NCTI A&P FINAL QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
Decompsition reaction - ANSWERSA reaction in which a single compound breaks down
to form two or more simpler substances (breaks substances apart)
AB --> A+B
synthesis reaction - ANSWERSa reaction in which two or more substances combine to
form a new compound
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
exchange reaction - ANSWERSParts of the reacting molecules are shuffled around to
produce new products
AB + CD --> AD + CB
Reversible reaction - ANSWERSa chemical reaction in which the products re-form the
original reactants
Organic components of the body - ANSWERSCarbohydrates, lipids (including
phospholipids), proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids
types of cell division - ANSWERSmitosis and meiosis
mitosis - ANSWERSa type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having
the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary
tissue growth
Meiosis - ANSWERSCell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually
reproducing organisms
Osmosis vs. Diffusion - ANSWERSOsmosis is movement of water from an area of high
concentration to low concentration, diffusion is a moment of any atom from high to low
concentration
isotonic solutions - ANSWERSany external solution that has the same solute
concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
0.9% sodium chloride
, hypotonic solution - ANSWERSHypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of
dissolved solutes than blood. An example of a hypotonic IV solution is 0.45% Normal
Saline (0.45% NaCl). When hypotonic IV solutions are infused, it results in a decreased
concentration of dissolved solutes in the blood as compared to the intracellular space.
RBC burts
hypertonic solution - ANSWERSHypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of
dissolved particles than blood. An example of hypertonic IV solution is 3% Normal
Saline (3% NaCl). When infused, hypertonic fluids cause an increased concentration of
dissolved solutes in the intravascular space compared to the cells.
RBC crenate
ions dissolved in an aqueous solution - ANSWERSwater is the solvent
dorsal cavity - ANSWERScontains the brain and spinal cord
ventral cavity - ANSWERSthoracic cavity and abdominopelvic cavity
thoracic cavity - ANSWERScontains heart and lungs
pericardial cavity - ANSWERScontains the heart
plueral cavity - ANSWERScontains the lungs
abdominopelvic cavity - ANSWERSabdominal cavity and pelvic cavity
pelvic cavity - ANSWERSContains urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and rectum
left upper quadrant - ANSWERSspleen, stomach, pancreas
right upper quadrant - ANSWERSLiver, Right Kidney, Colon, Gallbladder
left lower quadrant - ANSWERSintenstines
right lower quadrant - ANSWERScecum, appendix, right ovary and tube, right ureter,
right spermatic cord
Basic Skull Anatomy - ANSWERSThe diencephalon mediates sensations, manages
emotions, and commands whole internal systems. The cerebellum adjusts body
movements, speech coordination, and balance, while the brain stem relays signals from
the spinal cord and directs basic internal functions and reflexes. Cerebrum is the largest
part of the brain. It is divided into two hemispheres, or halves, called the cerebral
hemispheres. Areas within the cerebrum control muscle functions and also control
speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning.
