Organization/Characteristics of Life
This is the smallest unit of an organism that carries out the basic function of life.
What is Cell?
This is known as the body's ability to maintain itself in a steady state.
What is Homeostasis?
This directional term describes the position of the antebrachium compared to the brachium.
What is Distal?
These subatomic particles account for the mass of an atom.
What is Protons and Neutrons?
This is the complementary base pair for cytosine.
What is Guanine?
This organ system removes waste products from the blood and regulates pH and water balance.
What is Urinary?
This component of a feedback loop senses changes in the body.
What is Receptor?
This anatomical region refers to the area around the point of the elbow.
What is Olecranal Region?
This is the term for a positively charged atom.
What is Cation?
This is the monomer for nucleic acids.
What is Nucleotides?
This characteristic of life involves the passing down of genetic information by the formation of new cells or new organisms.
What is reproduction?
T/F: Positive feedback mechanisms are more commonly used in the body than negative feedback mechanisms.
What is False?
The appendix is found in this abdominopelvic quadrant.
What is Right Lower Quadrant?
This type of bonding is quite weak by itself, but collectively with other molecules is quite strong.
What is Hydrogen Bond?
Lipids mainly are formed by this type of bond.
What is Nonpolar Covalent Bond?
This is the sum of all chemical reactions that occur within the body.
What is Metabolism?
This type of feedback mechanism is responsible for temperature regulation, blood glucose regulation, and thyroid hormone regulation.
What is Negative Feedback Mechanism?
This structure separates the ventral cavity into superior and inferior cavities.
What is Diaphragm?
This group of atoms on the periodic table are chemically stable and are considered not reactive.
What is Noble Gases?
This is the term used to describe the position of the chin in comparison to the mouth with a patient that is standing on his/her head.
What is Inferior?
T/F: Respiration is one of the essential characteristics of life similar to all living organisms.
What is False?
This type of feedback mechanism aims to keep a variable around a set point.
What is Negative Feedback Mechanism?
This serous membrane directly covers the external surface of the heart.
What is Visceral Pericardium?
