26
Q

Where do you find a moist slippery double layered serious membrane?

A

The ventral cavity

27
Q

What are the parts of the series membrane

A

The visceral layer, parietal layer

28
Q

The visceral there

A

Lines the organ or a cavity

29
Q

The parietal layer

A

Lines the wall of the cavity

30
Q

Pleurae refers to the

A

Lungs

31
Q

Inflammation of the lungs is called

A

Pleurisy

32
Q

Peritoneum refers to

A

The abdominal cavity

33
Q

The peritonium has double layered folds called what?

A

Mesenteries

34
Q

What does the mesenteries do?

A

Extends from the body wall to the viscera, holding these organs in place

35
Q

Organs that lie behind the parietal peritoneal

A

The pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, sex organs, urinary bladder, Duodenum of the small intestines, and ascending and descending colon

36
Q

How can the Abdominal pelvic cavity be divided

A

By being split into quadrants by transverse and mid sagittal plane passing through the umbilicus.

37
Q

What is the most important tool in biology

A

Compound microscope

38
Q

How do you clean the lens of a microscope

A

Use lens cleaner and lens tissue or Kim wipes

39
Q

How do you pick up a microscope

A

One hand on arm, one hand under the base

40
Q

Condenser lens

A

Concentrate and directs the light up to the specimen

41
Q

Resolution

A

Ability to distinguish the fine detail of a viewed object

42
Q

Course focus

A

Controls working distance between slide and objective lens

43
Q

Object stage

A

Platform for viewing specimens on slides

44
Q

Fine focus

A

Permits depth perception of viewed objects

45
Q

Iris diaphragm

A

Controls the amount of light emitted to the specimen

46
Q

Parfocal

A

Ability to change magnification without refocusing

47
Q

Revolving nose piece

A

Supports the objective lenses

48
Q

Mechanical stage

A

49
Q

What does image reversal mean under a microscope

A

Object will appear flipped upside down and flipped left to right

50
Q

Total magnification

A

Any combination of the objective lens and ocular lens is simply the product of the magnification of each

51
Q

The ocular lens magnification is always

A

10 times

52
Q

The objective lens magnification can be

A

Four times, 10 times, or 40 times

53
Q

The total magnification for each of the objective lenses would be

A

10×4 would equal 40, 10×10 would equal 100, 10×40 would equal 400

54
Q

However if given the total magnification you would just need to find the variable that’s missing by

A

Dividing

55
Q

A

Increases

56
Q

As the total magnification of a compound microscope changes from 100 to 400 deaths of focus

A

Decreases
