Subjects : mcat, science
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.
1. Consists of a group of cells performing a similar function






2. Mucosa of oral cavity - esophagus - anal canal - vagina; cornea of eye and part of conjunctiva






3. Responds to internal and external stimuli; regulates and coordinates body activities and movements






4. At cell surface; Microvilli - cilia - flagella - stereocilia






5. Each has a definite function which results from the combined functions of the various tissue components.






6. Can be fixed or free; fixed are numerous in loose connective tissue; polymorphic shape with oval nucleus; have the ability to engulf extracellular material (foreign matter or necrotic cells)






7. Located between the cells and fibers - both of which are embedded in it; forms amorphous intercellar material; in fresh state - appears as a transparent and homogenous gel






8. In the direction of the midline of a structure






9. The distal end; the less fixed and more movable end of a muscle attachment






10. Simple - stratified






11. Nearest a point of origin in general or nearest the trunk as far as the extremities are concerned; nearer the attachment to the body; nearer the midline axis






12. Away from the surface; within or toward the inside or interior






13. Lubrication of body cavities to permit free movement of organs; pinocytotic transport across cells






14. Primarily attached and nonmotile (fixed cells) but some have the ability to move (wandering or free cells); typical cells found in connective tissue are fibroblasts - mesenchymal - macrophage (hisitocytes) - adipocytes - mast - plasma - reticular - p






15. Regulates body growth and function via hormones






16. Located in the adventitia of blood vessels; multi - potential cells which may differentiate into various connective tissues or smooth muscle cells






17. Has compactly aggregated cells; has limited intercellular spaces and substance; is avascular (no blood vessels); lies on a connective tissue layer (the basal lamina); has cells that form sheets and are polarized; is derived from all three germ layers






18. Secretion; absorption; lines surface






19. Prevents loss of water; protection






20. Fingerlike projections of plasma membranes; mainly located at luminal surfaces of absorptive cells (brush border of proximal convoluted tubules and striated border of intestinal epithelium)






21. They are extremely elastic and are located in structures with a degree of elasticity such as the walls of blood vessels (elastic arteries) - true vocal cords - and trachea






22. Supports body - protects organs - produces blood cells






23. Similar in structure and function as those in blood; agranular leukocytes migrate in large numbers under normal conditions






24. A groove






25. Nearer the surface; without or nearer the outside of the body






26. A prominent - distinct area (the iliac crest)






27. A cavity in a bone (maxillary sinus); a venous blood channel in the cranium (cavernous sinus); or a cavity in a viscus - such as the pharynx (piriform sinus)






28. Urinary tract (renal calyces and pelvis - ureter - and urinary bladder)






29. Kidney tubules; choroid plexus (lining of ventricles and spinal canal; produces CSF); thyroid gland; rete testis; surface of ovary






30. A hook - shaped process or eminence






31. Attached surface






32. Protection






33. A pointed process






34. In the direction of the feet; away from the head






35. A canal






36. Toward the center of the body; toward the inside






37. A flat - smooth area (the articulating facet in vertebrae)






38. A hole in a bone; in the cranium - the spinal cord passes through the foramen magnum






39. Farther from the point or origin of a structure or farther from the reference point or the midline axis






40. Dilates blood vessels and increases the permeability of capillaries - thus increasing interstitial fluid.






41. Secretion; absorption; protection; lubrication






42. Protection






43. Add support and strength; three types include collagen (white) - elastic (yellow) - and reticular fibers






44. Collagen (white) - elastic (yellow) - reticular






45. In the direction away from the midline of a structure






46. Person standing erect - feet together and parallel - face forward - arms at sides with palms facing forward (supinated)






47. In the direction of the head; nearer the head






48. Lymphocytes - monocytes - eosinophils - basophils - neutrophils






49. Farther from the midline; toward the side of the body or away from the midsagittal plane; to the side






50. A slit or gap
