Anything Neuro
This type of cell is responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system.
Neuron
This chemical messenger is released by endocrine glands and travels through the bloodstream to target cells.
Hormone
This organ is responsible for filtering blood and producing urine and what is the cell of this organ called
Kidney and nephron
These microscopic organisms are living cells that can reproduce on their own and can be detected by gram stian
Bacteria
This is the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms.
Cell
This neurotransmitter is most commonly associated with skeletal muscle contraction at the neuromuscular junction.
ACH
This hormone lowers blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells.
Insulin
What are the steps of urine production
filtration, reabsorption, and secretion.
Unlike bacteria, these infectious agents require a host cell in order to reproduce.
Virus
This organelle contains DNA and serves as the control center of the cell.
Nucleus
During an action potential, this ion rushes into the neuron, causing depolarization of the membrane.
Na+
This gland is often called the “master gland” because it controls many other endocrine glands.
Pituitary
This process occurs in the glomerulus and forces water and small solutes out of the blood and into the nephron.
Filteration
This type of bacterium stains purple during a Gram stain due to a thick peptidoglycan cell wall.
Gram Positive
This type of RNA carries genetic instructions from the nucleus to the ribosomes for protein synthesis.
Response: What is messenger RNA (mRNA)?
This structure insulates axons, increasing the speed of nerve impulse conduction, and is damaged in multiple sclerosis.
Myelin Sheath
The release of thyroid hormones is regulated by this type of feedback loop involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and thyroid gland.
Negative Feedback Loop
This hormone increases water reabsorption in the kidneys by making the collecting ducts more permeable to water.
ADH
This type of infectious agent is made only of misfolded protein and causes neurodegenerative diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Prion
During this phase of mitosis, chromosomes line up along the center of the cell.
Metaphase
A patient presents with muscle weakness and paralysis due to antibodies blocking acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction. This condition is known as:
Myasthenia Gravis
A patient presents with weight loss, heat intolerance, rapid heart rate, and bulging eyes. These symptoms are most consistent with this endocrine disorder.
Graves (hyperthyroid)
This inherited kidney disorder is characterized by the formation of multiple fluid-filled cysts that enlarge the kidneys and can eventually lead to renal failure.
PKD
A biopsy reveals a tumor that has spread from its original site into nearby lymph nodes. This pattern of spread indicates that the tumor is classified as what type? Give an example
Malignant--breast cancer into the lymph nodes
A chemotherapy drug stops cells from completing mitosis by preventing spindle fiber formation. As a result, cells are unable to properly separate chromosomes during this phase.
Anaphase
