comes less acidic when mixed
with bases.
3. Which is NOT true of epithelial A) it is vascular
tissue? - Epithelial tissue is avascular, menaing it lacks bblood vessels.
a) it is vascular
b) it rest on a basement mem-
brane
c) it helps form certain glands
d) it lines cavities in the body

5. The imaginary line that sepa- Transverse plane
rates the body into superior - the transverse (horizontal) plane separates the body into
and inferior regions is called superior (upper) and inferior (lower) parts. The sagittal, or
the ___. vertical plane separates the body into left and right halves, and
the coronal plane separates the body into dorsal and ventral
(back and front) sections.

The pyloric sphincter is locat- The stomach and small intestine.
ed between ___. - the pyloric sphincter permits food to pass from the stomach
to the small intestine.
7. Blood vessels enter and exit foramina
bones through ___. - Foramina are small openings in the body which allow cranial
nerves, arteries, and veins to pass through solid structures.
8. Which cells are responsible osteoblasts
for bone formation? - osteoblasts are the main cells that make up bones. In orga-
nized groups, they produce a calcium and phosphate-based
mineral that helps contribute to bone strength and density.
9. Which one of these is a rea- They contain nervous and connective tissue
son bones are considered to - Although it may not seem like it, bones are rigid organs. In
be organs? order to be classified as an organ, in addition to performing
a certain function in the body, a structure must contain more
than one type of tissue. So, because bones are made of both
nervous and connective tissues, they meet one of the criteria of
an organ. The other answer choices about cells and framework
are true, but these are not reasons why bones are considered
an organ.
10. What is the correct order of Cecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon,
the flow of waste through the sigmoid colon.
large intestine? - From ingestion to excretion, the correct order that waste
travels through the body is cecum, ascending colon, transverse
colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon.
11. A person with AB- should NOT AB+
receive blood from which oth- - Although both AB+ and AB- blood have A and B antigens,
er blood type? the person with AB- blood lacks a special protein, or "Rhesus"
Factor (Rh), circulating in their blood. If they are given blood

that has the Rh factor present, their body will make antibodies
to this foreign substance and complication will occur. This is
especially true in pregnancy situations where the mother is Rh-
and the baby she is carrying is Rh+
12. Which blood type is consid- O-
ered the universal donor? - O- blood lacks both A and B antigens and the Rh factor,
making it the only blood type that can donate to everyone.
- O- is the best donor because it does not have A, B, or Rh
antigens.
- AB+ is the universal receiver because it does not have A, B, or
Rh antibodies.
13. What us the ONLY artery Pulmonary artery
in the body to carry oxy- - Most arteries in the body carry oxygen-rich blood away from
gen-poor blood? the heart, but the pulmonary artery carries oxygen-poor blood
from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. The vena cava
would not be correct because it is not an artery, it is a vein and
the question as for artery.
14. Chocolate cysts of the ovaries Endometriosis
are attributed to ___. - Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue from the
uterus (endometrium) grows in other parts of the body, such
as the ovaries or bowel. If a woman has endometrial tissue in
her ovary, the tissue bleeds and builds up over time, and as the
blood ages it turns brown, hence the term "chocolate cysts".
15. Which is NOT true of synovial They are found in the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.
joints. - Instead of a synovial joint, the intervertebral discs of the
spinal column form a fibrocartilaginous joint, which allows
slight movement of the vertebrae of the spine.
16. True of SYNOVIAL JOINTS

- They have a fluid-filled cap-
sule that surrounds their ar-
ticulating surface.
- They are the most moveable
joint type in the body.
- They are the most common
joint in the body.
17. Ligaments connect ____. bone to bone
- Ligaments connect bone to bone, and tendons connect mus-
cle to bone.
18. What is the largest muscle in Sartorius
the human body? - The longest muscle in the human body is the sartorius muscle,
which is located in the anterior thigh.
19. Where is the hyoid bone locat- Neck
ed? - The hyoid bone is located between the chin and thyroid
cartilage
20. Which of these is considered SA node
the primary pacemaker of the - The sinoatrial (SA) node is located in the right atrium and is
heart? responsible for generating the electrical impulses that cause
the heart to beat.
21. In which location does a Fallopian tube
sperm cell first fertilize an - Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tube, after which
egg? time the fertilized egg travels to the uterus for implantation.
22. Where is interstitial fluid In the tissues around cells
found in the body? - interstitial fluid is the main component of the extracellular
fluid that surrounds the cells of multi-cellular animals.
