Question 1

Erythropoietin

Answer 1

produced in the kidney in response to low levels of oxygen (hypoxia) in order to stimulate production of red blood cells.

Question 2

During dehydration, secretions of what are released antidiuretic hormone, renin, and aldosterone are increased in order to prevent further loss of water in the urine.

Answer 2

secretions of antidiuretic hormone, renin, and aldosterone are increased in order to prevent further loss of water in the urine

Question 3

ribosome function

Answer 3

decode mRNA and assemble amino acids for protein synthesis

Question 4

kidney nephron segments (6)

Answer 4

• glomerulus
  -proximal convoluted tubule
• descending loop of henle
• ascending loop of henle
• distal tubule
• collecting duct

Question 5

glomerulus function

Answer 5

filters small solutes from the blood

Question 6

proximal convoluted tubule

Answer 6

reabsorbs ions, water and nutrients
- secretes solutes and water

Question 7

descending loop of henle

Answer 7

aquaporins allow water to pass from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid

Question 8

distal convoluted tubule

Answer 8

secretes and absorbs different salts to maintain blood pH

Question 9

ascending loop of henle

Answer 9

reasborbs sodium and chloride from the filtrate into the interstitial fluid

Question 10

collecting duct

Answer 10

collects urine and transporting to pelvis

Question 11

right atrium function

Answer 11

receives oxygen poor blood from vena cava and pumps it to the right ventricle

Question 12

left atrium function

Answer 12

receives oxygen rich blood from pulmonary veins and empties it into the left ventricle

Question 13

pulmonary artery

Answer 13

carries oxygen poor blood away from the heart

Question 14

do viruses have dna or rna

Answer 14

they have either dna or rna, but not both

Question 15

4 chambers of the heart

Answer 15

right atrium, left atrium,
right ventricle, left ventricle

Question 16

right ventricle function

Answer 16

pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs

Question 17

left ventricle function

Answer 17

pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic circuit

Question 18

atrium vs ventricle

Answer 18

atrium RECEIVE blood
ventricle PUMP OUT blood

Question 19

arteries

Answer 19

thick walled vessels that carry oxygenated blood AWAY from heart

Question 20

veins

Answer 20

thinner walled vessels that carry deoxygenated blood to the heart

Question 21

order of blood through the heart

Answer 21

-oxygen poor blood rills right atrium + is pumped intro right ventricle
- then pumped into pulmonary artery and lungs
- then blood is oxygenated and reenters the heart at the left atrium which pumps into left ventricle to push blood out to the organs

Question 22

which of the heart chambers is the largest

Answer 22

left ventricle bc it pushes blood out to the organs

Question 23

3 types of proteins

Answer 23

fibrous, membrane, and globular

Question 24

how many tissues does the uterus have

Answer 24

3
endometrium, myometrium, perimetrium

Question 25

duodenum

Answer 25

1st section of small intestine that receives chyme and further digests it

Question 26

digestive system in order

Answer 26

mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, anus

Question 27

small intestine function

Answer 27

digestion of food and absorption of nutrients

Question 28

small intestine order

Answer 28

duodenum, jejunum, and ileum

Question 29

large intestine function

Answer 29

reabsorption of water into the body
