Ole Miss Bisc 102 Final EXAM 2025
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Since its invention in the 1980s, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a very common tool,
because PCR - ANS rapidly replicates DNA sequences without the use of living organisms.
The tissue type that acts as a lining of organs, serves in absorption and secretion, and also
conducts gas diffusion is - ANS epithelial.
If you were asked to list systems that are most critical for protecting the body from external
threats, you would list - ANS immune, and urinary.
When a blood clot begins to form, the enzyme thrombin is formed. Thrombin then activates the
enzymes that produce more thrombin. This is an example of ________ feedback. -
ANS positive
The study of the function of all of the body's parts is - ANS physiology
The tissue type that provides contractions that power movement is - ANS muscle.
The type of epithelial tissue that forms multiple layers of flattened cells is - ANS stratified
squamous

- ANS simple squamous
The part of the central nervous system that conducts information to and from the brain is the -
ANS spinal cord.
Odorous molecules are first detected in the nose and are transduced into receptor potentials,
which travel to the olfactory bulb and then to the cerebral cortex. - ANS True
Receptors for the general senses are - ANS found throughout the body.
The opening for light to enter into the eye is the - ANS pupil
The three types of neurons in the nervous system of humans are - ANS sensory neurons,
interneurons, and motor neurons.
The three major components of the human nervous system are - ANS seeing, feeling, and
hearing. (maybe)
What is an endocrine glad? - ANS pancreas, thyroid gland, ovaries, and testes
Which is not an endocrine gland? - ANS gallbladder
All of the glands of the vertebrate endocrine system are regulated by the -
ANS hypothalamus and pituitary gland.
Since parathyroid hormone causes calcium to be liberated from bone, blocking that hormone
could be a partial aid in dealing with loss of calcium from bone. - ANS True

, Which is incorrect? - ANS Both the nervous system and the endocrine system use
neurotransmitters to affect target cells.
An endocrine gland releases its product directly - ANS into the digestive system.
onto an outer epithelial surface.
into the circulatory system.X
into a body cavity.
All answers are correct.
Which is not an important function of calcium in vertebrates? - ANS homeostasis
The two closely allied organ systems that allow for running, swimming, and flying under the
direction of the nervous system are the - ANS muscular and skeletal systems.
If a growth plate is damaged before bone growth is complete, what may result? - ANS The
bone will not grow to its full length.
In muscle tissue, if there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration to occur, the muscle cell -
ANS can produce ATP by fermentation.
Muscle rich in fast-twitch fibers is darker than muscle rich in slow-twitch fibers. - ANS False
Functions of the vertebrate endoskeleton include - ANS both production of blood cells and
storage of calcium.
An increase in the number of red blood cells is called anemia. - ANS False
