1. pituitary gland & milk production: The pituitary gland regulates milk production postpartum by
releasing prolactin.
2. corpus luteum & pregnancy: The corpus luteum in the ovary secretes hormones and progesterone to
maintain pregnancy
3. Pleura & Lung Protection: The pleura is a connective tissue membrane around the lungs, consisting of
visceral and parietal layers with fluid to reduce friction.
4. Ovulation: Ovulation is the release of an egg from a mature ovarian cycle for potential fertilization
5. ADH production by the hypothalamus: The hypothalamus synthesizes anti diuretic hormone to
regulate water balance
6. Blood exists glomerulus- efferent arteriole: Blood leaves the glomerulus of the kidney through
the efferent arteriole after filtration
7. Testosterone - androgen hormone: Testosterone is an androgen hormone responsible for male
traits and reproductive function.
8. A control group: Used as a benchmark in experiments and does not receive the experimental treatment. It
is compared against the experimental group to assess the effect of the independent variable
9. Totipotent cell: Totipotent cells can develop into any type of cells in the body, including those for the placenta
and tissues supporting fetal development
10. Melanin & skin protection: Melanin is a pigment in the skin that protects against UV radiation by
absorbing and dispersing harmful rays.
11. Cytoskeleton composition: Proteins: The cytoskeleton is made of proteins, providing cell structure and
movement.
12. Cytokines in the immune system: Cytokines are immune signaling molecules that activate and
direct immune responses.
13. Osteoporosis causes:: Osteoporosis is due to decreased osteoblast activity (bone-building) while osteo-
clast activity (bone-breaking) continues.
14. How many meters are in a door: 2
15. Seperation: Electrophoresis is a technique for Seperation DNA fragments by size through and electric field
16. Spell crucial: Crucial not crutial
17. Atomic number: The atomic number equals the number of protons in an atom (an atom with 12 protons
has an atomic number of 12)
18. ADH production by the hypothalamus: The hypothalamus synthesizes antidiuretic hormone
(ADH) to regulate water balance

19. catalysts in chemical reactions: Catalysts speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy
without being consumed
20. Plasma B cells & antibodies: Plasma B cells produce and release antibodies as part of the immune
system's defense
21. Osmosis & water movement: Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane from low to
high solute concentration.
22. Tsunamis caused by earthquakes: Tsunamis result from underwater earthquakes or volcanic
activity.
23. Water Polarity & Solvent Ability: Water's polarity allows it to dissolve various substances due to its
partial charges.
24. Nitrogen atoms: form three bonds
25. Psoriasis: chronic, recurrent dermatosis marked by itchy, scaly, red plaques covered by silvery gray scales
26. Endocardium: inner lining of the heart
27. Alveoli: tiny sacs of lung tissue specialized for the movement of gases between air and blood
28. Biological Macromolecules: A group of biomacromolecules that interact with biological systems and
their environments.
29. Lysosomes: Uses chemicals to break down food and worn out cell parts
30. Melanocytes: cells that produce melanin
31. ball and socket joint: hip and shoulder joints
32. Genetic crosses: The possible combinations of alleles, & can be represented using Punnett Squares
33. Cecum: a pouch connected to the junction of the small and large intestines.
34. renal vein: blood vessel that carries blood away from the kidney and toward the heart
35. Approximate threshold value for mammalian neurons: -55 mV
36. Which of the following endocrine organs in the diagram below is involved in
regulating milk production following childbirth: pituitary gland
37. Which of the following is a group that can be measured against the experi-
mental group: control group
38. Which of the following is the atomic number of an atom that has 12 protons
and 12 neutrons: 12
39. Which of the following is the process in which an ovarian follicular matures
and releases a reproductive egg: Ovulation
