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

Without good blood flow, interstitial tissues would have..

High levels of O2 and low levels of CO2

Hemoglobin under high temperatures

Oxygen released

Long chains of amino acids

Protein

Cellular Respiration

CO2 + H2O (Water) = Sugar + O2

Sections of Digestive Tract

Pharynx, Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Anus (accessory: liver, pancreas, salivary glands)

Two phases involved with digestion

Physical, chemical

What type of muscle is found within the digestive system?

Smooth muscle

Major digestive enzyme in saliva

Amylase (starch to maltose)

Role of stomach

Sanitizes, stores, mixes, chemical digestion

Peristalsis

Waves of smooth muscle contractions- propel food along GI tract

What type of chemical digestion beings in the stomach?

Protein, pepsin responsible

Gastric glands produce

Mucus, HCl, Pepsinogen (Low pH)

Bile salts important for digestion of...

Lipids

What organ produces bile?

Gall bladder

Which portion of the digestive tract has the largest surface area?

Small Intestine
