Study Notes

Exam 1 Retake - A&P 101

  • Question 1: Centrioles are rod-shaped structures made of fine tubes, critical for cell division, not ribosomes, mitochondria, or Golgi apparatus.

  • Question 2: Cilia are small, hair-like structures on the exposed surface of some cells, not nucleus, nucleolus, or endoplasmic reticulum.

  • Question 6: Distal is the opposite of proximal, not medial, superior, or anterior.

  • Question 7: Knee is distal to the ankle, not inferior, medial, or proximal.

  • Question 8: Water diffusing through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis, not dialysis, filtration, or pinocytosis.

  • Question 12: Endoplasmic reticulum is a network of canals, not flagella, Golgi apparatus, or lysosomes.

  • Question 13: Nucleus controls most cellular activities, not the cilia, nucleolus, or ribosome.

  • Question 14: Thoracic cavity is divided into 2 parts: the mediastinum and the pleural cavity, not the dorsal cavity. (False)
