The area at the base of the neck of an animal between its front legs that covers the cranial end of its sternum is called the

carpus

The knee of hoofed animals is called the

Transverse plane

The reference plane that divides the body of an animal into cranial and caudal parts that are not necessarily equal is the

medial or midsagittal plane

The reference plane that runs down the center of an animal’s body lengthwise and divides it into equal left and right halves is the

plantar

A dog is on the exam table with its front legs up on the chest of its owner. Which surface of the dog is touching the examination table?

proximal

Which end of a donkey’s tail attaches to the body?

protein-covered capsule that contains 1 strand of DNA or 1 strand of RNA

A virus is composed of a

lack DNA and RNA

Prions are unique in that they

the inside of the membrane

In the lipid bilayer that makes up the cell membrane, the hydrophobic fatty acids are

glycocalyx

The outside “sugar” coating of the cell membrane is called the

ligands

Chemical messengers that bind to specific binding sites on cell surfaces and bring about a change in the cell’s activity are called

on the surface of the cell

Cilia are located

move a cell through a fluid

The function of a flagellum is to

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)

Which organelle in a cell is involved in the synthesis and storage of lipids

Ribosome

Which organelle in the cell is an important site for protein synthesis

mitochondria

The powerhouses of a cell is the

nucleus

The control center of a cell is the

during respiration

In a healthy animal, insensible water loss is the water lost

Intracellular fluid

Which compartment of water makes up the majority of total body water

anions

Ions that have a negative charge are called

pumps sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell

In a normal cell the sodium-potassium pump

Patients should be positioned lying on the right side

Routine abdominal radiographs are always taken with the patient in right lateral recumbency. In laymen’s terms, how should patients be positioned for routine abdominal films?

The cat should be placed on its back

A cat needs an abdominal ultrasound. Dr. Smith prefers to perform abdominal ultrasound with patients in dorsal recumbency. How should you position the cat? (i.e., How will the cat be laying?)

DV

In radiography, it is desirable to have the body part to be examined closest to the cassette and film to minimize distortion and to produce the best image quality of that body part. With this goal in mind, if the heart lies nearest the sternum, which of the following radiographic views of the chest will produce the best image quality of the heart?

VD

You have placed a dog in dorsal recumbency for pelvic radiographs. The beam is centered over the caudal abdomen and the cassette lies beneath the dog's back in the Bucky tray. What is the abbreviation for the view of the pelvis?

root word

The word part that is considered the foundation of a word is the

combining vowel

A single-letter word part that is used to join other word parts is a

suffix

A word part that follows a root word, modifying its meaning, is a

phagocytosis

__ is a process by which cells consume large particles and organisms

exocytosis

The cellular process by which waste products are expelled from the cell is termed __

chromatin

lysosome

A cytoplasmic vesicle containing digestive enzymes for the cell is a __

Red blood cells clumped and stuck together

If you observed agglutination in the peripheral blood smear of a domestic animal, what did you actually see?

erythrocytes

__ are anuclear, biconcave, discoid blood cells with the primary function of transporting oxygen to the tissues of the body

leukocytes

Blood cells that are collectively responsible for fighting disease in the body are the __

hemostasis

__ is the process by which hemorrhage is stopped

erythrocytes

__ are cells that comprise the largest cellular portion of spun hematocrit, or packed cell volume
