specifically and reversibly with the transported substances?

A

ACTIVE TRANSPORT

34
Q

Also termed as voltage, electrical potential energy resulting from the separation of oppositely charged particles?

A

MEMBRANE POTENTIAL

35
Q

In which cells come
together, touch and recognize one
another. Useful in development and
immunity?

A

CONTACT SIGNALING

36
Q

Process in which a ligand (chemical messenger) binds a
specific receptor and initiates a
response?

A

CHEMICAL SIGNALING

37
Q

Signals from the nervous system?

A

NEUROTRANSMITTERS

38
Q

Signals from the endocrine system?

A

HORMONES

39
Q

Chemicals that act locally and are rapidly destroyed?
