Zygote, Blastocyst, gastrula, organogensis
What is cellular differentiation?
All cells are different when we are an adult. Cells become specialized into lung cells, stomach, nerves, etc.
What makes cells differentiate?
By gene expression, chemicals, or environment.
How long does it take for cell differentiation to begin?
3 weeks in the gastrula stage.
What are the 4 major groupings of cells during the gastrula stage?
Ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm, germ cells.
What type of cells originate from the endoderm, mesoderm, endoderm, and germ cells?
endoderm- lung thyroid
mesoderm - skeletal, muscle, red blood cells
extoderm- pigment cells, skin
germ cells- males = sperm cells, females = egg cells
Name the stages from cells to the human body.
cells- tissues- organs- organ systems- human body.
Define tissues
A group of similar cells that perform a single function.
What is the overall function of the connective tissue?
support and connects parts.

A cell that transmits impulses carried by the nervous system.
What is the difference between the central and peripheral nervous system?
Central is the brain and spinal cord.
peripheral is the extremeties and all other neurons.
What is the overall function of the skeletal system?
skeletal system supports the body and protection to organs, movement, stores minerals, blood cell formation. 206 bones total.

Integumentary System
Protection from
infection, UV from sun, regulate body temp, removes waste throught sweat
Organs of the Integumentary System
skin, hair, nails
Skin
2 layers:
epidermis outer later (dead)
dermis under layers Line cells
Body temp.
sweating controls by evaporative process through sweat glands
when water evaportes cooling process occurs
Circulatory Sys.
Transportation system
Goes through out the entire body
oxygen carbon dioxide exchange
Circulatory Sys.
Transports what through out the body
Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Nutrients, wastes, hormones,
Heart
Pumps blood through blood vessels
3 types of heart vessels
veins: carry blood toward heart
Capillaries small
Arteries: Carry blood away from the heart
Lymphatic system
collects fludid lost from blood
fights infection
Lymph nodes molecules to fight off infection
Immune System
fight infection through production of cells that inactivate foreign substances or cells
Immune system defences
1st skin
2nd Inflammatory responce
Specific defences antibodies fight off a peticular microorganism
Respiratory System
exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood, air tissues
Respiratory System
Order of Flow
nose(pharnyx), larnyx, lungs
Respiratory System
Diaphram
muscle is dome shaped
on inhale makes more space
goes up and down to inhale and exhale
Digestive System
breaks down food into small molecules that can be passed to the cells
Digestive System

Mouth
breaks down food by teeth and enzymes
Digestive System

Esophagus
tube connecting the mouth and stomach
Digestive System

Stomach
more enzymes break down food and stomach churns food
Digestive System

Small Intestine
more enzymes break down food
it is absorbed into the blood system
Digestive System

Large Intestine
remove water from undigested food that is left
Digestive System

Pancreas
produces enzymes
Digestive System

Liver
makes bile ond salts, breaks down disolves and disperses droplets of fat
Digestive System

Gall Bladder

Digestive System

enzymes
proteins that break downinto small molecules
Waste from Blood
1 kidneys major organ
2 ureter
3 urinary bladder
4 urethra
Kidneys
make urine

Endrocrine System
Releases hormones into the blood and delivers messages through out the body
Endrocrine System

glands
mian one thyroid
Endrocrine System

Hormones
Chemicals released in one part of the body and tell another part of the body to do something messenger & maintains homeostatis
Reproductive System
