7) Compare and contrast the antecubital region to the olecranal region. FFTTFTTTFFTFFT
Answer:
The antecubital region is the anterior surface of the elbow while
the olecranal region is the posterior surface of the elbow. While
both of these regions refer to the elbow, the antecubital region is
anterior surface and the olecranal region is posterior surface.
8) Explain how scratching an itch is an example of the negative feedback
mechanism.
Answer:
1. Stimulus or input is the itch.
2. A receptor carries the information about the stimulus (itch) to
the brain via an afferent pathway.
3. Control center (brain) analyzes this information an turns on an
effector which will cancel the stimulus.
4. Information reaches the effector via the efferent pathway from
the brain. Muscles move the hand to scratch the itch.
5. Scratching continues until the itch goes away. The brain shuts
off the effector once homeostasis is restored.
9) Explain the terms distal and proximal using an example.
Answer:
The term distal means farther from the origin of a body part or
point or the attachment of a limb to the trunk. The ankle is distal to
the knee means the ankle is further from the leg's attachment to the
trunk than the knee. The term proximal means closer to the origin
of a body part of the point of attachment of a limb to the trunk. The
knee is proximal to the ankle means the knee is closer to the leg's
attachment to the trunk than the ankle.
10) Describe anatomical position. Explain why anatomical position is used.
Answer:
Anatomical position is defined as standing erect, feet parallel to
the arms, palms facing forward. Anatomical position is used
because it is a standard position; it also helps us to avoid
confusion. Additionally, anatomical position is a reference point
that helps us accurately describe body parts and position.

Cellular respiration includes all of the oxygen-dependent processes by breakdown
which energy from the breakdown of glucose is captured within chemical L. Propulsion • Peristalsis moves food from one organ to the next

within the mitochondria, produces all the carbon dioxide and water that as feces
results during cellular respiration, and it yields a small amount of ATP as P. Digestion • Enzymatic reactions that hydrolyze food particles into
well. The electron transport chain, also located within the mitochondria, is their building blocks
the primary producer of ATP. Hydrogen atoms removed during glycolysis
and the Krebs cycle are delivered to the protein carriers of the electron
transport chain, which form part of the mitochondrial cristae membranes.
There the hydrogen atoms are split into their positive ions and negative
electrons. The electrons then travel from carrier to carrier in a series of steps
that enable phosphate to attach to ADP to form ATP.

Gluconeogenesis is a reaction in which the liver uses non-carbohydrates DDCADEBEDCABCAACCBDBDADCCDBBABBECECDCBCEBDECCDADDA

Substances that are typically reabsorbed include amino acids, pressure within the afferent arteriole or changes in solute content

Urine is a pale, straw-colored liquid that progressively becomes a The bicarbonate buffer system utilizes carbonic acid and its salt,

gland hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH) suddenly spikes in
production and leads to ovulation. During the time while the follicle is
growing and developing, prior to ovulation, estrogen levels continue to rise.
5) Describe the events of embryonic development from conception until the
fetal stage, including development of the primary germ layers.
Answer:
A fertilized egg (zygote) undergoes rapid mitotic cell division in a
stage called cleavage. Cleavage provides the building blocks for
constructing the embryo, which develops until it has about 100
cells and then hollows out to form a blastocyst. The blastocyst has
two areas: the trophoblast and the inner cell mass. The inner cell
mass forms three primary germ layers which are the ectoderm, the
endoderm, and the mesoderm. The ectoderm gives rise to the
nervous system, the epidermis, and the skin. The endoderm forms
the mucosae and associated glands. The mesoderm gives rise to
everything else. The trophoblast develops projections called
chorionic villi which form the placenta along with tissues from the
mother's uterus. By the eighth week, all the organ systems have
been laid down and the embryo looks distinctly human. Beginning
in the ninth week, the embryo is referred to as a fetus.
6) List and describe the three stages of labor.
Answer:
Stage 1 is the dilation stage, which extends from the appearance of
true contractions until full dilation of the cervix (dilation to about
10 cm in diameter). Usually the amnion ruptures during this stage,
which is the longest part of labor and lasts for 6 to 12 hours. Stage
2 is the expulsion stage. It extends from full dilation to delivery of
the infant. In this stage, the infant passes through the cervix and
vagina to the outside of the body. This stage takes 20 minutes to 2
hours. Stage 3 is the placental stage, which usually lasts about 15
minutes, culminating in delivery of the placenta.
