ATI TEAS 6 Science Exam Latest Updated 2024
What causes osteoporosis?- Break down of bone occurring faster than the
synthesizing of bone, causing them to become porous and brittle
Autonomic Sympathetic Nervous System Responsible for:- Fight or flight
response. Ex. epinephrine
Autonomic Parasympathetic Nervous System Responsible for:- Involuntary
actions like breathing and heart rate
What Is the Function of a Neuron?- Transmit information through electrical
impulses
What is the Function of the Myelin Sheath?- Increase the speed of the electrical
impulses
,Where are blood cells made?- bone marrow of long bones
What produces antibodies?- B lymphocytes and plasma cells
A Person who is Sick May Have- An increase in white blood cells
hormones secreted by the pancreas
Gastrin - aids in digestion
Glucagon - signals cells to release their glucose into the blood stream
Insulin - signals cells to uptake glucose
Somatostatin - maintains balance of glucose and/or salt in the blood
Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide - helps control water secretion and absorption in the
intestines
Ovaries
,Produce progesterone and estrogen
Testes
produce testosterone and sperm
Amylase
Breaks down starch, which is a carbohydrate. (salivary amylase in the mouth)
Pepsin
A stomach enzyme that is involved in breaking down protein
Lactase
Breaks down lipase into glucose and galactose
Lipase
An enzyme that digests lipids
Cause of Cell Differentiation
Different cells express alternate genetic information, different subsets of genes
, Genetic Similarities
Can be used to infer evolutionary relationships
Cowpers Gland
Exclusive to males, found in sperm
B-Cells
Mature into plasma cells, where antibodies are secreted
cell membrane
A cell structure that controls which substances can enter or leave the cell. Often
called the plasma membrane. Has phospholipid bilayer that is hydrophilic on the
outer layer, and a inner hydrophobic layer facing each other
selective permeability
A property of a plasma membrane that allows some substances to cross more
easily than others. O2 and H20 are small enough to pass through. Ions with like
charges are repelled, while opposite ions are attracted to the cell's surface.
Molecules soluble in phospholipids can also pass. Those who cannot pass need an
active transport or vesicle
