ATI TEAS VI (6) – SCIENCE QUESTIOS AND
ANSWERS LATEST SOLUTIONS
Anatomical Position Correct Answers: Standard positioning of the body as standing; feet together;
arms to the side; with head, eyes, and palms of hands forward
Cells Correct Answers: The basic structural unit of an organism from which living things are created
Cellular Functions Correct Answers: Processes that include growth, metabolism, replication, protein
synthesis, and movement
Body Cavities Correct Answers: spaces within the body that contain and protect internal organs
Organ Systems Correct Answers: Functional groups of organs that work together within the body:
Circulatory, integumentary, skeletal, reproductive, digestive, urinary, respiratory, endocrine,
lymphatic, muscular, nervous; 11 total
Organelle Correct Answers: A specialized part of a cell that has a specific function
Organ Correct Answers: A self-contained part of an organism that performs a specific function
Reference Planes Correct Answers: Planes dividing the body to describe locations: sagittal, coronal,
and transverse
Sagittal/Lateral Plane Correct Answers: A vertical plane running from front to back; divides the body
or any of its parts into right and left sides; Left/Right division
Coronal/Frontal Plane Correct Answers: A vertical plane running from side to side; divides the body
or any of its parts into anterior and posterior portions; Front/Back division
Transverse/Axial Plane Correct Answers: A horizontal plane; divides the body or any of its parts into
upper and lower parts; Top/Bottom division
Tissue Correct Answers: A group of cells with similar structure that function together as a unit, but at
a lower level than organs
Centrosome Correct Answers: Forms mitotic spindle (cell division); Builds microtubules (non dividing
cells)
Cilia/Flagella Correct Answers: Movement
Ribosomes Correct Answers: Protein Synthesis
Rough ER Correct Answers: Protein synthesis and processing
Smooth ER Correct Answers: Fatty acid and steroid (lipid) synthesis
, Endoplasmic Reticulum Correct Answers: The transport network that is responsible for the
transference of proteins throughout a cell; a network of membranes found throughout the cell
Golgi Apparatus/Complex Correct Answers: Packages and sends proteins; Assists in the transport,
but is not the actual transport network
Lysosomes Correct Answers: Break down/digest molecules
Mitochondria Correct Answers: ATP Production
Nucleus Correct Answers: Controls structure, produces ribosomes, and directs cell
Peroxisome Correct Answers: Oxidation and detoxification
Proteasome Correct Answers: Degrades bad proteins
Cytoskeleton Correct Answers: Cell shape, support, and movement (includes microtubules,
microfilaments, and intermediate filaments)
Superior Correct Answers: Towards the head of the body
Inferior Correct Answers: Away from the head
Anterior Correct Answers: Front
Posterior Correct Answers: Back
Lateral Correct Answers: Away from midline
Medial Correct Answers: Towards midline
Proximal Correct Answers: Toward center of body/point of attachment
Distal Correct Answers: Away from center of body/point of attachment
Alveoli Correct Answers: Tiny air sacs i the lungs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
takes place
Asthma Correct Answers: A lung disease characterized by inflamed, narrowed airways and difficulty
breathing
Bronchi Correct Answers: The main passageways directly attached to the lungs
Bronchioles Correct Answers: Small passages in the lungs that connect bronchi to alveoli
Cystic Fibrosis Correct Answers: A genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other organs,
characterized by difficulty breathing, coughing up sputum, and lung infections
Perfusion Correct Answers: The passage of fluid to an organ or a tissue
