Question 1

Match each term with its definition.
-Group of cells of the same type that join together for a common purpose

Accepted Answer

Tissues are groups of cells of the same type that join together for a common purpose, such as muscle tissue or nervous tissue.

Question 2

Match each term with its definition.
-Back side of the body

Accepted Answer

Posterior refers to the back side of the body, distinguishing it from the anterior, which refers to the front side.

Question 3

Match each term with its definition.
-Material within the chromosome that encodes the genes which are located at specific sites on the chromosome

Accepted Answer

DNA is the material within chromosomes that encodes genes, which are located at specific sites on the chromosome.

Question 4

Match each term with its definition.
-Structural malformation of the spine in which the posterior portion of the spinal tissues fails to close during the first 3 months of pregnancy

Accepted Answer

Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. This condition occurs during the first 3 months of pregnancy when the neural tube does not close completely, leading to a structural malformation of the spine.

Question 5

Match each term with its definition.
-Type of gene that can produce a trait without regard to the nature of its pair member

Accepted Answer

A dominant gene is one that can express its trait in the phenotype even if only one copy is present, overriding the expression of its allele (the other gene of the pair).

Question 6

Match each term with its definition.
-Upper portion of the abdominopelvic cavity

Accepted Answer

The abdominal region refers to the upper portion of the abdominopelvic cavity, which is located above the pelvic cavity.

Question 7

Match each term with its definition.
-Condition that exists when the internal environment is functioning properly and all the organs and tissues of the body are performing their appropriate tasks

Accepted Answer

Homeostasis refers to the stable state of internal conditions maintained by living systems, such as temperature and pH, which allows all organs and tissues to function properly.

Question 8

Match each term with its definition.
-Front side of the body

Accepted Answer

Anterior refers to the front side of the body.

Question 9

Match each term with its definition.
-Type of gene that does not result in a recognizable trait unless both members of the gene pair are of a similar mutation

Accepted Answer

A recessive gene is one that does not result in a recognizable trait unless both alleles (members of the gene pair) are the same or have a similar mutation. This means that an individual must inherit two copies of the recessive allele (one from each parent) for the trait to be expressed.

Question 10

Match each term with its definition.
-Process through which substances are moved from the inside of a cell to the outside

Accepted Answer

Exocytosis is the process through which substances are moved from the inside of a cell to the outside.

Question 11

Match each term with its definition.
-Two or more types of tissue that work together to perform a specific body function

Accepted Answer

Organs are structures composed of two or more types of tissues that work together to perform specific functions in the body.

Question 12

Match each term with its definition.
-Process through which large molecules are absorbed into a cell

Accepted Answer

Endocytosis is the process through which cells absorb large molecules by engulfing them.

Question 13

Match each term with its definition.
-Study of mechanisms by which disease occurs,the responses of the body to the disease process,and the effects of both on normal function

Accepted Answer

Pathophysiology is the study that focuses on the mechanisms of disease occurrence, how the body responds to diseases, and the impact of these factors on the body's normal functions.

Question 14

Match each term with its definition.
-Lower portion of the abdominopelvic cavity

Accepted Answer

The pelvic region refers to the lower portion of the abdominopelvic cavity, situated below the abdominal cavity and between the hip bones.

Question 15

Match each term with its definition.
-Generalized dysfunction of the exocrine glands,affecting multiple organ systems

Accepted Answer

Cystic fibrosis is characterized by a generalized dysfunction of the exocrine glands, affecting multiple organ systems, including the lungs, pancreas, and sweat glands.

Question 16

Match each term with its definition.
-Presence of a structural defect in the roof of the mouth

Accepted Answer

A cleft palate is a condition that involves a structural defect in the roof of the mouth, which can affect both the hard and soft palate.

Question 17

Match each term with its definition.
-Located toward the midline

Accepted Answer

Medial refers to a position or structure being closer to the midline or center of the body.

Question 18

Match each term with its definition.
-Diagram that describes how thousands of known marker sequences in the chromosomes separate and recombine

Accepted Answer

A genetic map is a diagram that shows the relative locations of genes or genetic markers on a chromosome. These maps are created by analyzing how often genes that are close together on a chromosome are inherited together, which helps in understanding how genes separate and recombine during the process of inheritance.

Question 19

Match each term with its definition.
-Located away from the midline

Accepted Answer

Lateral refers to being located away from the midline of the body.

Question 20

Match each term with its definition.
-Group of body organs that perform similar functions

Accepted Answer

A system is defined as a group of body organs that work together to perform one or more functions. Each organ in the system performs a specific function that contributes to the overall function of the system.
