Practical 1 - Retake

occipital

The blank region forms the posterior aspect of the cranium and houses the cerebral lobes responsible for primary visual processing.

superior

The structural boundary that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity also serves as the inferior floor for the former and the blank roof of the latter.

proximal

The elbow joint is located blank to the wrist joint along the axis of the upper extremity.

medial

The pleural cavities house the lungs laterally, while the mediastinum occupies the strictly blank space within the thoracic cavity.

parasagittal

To obtain a tissue section that captures the entire length of only one of the kidneys while completely bypassing the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava (running along the midline), a pathologist must slice the specimen along a blank plane.

anterior

Starting from the anatomical position, the patellar region is in the blank direction at the knee joint.

superficial

While a severe penetrating trauma can cause deep lacerations to internal visceral organs, a minor paper cut is limited strictly to a blank tissue plane.

frontal

The orbital cavities sit just inferiorly to the blank region.

ipsilateral

A patient experiences a localized neurological injury that causes a loss of motor control in both the right arm and the right leg. Because both affected limbs are on the same side of the body, these symptoms are described as being blank to one another.

popliteal

When a person bends their knees to sit down in a chair, the regional area experiencing the greatest compression on the posterior side of the joint is the blank region.

transversal

To obtain a CT scan image that displays both the right and left kidneys simultaneously in a cross- sectional view, dividing the patient’s body into superior and inferior portions, the scanner must take images along the blank plane.

antecubital

When a phlebotomist draws a standard blood sample from the large veins located on the anterior surface of the elbow joint, they are inserting the needle into the blank.

axillary

When a clinical practitioner places a thermometer deep into a patient’s armpit to measure a core body temperature, they are taking an axillary temperature within the blank region.

cranial cavity

The delicate protective membranes known as the meninges line the internal walls of the dorsal body cavity sub-division known as the blank.

lumbar

The region of the posterior trunk situated immediately inferior to the rib cage and superior to the iliac crests of the pelvis is the blank region.

abdominal cavity

While organs like the urinary bladder sit inferiorly within the pelvic space, the stomach, liver, and intestines are enveloped by the peritoneum inside the blank.

mental

The blank region of the skull is located on the mandible in close proximity to the oral region and medial to the auricular area.

pericardial cavity

The narrow, fluid filled space located directly between the visceral epicardium and the parietal layer of the serous pericardium is the blank.

orbital

The blank region of the cranium allows for the optical nerves to pass through and connect eyes to the brain.

oral

The blank region of the cranium allows for air intake and houses a muscle involved in sensory and gastrointestinal functions.

cholesterol

This classification of lipid is vital for several important cellular processes and pathways, but note it can stabilize phospholipid inner and outer membrane leaflets.

peroxisome

This cellular structure’s primary physiological function is to handle metabolic waste, notably H₂O₂, that’s broken down by enzymes such as peroxidase.

hypertonic

A cell is said to be in a blank solution when its structural morphology is forced to collapse and appear thin and stretched out.

nuclear pore

This important structure allows for mRNA to exit the nucleus.

integral proteins

This is one of the three classes of proteins that associate with membranes alongside peripheral proteins and membrane channels.

centrosome

This barrel shaped structure is vital for cell division through mitosis as well as serving as the foundational structure of the cell to make the primary cilium.

active transport

This type of cell transport relies on energy to move giant packets of chemicals around the cell, sometimes being removed through exocytosis or being brought into the cell through endocytosis.

mitosis

What is the process in which a mother cell becomes two identical daughter cells?

glycocalyx

What is the outer coating on the plasma membrane that protects the cell from the external environment?

facilitated diffusion

This type of passive diffusion typically requires an additional cellular component to occur in the cell as opposed to osmosis and simple diffusion.
