Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.

18. Thick muscular folds that protect the true vocal chords






19. Neuron processes that receive impulses passed on from other neurons






20. Also known as ribonucleic acid - a complex molecule found in cells and viruses. Used by DNA to transport the instructions on how to develop the cell






21. Phase of mitosis in which the duplicated chromosomes line up along the center of the cell and each centromere attaches to two spindle fibers






22. The fluid filled gap that axons are connected to in the neuron






23. Gland that secretes the hormone melatonin - which is important for the sleep cycle - metabolism - and sexual development
