EEMB 7 exam 2 ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Anatomy - CORRECT ANSWERS biological form of an organism
Physiology - CORRECT ANSWERS biological function
Tissues - CORRECT ANSWERS Groups of cells with a common
structure and function.
Organs - CORRECT ANSWERS Groups of tissues that work together to
perform a specific function or related functions
Organ Systems - CORRECT ANSWERS A group of organs that work
together in performing vital body functions.
types of tissues - CORRECT ANSWERS epithelial, connective,
muscular, nervous
Muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS A body tissue that contracts or
shortens, making body parts move.
types of muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS skeletal, cardiac,
smooth
smooth muscle - CORRECT ANSWERS found in the walls of many
internal organs. Smooth muscles are responsible for involuntary activities, such
as churning of the stomach and constriction of arteries.
,Skeletal muscle - CORRECT ANSWERS a muscle that is connected to
the skeleton to form part of the mechanical system that moves the limbs and
other parts of the body. Responsible for voluntary movements
Connective tissue - CORRECT ANSWERS A body tissue that provides
support for the body and connects all of its parts
Endocrine system - CORRECT ANSWERS Glands secrete hormones
that regulate processes such as growth, reproduction, and nutrient use
(metabolism) by body cells.
Nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS the network of nerve cells and
fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.
Hormones - CORRECT ANSWERS chemical messengers that are
manufactured by the endocrine glands, travel through the bloodstream, and
affect other tissues
Endocrine glands - CORRECT ANSWERS Glands of the endocrine
system that release hormones into the bloodstream
Hypothalamus - CORRECT ANSWERS A neural structure lying below
the thalamus; helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is
linked to emotion and reward. Releases hormones to tell the anterior and
posterior pituitary when to release (secrete) its hormones
Negative feedback - CORRECT ANSWERS A primary mechanism of
homeostasis, whereby a change in a physiological variable that is being
monitored triggers a response that counteracts the initial fluctuation.
, Positive feedback - CORRECT ANSWERS a control mechanism in
which the response reinforces the stimulus, leading to an even greater response
Pituitary gland - CORRECT ANSWERS The endocrine system's most
influential gland. Under the influence of the hypothalamus, the pituitary
regulates growth and controls other endocrine glands.
Posterior pituitary - CORRECT ANSWERS an extension of the
hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary stores and secretes hormones synthesized
in the hypothalamus. regulated by nerves connected to the hypothalamus
Anterior pituitary - CORRECT ANSWERS gland that both synthesizes
and secretes hormones. regulated by vessels connected to the hypothalamus
Oxytocin - CORRECT ANSWERS A hormone released by the posterior
pituitary that stimulates uterine contractions during childbirth and milk ejection
during breastfeeding.
Vasopressin (ADH) - CORRECT ANSWERS a hormone that helps
regulate blood pressure, water balance, and sodium levels in the body. Prevents
the kidneys from expelling too much water.
Epinephrine - CORRECT ANSWERS Neurotransmitter secreted by the
adrenal medulla in response to stress. Also known as adrenaline.
Regulator - CORRECT ANSWERS uses internal mechanisms to control
internal change in the face of external fluctuation.
Conformer - CORRECT ANSWERS allows its internal condition to
change in accordance with external changes. limited adaptability
