What is the percent of Animals that are invertebrates. |
95% |
|
What is the percent of Animals that are vertebrates. |
5% |
|
Define a groups of cells with similar functions that are found together in an organism. |
Tissue |
|
Extracellular Matrix
|
Protein fibers, minerals, proteoglycans, fluid
|
|
ECM of Blood |
Plasma, fluid
|
|
ECM of Bone |
Calcium phosphate salts, solid |
|
ECM of Cartilage |
Flexible ECM |
|
ECM of Regular Connective Tissue |
Fibrous ECM
|
|
Basement Tissue |
ECM in Epithelial tissue |
|
Connective Tissue |
Stores energy, connects epithelium to the rest of the body, transports materials and gasses through out the body, helps provide structure mesoderm. |
|
Which two tissues don't have functional ECM? |
Muscle and Nervous |
|
Epithelial Tissue |
Sheet of tightly joined cells that may exist in one or more layers, stratified.
|
|
Muscle Tissue |
Long cells, contracts. Contains actin any myosine. Examples: Skeletal, Cardiac, Smooth. |
|
Nervous Tissue
|
Transmits electro-chemical impulses; basis of the major controlling system of the body forms the brain and spinal cord. |
|
Two types of Extracellular fluid |
Plasma and Interstitial |
|
For homeostasis to work...
|
Conditions must be accurately detected, control must be possible, and change in cellular function must occur (metabolism) |
|
Organ System |
A group of organs that work together to provide specific function for the organism. |
|
Two major types of effectors |
Muscles and Glands |
|
Negative feedback |
Describes the effect in which the final product of a biochemical pathway inhibits the first step; the process in which a stimulus acts on a sensor that communicates with an effector producing a response that opposes the initial stimulus. Negative feedback is used to maintain steady conditions, or homeostasis. |
|
Positive feedback
|
Initial stimulus produces a response that enhances the original change (blood clotting and child birth) |
|
Pulmonary Circuit |
Pumps blood from the heart > lungs > back to heart |
|
Is a fever positive or negative feedback? |
Positive |
|
Blood flow through heart |
1. Right Atrium 2. Right Ventricle 3. Lungs 4. Pulmonary Veins 5. Left Atrium 6. Left Ventricle 7. Body |
|
Systemic Circuit
|
Oxygenated blood from lungs-body tissues Left side of the heart |
|
"Lubb" - First heart sound |
Results from atrioventricular valves (AV) closing at the beginning of Ventricular Systole; contraction. |
|
"Dupp" - Second heart sound
|
Results from closure of aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves at the beginning of Ventricular Diastole; relaxed. |
|
Heart Murmur
|
An abnormal sound from the heart produced by defects in the chambers or valves.
|
|
Contraction Cycle
|
Systole (Contractions) > Diastole (Relaxation)
|
|
Cardiac Conduction System |
Specialized cardiac muscle tissue which conducts impulses. |
|
Pacemaker of the Heart |
SA Node Gives the heart electrical signal to contact. SA gives signal to AV node. AV node signals R and L bundle branches which gives the muscle the signal to contract. |
|
Wall structure of vessels |
Arteries, Arterioles, Venules and Veins Wall structure is similar: epithelium (lining), smooth muscle and connective tissue outer covering. Thick walls = No exchange Capillaries: Thin walls = epithelium (lining) only = exchange |
|
Diffusion though epithelial cells |
Molecules diffuse through the capillary wall |
|
Blood makeup |
55% - Plasma 45% - Packed cells |
|
Pressure driven flow |
Of fluid through pores in the capillary wall |
|
What is the function of white blood cells? |
White blood cells defend the body against disease. White blood cells, called leukocytes, are larger than red blood cells. |
|
Red blood cells function |
Carries O2/CO2 from lungs to cells and vice versa. |
|
Air Passageway |
Nose, Pharynx, Larynx (voice box), Trachea (wind pipe), Bronchi, Bronchiole, Alveoli |
|
Lymphatic System
|
Lymphatic Vessels Lymph Nodes |
|
During inhalation, diaphragm is... |
Contracted |
|
What is the functional unit of the respiratory system?
|
Alveoli |
|
What happens during exhalation? |
- Thoracic cavity decreases - Alveolar pressure to Atmospheric pressure - Air moves out |
|
During inhalation, volume of the thoracic cavity ____ and pressure ____. |
volume increases and pressure decreases air is pulled into the lungs |
|
Which direction does oxygen move at gas exchange sites within the lugs. |
From alveolar space into the blood |
|
By what process does gas exchange occur within the body? |
Diffusion |
|
____ has the lowest levels of oxygen. |
Pulmonary artery |
|
Which way does carbon dioxide move at gas exchange sites within the lung? |
Out the blood into the air space of the alveoli ("delivery") |
|
Oxygen transport |
1.5% dissolved in plasma and 98% binds to hemoglobin |
|
Which has the highest levels of carbon dioxide? |
Pulmonary vein |

|
|
Hemoglobin under high temperatures |
Oxygen released |
|
Long chains of amino acids |
