ACE THE ATI TEAS 7 SCIENCE SECTION—WITH COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATIONS! 🔬 This is your comprehensive science test bank with 53 realistic questions and detailed answer explanations that teach you WHY each answer is correct. WHAT'S INSIDE: CELL BIOLOGY & DIVISION: Mitosis replaces worn-out/damaged cells! Meiosis creates sex cells! Connective tissue = matrix that supports and connects other tissues! Hierarchy: Mitochondria → Neurons → Nerve tissues → Brain! ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY: Anterior vs Posterior: Vertebral column is posterior (back)! Mandible, sternum, clavicle are anterior (front)! Respiratory System: During expiration, diaphragm relaxes and moves UP, intercostal muscles relax and move ribs DOWN! Gas Exchange (Fick's Law): Enhanced by increased surface area; impeded by increased membrane thickness! Heart Blood Flow: Right atrium → Right ventricle → Left atrium → Left ventricle! Hemoglobin: Decrease = decreased oxygen-carrying capacity! Arteries vs Veins: Veins HAVE valves; arteries have thick muscular walls! Vestigial Organ: Appendix (extension off large intestine)! Gastric Reflux: Caused by improper closing of lower esophageal sphincter! Small Intestine Villi: Damage = malnutrition (decreased nutrient absorption)! Cerebellum: Responsible for posture, balance, and movement coordination! Sarcomere: Basic contractile unit of skeletal muscle! Corpus Luteum: Produces progesterone in preparation for pregnancy! Seminiferous Tubules: Produce sperm! Pancreas: Endocrine AND exocrine gland (insulin/glucagon + digestive enzymes)! Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Produced by anterior pituitary (NOT ovary)! Pineal Gland: Produces melatonin (sleep-wake rhythm)! Albumin: NOT normally found in urine (indicates kidney problem)! Kidney Blood Flow: Abdominal aorta → renal arteries → segmental → interlobar → arcuate → interlobular → afferent → glomerulus → efferent → peritubular capillaries → veins → IVC! Renal Corpuscle: Glomerulus + Bowman's capsule (Vasa recta is NOT part of it)! Lymph Nodes: Filter fluid from intercellular spaces and remove foreign substances! Macrophages: Engulf bacteria and cellular debris! Arrector Pili: Causes "goose bumps" (NOT odor production)! Vitamin D: Synthesized in skin from cholesterol-based precursor upon UV exposure! Rheumatoid Arthritis: Autoimmune destruction of articular cartilage! Epiphyseal Plate: Made of cartilage (responsible for bone lengthening)! Medullary Cavity: Yellow marrow-containing space in adult bone diaphysis! Demyelination: Disrupts propagation of action potential along axon! Uterus: Implantation site AND pathway for sperm to reach uterine tubes! Elevated White Blood Cells: Expected in person with infection! Sympathetic Nervous System: Fight-or-flight (increased BP, dilated pupils, sweating) — NOT salivation! Epiglottis: Prevents food from entering respiratory system! GENETICS: ff x ff = only offspring with red feathers (recessive trait)! CHEMISTRY: Atomic Mass: Sum of protons + neutrons (electrons not included)! Atomic Number: Number of protons! Orbital: Space where electron is likely to be found! Hydrolysis: Breaks polysaccharides into disaccharides! Ionic Bonds: NaBr (metal + nonmetal)! Hydrogen Bonds: Form between partial positive and partial negative regions on different molecules! Liquids: Constant volume but NOT constant shape! SCIENTIFIC METHOD: Empirical Data: Based on observations and measurements (NOT "hearing that it snowed")! Correlation: Self-esteem and depression relationship! Reproducibility: Why experiments are repeated three times! Electron Microscope: Used for 20-nm polymer films! Approximate mass of car: 1,800 kg! PLUS: Codons (3 bases), kidney vasculature (renal hilum), osmosis (through aquaporins, NOT phospholipid heads), bar graph interpretation, and MORE! 53 questions. Step-by-step explanations.
