Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis

Question 4

A scientist is studying the microscopic structure of liver tissue. Which subdivision of anatomy is she using?

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Which organ system is primarily responsible for eliminating nitrogenous wastes and regulating water and ion balance?

Accepted Answer

Urinary system

Question 6

A patient is unable to maintain a stable internal body temperature. Which type of homeostatic feedback mechanism is most likely impaired?

Accepted Answer

Negative feedback

Question 7

Which of the following best describes the anatomical position?

Accepted Answer

Standing erect, facing forward, arms at sides, palms facing forward, thumbs pointing away from the body

Question 8

A transverse (horizontal) plane divides the body into which of the following sections?

Accepted Answer

Superior and inferior

Question 9

Which of the following is a function of the serous membranes lining the ventral body cavity?

Accepted Answer

They secrete a lubricating fluid that reduces friction between organs.
