which of the following statements accurately defines distal -
ANSWER>>> away from the point of origin, generally of a limb

Which of the following statements accurately defines superficial? -
ANSWER>>> Toward the body surface/skin

Which of the following statements accurately defines deep? -
ANSWER>>> away from the body surface/toward the body interior

Which of the following statements accurately defines dorsal body
cavity? - ANSWER>>> on the posterior side of the body; contains the
cranial and spinal cavities

Which of the following statements accurately defines ventral body
cavity? - ANSWER>>> on the anterior side of the body; contains the
thoracic and adominopelvic cavities

,Which of the following statements accurately defines serous
membrane? - ANSWER>>> Double-layered membrane that produces
serous fluid to lubricate the organs in the cavity

Which the following statements accurately defines sagittal plane? -
ANSWER>>> Divides the body into right and left parts;sections made
parallel to the body's longitudinal axis?

Which of the following statements accurately defines frontal (coronal)
plane ? - ANSWER>>> Divides the body into an anterior part and
posterior part;section made parallel to the body's longitudinal axis

Which of the following statements accurately defines transverse
plane? - ANSWER>>> Divides the body into a superior part and an
inferior part;section made perpendicular to the body's longitudinal axis

Which of the following describes anatomical position? - ANSWER>>>
Body facing forward,, arms at the side,palms facing forward

Which of the following statements accurately defines lateral? -
ANSWER>>> Away from the body's midline

Which of the following statements accurately defines medial -
ANSWER>>> Toward the body's midline

which of the ollowing statements accurately defines pH? -
ANSWER>>> Measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions present
in a solution

which of the following statements accurately defines acid? -
ANSWER>>> Substance that releases (donates) hydrogen ions; has
a pH < 7

which of the following statements accurately defines base -
ANSWER>>> substance that accepts hydrogen ions; has a pH > 7

,which of the following statements accurately defines buffer? -
ANSWER>>> chemical that resists large swings in the pH of a
solution

which of the following statements accurately defines chemical reaction
- ANSWER>>> interaction between atoms and molecules in which
chemical bonds are formed, broken, or rearranged, or electrons are
transferred between molecules

which of the following statements accurately defines enzyme -
ANSWER>>> biological catalyst that speeds up a specific chemical
reaction

which of the following statements accurately defines polar covalent
bond - ANSWER>>> unequal sharing of electrons between two
atoms. the result is a partial positive charge on one atom and a partial
negative charge on another atom, known as a dipole

which of the following statements accurately defines a nonpolar
covalent bond - ANSWER>>> equal charing of electrons and thus the
resulting molecule does not have partial positive or negative ends

which of the following statements accurately defines ionic bond -
ANSWER>>> Forms between a metal and a nonmetal, and involves a
transfer of electrons and thus has a positive charge, and the nonmetal
has accepted electrons and thus has a negative charge

Bond results from the attraction between the positively charged cation
and the negatively charged anion

which of the following statements accurately defines cation -
ANSWER>>> metal that has donated electrons in order to obey the
octet rule. because it has fewer electrons than protons, it has a
positive charge

, which of the following statements accurately defines anion -
ANSWER>>> nonmetal that has accepted electrons in order in order
to obey the octet rule
with more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.

which of the following statements accurately defines valence elctrons -
ANSWER>>> electrons in the outer shell involved in chemical reaction

which of the following accurately defines solute - ANSWER>>>
substance present in solution in lower amounts; often a solid

which of the following accurately defines solvent - ANSWER>>>
substance present in a solution in higher amounts; often a liquid

which of the following statements accurately defines solubility -
ANSWER>>> the degree to which a solute will dissolve in a solvent

ANSWER>>> string of nucleic acids located in the nucleus of all cells;
contains instructions for building every protein in an organism

which of the following statements accurately defines plasma
membrane? - ANSWER>>> Boundary between the cell and the
external environment, regulates the movement of substances in and
out of the cell, composed of phospholipid bilayer and many other
components.

which of the following statements accurately defines cytoplasm? -
ANSWER>>> Region between the plasma membrane and the nuclear
membrane that contains cytosol and organelles

Which of the following statements accurately defines the nucleus? -
ANSWER>>> Control center of the cell; contains the cell's DNA

Which of the following statements accurately defines mitochondrion? -
ANSWER>>> Site of most of the cell's ATP production
