VERIFIED QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED ANSWERS – NEWLY RELEASED!
Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS-The branch of science that studies the structure of the body
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWERS-The branch of science that describes how the body
functions
Homeostasis - CORRECT ANSWERS-Literally means staying the same
Diffusion - CORRECT ANSWERS-The most common transport mechanism, it is the movement
of a substance from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Osmosis - CORRECT ANSWERS-The diffusion if water through a selectively permeable
membrane
Isotonic solution - CORRECT ANSWERS-Has the same concentration as intracellular fluid
Hypotonic solution - CORRECT ANSWERS-If an RBC is placed in pure water, then moved into
the cell by osmosis. It causes RBCs to burst in a process referred to as hemolysis
Hypertonic Solution - CORRECT ANSWERS-If a red blood cell is placed within a very
concentrated salt solution, water diffuses out of the red blood cell, into the bathing solution, causing the
red blood cell to shrink.
