ATI TEAS Secrets (TEAS 6) QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ALL CORRECT
Anatomy and Physiology Correct Answer: Flashcards
Blood pressure Correct Answer: the force exerted on the vessels of the cardiovasucular system as blood
is pumped through the body.
Capillaries Correct Answer: the smallest blood vessels in the cardiovascular system. The thin network of
vessels serves as the site of material exchange between arteries delivering blood and veins returning
blood to the heart.
Pulmonary ventilation Correct Answer: aka breathing. The process of air filling the lungs during
inspiration (inhalation) and releasing air form the lungs to the atmosphere during expiration (exhalation)
Bronchiole Correct Answer: are the small divisions of the bronchus, or air passage, found within the
lungs. They connect to alveoli and transport gases in and out of the lungs during respiration.
Larynx Correct Answer: hollow organ located in the neck on top of the trachea. In humans, the larynx
contains vocal cords. As air passes. over the larynx during respiration, the cords vibrate and create
sound that can be manipulated to make speech.
Chyme Correct Answer: a mixture of partially digested food and digestive juices that forms in the.
stomach and is passed through to the small intestine for further digestion.
bile Correct Answer: an acidic fluid that is produced by the liver and stores in the gall bladder. Bile aids
int he breakdown of fat macronutrients during digestion.
Colon Correct Answer: a part of the large intestine that connects the cecum to the rectum. the largest
part of the large intestine and is primarily responsible for water absorption and waste preparation.
nephron Correct Answer: are small, fine tubes in the kidney that create urine and filter waste and other
substances out of the blood.
Spermatogenesis Correct Answer: the process fo sperms development in males. Spermatogonia which
are sperm stem cells, give rise to spermatocytes in the seminiferous tubules within the testes.
menstrual cycle Correct Answer: occurs in human females as well as other female primates. The process
of ovulation (the release of the egg into the Fallopian tube) and menstruation, which is the shedding fo
the egg and uterine lining in the event fertilization does not occur.
somatic nervous system Correct Answer: a part of the peripheral nervous system and serves to control
voluntary movement of the skeletal and muscle systems.
Medulla oblongata Correct Answer: portion of the hindbrain that connects the brain to the spinal cord
and is primarily responsible for regulation of autonomic bodily functions.
