This is a term used to describe the portion of your skeletal system that excludes the bones found in your arms and legs.
What is the axial skeleton?
This type of muscle is voluntary and is directly responsible for use being able to walk around, lift stuff, etc.
What is skeletal muscle?
This is a condition in which the O2-carrying capacity of the body is reduced due to vitamin deficiencies, mineral deficiencies, blood loss, RBC destruction, kidney failure, an inability to produce erythropoietin, etc.
What is anemia?
These are blood vessels that take blood away from the heart.
What are arteries?
A father is type AB. A mother is type AB. These are the possible blood types of their children (Give all possible blood types).
What are:
-Type A
-Type B
-Type AB
This is a term used to describe the portion of your skeletal system that excludes your skull, facial bones, vertebrae, and the bones that make up your pelvic girdle.
What is the appendicular skeleton.
This type of muscle is involuntary and lines our organs, giving them support and the ability to move solids and liquids through out bodies.
What is smooth muscle?
These are the chemical "tags" (e.g. carbohydrates or proteins) that stick off of cells and are used to communicate to other cells which host they belong to and what kind of cells they are.
What are antigens?
This is the location in the circulatory system where nutrients and gases can be deposited to cells around the body and where waste can be picked up to be transported out of the body.
What are the capillaries?
A person has Type AB blood. These are the antibodies they will produce.
What is none?
This is the name of the bone commonly called "the knee cap".
What is the patella?
This is a modified smooth endoplasmic reticulum that stores calcium for use in muscle contractions/
What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
These proteins are responsible for attaching to the proteins/carbohydrates on the outer surface of pathogens, signaling to the immune system that the pathogen is present and must be destroyed.
What is an antibody?
This is the process by which smooth muscle wrapped around an arteriole (precapillary sphincter) loosens to allow a greater amount of blood to flow into the capillaries.
What is vasodilation?
A father has Type A blood and a mother is Type B. These are the possible blood types for their offspring (Give all possible blood types).
What are:
-Type A
-Type B
-Type AB
-Type O
This is the name for the dense, proteinaceous tissue that connects muscles to bones.
What are tendons?
This is the term used to describe 2 or more muscles that contract simultaneously in order to perform the same movement?
What is synergistic?
This protein is responsible for carrying oxygen around our bodies.
What is hemoglobin?
This is a term used to describe the flow of blood from the right side of the heart, through the lungs, and back through the left side of the heart.
What is the pulmonary circuit?
A person has Type A blood. This is their possible genotypes:
What is:
-AA
-AO
The cessation of the production of this hormone is attributed to the development of osteoporosis.
What is estrogen?
This type of muscle is involuntary and is responsible for causing our hearts to beat.
What is cardiac muscle?
This hormone is produced by the kidneys when they sense the circulating O2 in your body is to low, which in turn stimulates the production of red blood cells in long bones, such as the femur and humerus.
What is erythropoietin.
This is the structure that divides the left and right sides of the heart.
What is the septum?
Articulation with the ribs defines this set of vertebrae.
What are the thoracic vertebrae?
