PLTW Biomed Final Exam
1. a microscopic examination of the tissues that make up the brain. Can seewith your
eyes and can be handled by hand.
ANS gross exam
2. what professional would perform a gross exam of organs?
ANS medical examin-ers
3. studies microscopic anatomy of tissues. needs to use a microscope to seeindividual
cells.
ANS histological exam
4. what professional would perform a histological exam of tissues?
ANS forensichistologist, histologist
5. contains the brain, brain stem, spinal cord, and nerves. it is responsible forreceiving,
interpreting, and reacting to signals from inside and outside the body. uses chemical and
electrical signals that transmit through the body, and responds to changes that it detects.
nerve signals control most bodily functions, including sensation, movement, and
digestive processes.

ANS nervoussystem
6. all the nerves in the body are part of the peripheral nervous system. the PNS brings
information from the outside world and from within the body tothe CNS.
ANS PNS
7. the brain and spinal cord are part of the central nervous system. the CNS re-ceives data
from the PNS (outside world). the brain processes the information,makes decisions about
what to do, and sends signals back via the peripheral nervous system to bring about a
specific change.
ANS CNS
8. responsible for planning and organizing incoming information. also con-trols
behavior and emotion.
ANS frontal lobe
9. crucial in integrating sensory and visual information.
ANS parietal lobe
10. used for processing language and storing information in the long-termmemory.
ANS temporal lobe
11. receives and processes sensory nerve impulses from the eyes.
ANS occipitallobe

12. 2 methods used in performing a gross exam of a brain during an autopsy-
ANS 1)MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging)
2)Slices, Cross sections
13. a brain dysfunction caused by an outside force to the head
ANS TBI(TraumaticBrain Injury)
14. a progressive degeneration, and/or death, of nerve cells caused by repeat-ed head
injuries, such as repeated concussions
ANS CTE
15. basic unit for any organism such as a neuron that transmits informationto other
cells
ANS cells
16. composed of cells, and if relating this to nervous tissue it has both neuronsand cells,
which senses stimuli and transmits signals

17. composed of tissue, for example, the brain is composed of nervous tissue,which allows
the brain to interpret stimuli
ANS organs
18. composed of multiple organs, for example, the nervous system is com-posed of all
the organs in the nervous system, which is responsible for allactivities in the nervous
system
ANS organ system
19. composed of epithelial cells aligned in sheets and connected to one another. this
tissue can be found lining the outer surfaces of all organs and blood vessels, in the mouth,
and on the surfaces of humans. this tissue worksto absorb, secrete, protect, and sense for
us.
ANS epithelial tissue
20. supports and connects other tissue types in the body. different types of connective
tissue work to hold organs in place, attach muscle to bones, linkbones with joints, or
enable other tissues (like lungs) to stretch. it is found attached to and in between other
tissues types in the body.
ANS connective tissue
