Structure and Function (multiple choice) Flashcards
Histology is the macro and microscopic study of
Cells
Organ Systems
Tissues
Medical terminology
Tissues
Which of the following is the correct order to describe the levels of organisation in Anatomy and Physiology (starting from the smallest)
Chemical, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
Cellular, organ, organismal, tissue, organ system
Cellular, tissue, organismal, organ system
Chemical, cellular, tissue, organ, organ system, organismal
There are four basic types of tissue in all mammals including humans, they are:
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue
Endothelial tissue, bone tissue, fluid tissue (blood) and nervous tissue
Cardiac tissue, Skeletal muscle tissue, connective tissue and organ tissue
Parenchyma, bone tissue, blood tissue, cardiac tissue and brain tissue
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue and nervous tissue
Which best describes epithelial tissues? – Read carefully.
A mixture of cells that are held together in an extensive matrix with many fibres, their role is to support other tissues
Composed of rows and or stacks of neatly arranged cells of similar type. They have very little extra cellular matrix, they form glands and cover and line other tissues
Elastic tissues that help a structure to stretch they are composed of multiple elastic fibres
A dense solid tissue with proteoglycan and mineral, like cartilage or bone
Composed of rows and or stacks of neatly arranged cells of similar type. They have very little extra cellular matrix, they form glands and cover and line other tissues
Which statement best describes connective tissue?
Dense tissues with mineral incorporated into the matrix
Liquid tissues like blood
A mixture of cell types surrounded by large quantities of extra-cellular matrix. The matrix can be solid, or liquid and often contains fibres.
Rows and or stacks of neatly arranged cells of similar type, with very little extra cellular matrix between them.
A mixture of cell types surrounded by large quantities of extra-cellular matrix. The matrix can be solid, or liquid and often contains fibres.
Cell respiration is:
The action of the lungs at alveolar level
The exchange of gases at the lung surface
The use of carbon dioxide to trigger ventilation
The use of oxygen to help breakdown glucose molecules in the powerhouse of the cell (mitochondria) in order to release energy
The use of oxygen to help breakdown glucose molecules in the powerhouse of the cell (mitochondria) in order to release energy
Which one of the following is a molecule:
Sodium
Potassium
Water
Chloride
Water
Metabolism is:
The building up and breaking down chemical processes in a cell
The physical cardiovascular fitness of an individual
The speedy athletic in action
The number of calories in a certain food type
The building up and breaking down chemical processes in a cell
Homeostasis is
Chemical activity in the ribosome of the cell
The finely tuned balance of various physiological processes to keep physiological variables within an optimal healthy range
To keep blood values at the same quantitative level
Keeping certain muscles still despite contraction activity at a microscopic level
The finely tuned balance of various physiological processes to keep physiological variables within an optimal healthy range
One of these is not a component of a homeostatic control mechanism
Receptor
Integration centre
Effector
Competitive inhibitor
Competitive inhibitor
One of these mechanisms represents a positive feedback mechanism.
Regulation of thyroid hormone
Regulation of temperature
Regulation of contraction of the uterine muscles during childbirth
Regulation of the amount of glucose in the blood
Regulation of contraction of the uterine muscles during childbirth
Which best describes a negative feedback loop
Used to control infrequent events that do not require constant adjustment
Causes the variable to change in a direction opposite to the initial change to return to the “ideal” value.
Cells working against one another to bring balance
Cells working together to enhance a process
Causes the variable to change in a direction opposite to the initial change to return to the “ideal” value.
When we are using a reference model for anatomy of the human to help us describe direction or structures in relation to others we see
The model stands with his/her palms facing away from the viewer
The model stands with his/her palms turned towards the viewer
The model stands with his arms tucked away as the upper limbs are not relevant
The model can stand in any position as long as the viewer can see the individuals face
The model stands with his/her palms turned towards the viewer
A term that means “away from the midline” see below, is called:
Distal
Lateral
Medial
Proximal
Lateral
The anatomical term often associated with limbs to describe closer to the insertion point (thus nearer to the main body) is called
Distal
Lateral
Medial
Proximal
Proximal
The thoracic cavity contains:
The lungs, the diaphragm and the stomach
The lungs, the pleural membranes, the heart and the thymus
The lungs, the heart and the liver
The lungs, the heart, the stomach and the pancreas
The lungs, the pleural membranes, the heart and the thymus
The membrane sac that covers and anchors the abdominal organs and vessels, is called the:
Periosteum
Perineum
Peritoneum
Pericardium
Peritoneum
Adduction means
To move a limb away from the body midline
To move a limb in towards the body midline
To bend a limb toward the body
To move the limb 360 degrees to form a circular movement
To move a limb in towards the body midline
