Why do cells in different parts of the animals body differ morphologically ?
|
Because they have different functions
|
|
The epithelial tissues can be classified according to
|
layers and shape
|
|
epithelium appears to be layered but it actually isn't. The columnar cells that make up this epithelium vary in height and therefore, providing it with the appearance of multiple layers
|
pseudostraitified columnar
|
|
Simple squamous epithelium can be found in
|
lungs
|
|
All of the tissues below are examples of connective tissue but for
1 blood 2 cartilage 3 cardiac muscle 4 bone |
cardiac muscle
|
|
The main function of the nervous tissue is to conduct ..
|
electrical impulses
|
|
Root word "strata" means 1.-----. Root word "Glia" means 2.-----.
|
layers
glue |
|
The two main structural characteristics of the cardiac muscle are ...
|
striations
intercalated discs |
|
Two excitable cells in the animal's body are ..
|
neurons
muscle cells |
|
The tarsal joint is also known as the
|
hock joint
|
|
__________is an example of a flat bone.
|
mandible
|
|
Explain the structure of a long bone.
|
Epiphysis: Ends of the bone Diaphysis: The shaft of the bone which surrounds the medullary cavity. Articular Cartilage: Cushions the ends of the bones and allows for smooth movement. Epiphyseal Plate: Areas made of cartilage allowing for the growth of the bone; lengthen
They are long in shape, and act as levers while aiding in support, locomotion, prehension. They are known as bones of the extremeties such as the bones in the forelimbs or the hindlimbs. The formation of the long bone begins at the primary ossification center in the midshaft region. The secondary ossification centers then develop near the ends of the long bones. Cartilaginous region called physis separates the centers. There is a compact bone layer around the outside of the bone, around the spongy bone. |
|
What type of cells are found in the growth plate or epiphyseal plate?
|
chondroblasts (bc cartilage!!)
|
|
T/F The axial and the appendicular skeletal systems articulate at the shoulder joint and the hip joint.
|
False
|
|
What are the alternate names for coxofemoral and scapulohumeral joints, respectively
|
hip joint
shoulder joint |
|
What are the two major divisions of the nervous system?
|
central and peripheral nervous system
|
|
.----- are the connective tissues that cover and protect the nervous system specially brain and spinal cord.
|
meninges
|
|
The gray matter is on the outside and the white matter is on the inside in spinal cord.
|
False
|
|
Cerebrospinal fluid is found in the 1.----- of the nervous system.
|
ventricular system
|
|
List the various parts of brain stem.
|
diencephalon
midbrain pons medulla oblongata |
|
Define gray matter.
|
areas of the spinal cord and the brain that contain cell bodies, unmyelinated axons, and dendrites. Gray matter is found on the inside of the spinal cord, and in the cerebral cortex (outer layer)
It is neuronal cell body aggregates of the nervous system |
|
Which master endocrine gland is associated with hypothalamus?
|
pituitary gland
|
|
.----- are the fissures or depressions on the surface of the cerebrum
|
sulci
|
|
What is the sub-arachnoid space? What is its importance
|
It is in the central nervous system it is the space between the arachnoid membrane and the pia mater. It is filled with many tissues and channels, such as trabeculae and intercommunicates with channels housing spinal fluid. The importance is that this is the sight of many spinal taps, gathering fluid for testing, epidurals etc. It is used highly for medical purposes.
It is the space between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater. Spinal taps are performed in this space |
|
Passive transport in which a solute binds to a specific transporter on one side of the membrane and is released on the other side
The random mixing of particles in a solution due to the kinetic energy of the particles Uses energy derived from hydrolysis of ATP to change the shape of a transporter protein, which "pumps" a substance across a cellular membrane against its concentration gradient Passive transport mechanism where movement of water from an area of higher to an area of lower water concentration through a selectively permeable membrane |
facilitated diffusion
diffusion active transport osmosis |
|
A solution which maintains a Red blood cell in its normal shape and volume is called a (an)
|
isotonic solution
|
|
Explain how you would create a hypertonic and a hypotonic solution.
|
For a hypertonic solution, you could simply add more salt to create a solution that has higher osmotic pressure and to make it more concentrated. For a hypotonic solution, you would add more water to the solution to make it more diluted and so that it would have a lower osmotic pressure and be less concentrated
Hypertonic- Addition of salt to an isotonic solution ex. saline (0.9% NaCl) Hypotonic- Addition of water to an isotonic solution ex. saline (0.9% NaCl) |
|
Certain substances like gas and alcohol move across cell membrane via passive transport mechanism known as osmosis
|
false
|
|
Which substance is retained within the dialysis tubing and why
|
In the dialysis tubing, the starch is retained inside the bag, because the tubing is permeable to glucose, but not starch. This means that the glucose can move through the dialysis bag tubing, but the starch cannot
It is starch that is retained within the dialysis tubing as its a bigger molecule that cannot pass through the pores |
|
The tunics found in the eye are 1.-----, 2.-----, and 3.-----.
|
fibrous
nervous vascular |
|
T/F Dogs can see better at night than cats as they have larger corneas than cats
|
