The effectors of the ANS are [3] 4. A preganglionic neuron carries nerve impulses between [4] 5. Which pair of neurons are both unmyelinated? [5]

Free Response 2: PICK ONE of the following free response questions to answer for a maximum of 5 points: Option a – Describe the CONTRACTION CYCLE. Only portions of your answer relating to the contraction cycle will count for bonus points. Hopefully at this point you know what the contraction cycle refers to (Chapter 10). Option b – Describe growth in length of bone at the epiphyseal plate in terms of the separate histological zones and what they do (Chapter 6) Option c – Detail the steps of endochondral ossification (Chapter 6)

Pages 2: 6. Which section divides the body into equal right and left portions? [6] 7. Which body cavity contains the heart and lungs? [7] 8. When glucose concentration in the blood rises above a certain level, β cells in the pancreatic islets release insulin. Insulin acts on the cells of the liver causing them to convert glucose into glycogen. This lowers blood sugar (glucose). When glucose concentration in the blood falls below a certain level (the level, the pancreas stops secreting insulin. This is an example of [8] 9. Which tissue type forms coverings, linings and is the basis of glandular tissue? [9] 10. A tissue that lies on a basement membrane, has an apical surface, has multiple layer of cells that are very tall relative to their width would be [10]  

Page 10:  46. During muscle contraction, which of the following shortens? [46] 47. The neurotransmitter at the neuromuscular junction of a skeletal muscle is [47] 48. In which phase of the contraction myosin attach to actin? [48] 49. Which connective tissue surrounds a fascicle of muscle fibers? [49] 50. Extensions of the sarcolemma that carry action potentials to the triad are called [50]

Page 5: 21. Which is not a function associated with the skin? [21] 22. Thick skin is found [22] 23. The dermis is composed of [23] 24. Which of the following is not a sensory receptor of the skin? [24] 25. The layer of adipose and areolar connective tissue deep to the dermis is called the [25]

Pages 2: 6. Which section divides the body into superior and inferior portions? [6] 7. Which body cavity contains the liver and pancreas? [7] 8. After a gunshot wound, blood pressure drops as the blood volume decreases due to bleeding. The body responds by telling the heart to beat faster. This increase in blood flow increases the rate of bleeding, this decreases the blood volume further, leading to a further drop in blood pressure. The body responds by speeding the heart rate continuing the cycle This is an example of [8] 9. Which tissue type has the ability to generate a force? [9] 10. A tissue that lies on a basement membrane, has an apical surface, has a single layer of cells that are much wider than they are tall would be [10]
