Cell Transport & Homeostasis
This organelle contains digestive enzymes and is responsible for breaking down harmful substances in the cell.
Lysosomes
The anatomical term describing the upper arm's position relative to the forearm (closer to the point of attachment).
proximal
The tissue type that is the most abundant and widely distributed in the body, primarily responsible for insulation and protection.
Connective Tissue
The specific type of bone cell responsible for building and constructing new bone tissue.
Osteoblasts
These cords of dense connective tissue connect muscles to bones.
Due to its role in ATP production, this organelle would be found in great abundance in hard-working cells like skeletal muscle cells.
Mitochondria
The anatomical term describing the abdominal region's position relative to the spine.
Anterior
The specific building blocks (monomers) that link together to form proteins.
Amino acids
The dense connective tissue that connects two bones together.
ligaments
This muscle is the prime mover for forearm extension.
triceps brachii
This bulk transport process is how a white blood cell engulfs and captures bacteria.
Endocytosis - specifically phagocytosis
The coxal region refers to _____________.
Hips
The specialized type of connective tissue that is primarily used for fat storage.
Adipose
The longest bone in the upper limb, which forms part of the shoulder and elbow joints.
Humerus
This muscle group is the antagonist of the quadriceps, located on the posterior thigh.
hamstrings
This feedback mechanism is triggered when shivering is used to raise core body temperature, thereby counteracting the initial cold stimulus.
Negative Feedback
This body plane divides the body into superior and inferior parts.
Transverse
This type of tissue is key for communication and control and allows us to respond to stimuli in the external environment.
Nervous tissue
The name of the ankle bones.
tarsals
This is the primary muscle (prime mover) for the act of inhalation (breathing).
diaphragm
This less common feedback loop amplifies or increases the initial stimulus, such as the release of oxytocin during labor.
Positive Feedback
Use an anatomical term to describe the position of the bridge of the nose relative to the left eye.
Medial
What is the fourth main class of macromolecule in organisms, alongside carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids?
Protein
The five regions of the vertebral column in correct order, starting from the neck
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, Coccyx
The class of lever system represented by a bicep curl, where the effort (muscle insertion) is between the fulcrum (elbow) and the load (weight).
Third class lever
