Which type of RNA carries amino acids to the ribosome during translation?
Answer: Transfer RNA (tRNA)
tRNA molecules recognize codons via their anticodons and deliver the corresponding amino acids.
Which type of cartilage forms the articular surfaces of the temporomandibular joint's growth?
Answer: Fibrocartilage
The TMJ articular surfaces are lined by fibrocartilage, which resists compressive and shear forces.
Insulin promotes glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissue mainly by recruiting which transporter?
Answer: GLUT4
Insulin stimulates translocation of GLUT4 to the cell membrane, increasing glucose entry.
A lesion of the facial nerve (CN VII) would most likely impair which function?
Answer: Facial expression and taste to anterior tongue
CN VII controls muscles of facial expression and carries taste from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
Which phase of the cardiac cycle corresponds to ventricular contraction and blood ejection?
Answer: Systole
Ventricular systole is the contraction phase during which blood is ejected into the arteries.
Which immunoglobulin is the most abundant in the secondary immune response and crosses the placenta?
Answer: IgG
IgG is the predominant antibody in secondary responses and is the only isotype that crosses the placenta.
Which bone develops through intramembranous ossification rather than endochondral ossification?
Answer: Flat bones of the skull
The flat bones of the skull form directly from mesenchymal connective tissue via intramembranous ossification.
