APHY 101 IVY TECH LATEST 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS AND
SOLUTIONS SCORED A+
✔✔How is DNA replicated? - ✔✔The double helix is unwound and each strand acts as
a template for the next strand. Bases are matched to synthesize the new partner
strands
✔✔what is a mutation - ✔✔change in genetic information
✔✔how is RNA made? - ✔✔DNA transcription
✔✔Where do you find simple squamous tissue? - ✔✔lines air sacs, blood vessels, and
lymphatic vessels
✔✔Where do you find simple cuboidal tissue? - ✔✔line kidney tubules, ovaries, and
ducts
✔✔where do you find simple columnar tissue - ✔✔line uterus, stomach, intestines
✔✔where do you find pseudo-stratified columnar tissue - ✔✔line respiratory pathways
✔✔where do you find stratified squamous tissue - ✔✔line oral cavity, vagina, and anal
canal
✔✔where do you find stratified cuboidal tissue - ✔✔line ducts of mammary glands,
sweat glands,salivary glands, and pancreas
✔✔where do you find stratified columnar tissue - ✔✔line male urethra and part of
pharnyx
✔✔where do you find transitional tissue - ✔✔line urinary bladder, ureters, and part of
urethra
✔✔loose CT - ✔✔bind sin to structures
mainly fibroblasts, elastic and collagenous fibers
✔✔Adipose Tissue - ✔✔cushion, insulate, store fat
adipocytes
✔✔reticular CT - ✔✔reticular fibers
support internal organ walls
✔✔dense CT - ✔✔bind body parts together
elastic and collegenous fibers, few fibroblasts
, tendons, ligaments, dermis
✔✔elastic CT - ✔✔elastic fibers, fibroblasts
attachment between bones
✔✔Bone - ✔✔supports, protects, forms blood cells, attachment for muscles, skeleton
✔✔cartilage - ✔✔hyaline- nose, ends of bone
elastic- ear
fibrocartilage- intervertebral discs
✔✔blood - ✔✔transports, defends, clotting, throughout body
✔✔skeletal muscle - ✔✔attached to bone, striated, voluntary, many nuclei
✔✔smooth muscle - ✔✔walls of organs and blood vessels, skin, involuntary, striated,
single nuclei
✔✔cardiac muscle - ✔✔heart wall, involuntary, striated, intercalated discs, single nuclei
✔✔chondrocyte - ✔✔cells of cartilage
✔✔lacunae - ✔✔hole for chondrocyte
✔✔osteocyte - ✔✔cells of bone
✔✔lamellae - ✔✔thin calcified layer of bone
✔✔canaliculi - ✔✔canal or duct
✔✔neuron and neuroglial cell - ✔✔functional cells of neurons
✔✔neuron - ✔✔nerve cell
✔✔what pigments are used in determining skin color? - ✔✔melanin, melanoid, keratin,
hemoglobin, and oxyhemoglobin.
✔✔apocrine gland - ✔✔less numerous and found in the armpit, groin, and around the
nipples. Their secretions are thicker, whitish in color, and contain high amounts of
proteins. They secrete their product into associated hair follicles. Bacteria feed on this
secretion, which produces body odor
✔✔eccrine gland - ✔✔glands are more numerous and found all over the body. They
secrete clear, watery sweat with dissolved salts, electrolytes, and organic wastes. They
