Absorption
|

They provide a support framework for organs such as the liver and lymph nodes. |
|
Loose Connective Tissue
|
found in the skin and in most internal organs of vertebrates; allows organs to expand
|

Dense Connective Tissue
|
collagen fibers are more tightly packed than in loose connective tissue; found in ligaments and tendons
|
|
Cartilage
|
found at ends of bones; reduces friction
|
|
Blood
|
cells surrounded by non-living plasma
|
|
Bone
|
rigid organs that form part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. Bones function to move, support, and protect the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals.
|
|
Fibroblasts
|
cells in loose and dense connective tissue; produce fibers and non-living material
|
|
Macrophages
|
cells specialized for phagocytizing foreign materials, bacteria, and cleaning up debris
|
|
Muscle Tissue
|
most abundant tissue type in animals; contracts in response to stimulation. It cannot lengthen by itself but is lengthened by the contraction of other muscles
|
|
Types of muscle tissue
|
1. Skeletal muscle – very long cells
2. Cardiac muscle – found in the heart 3. Smooth muscle – involuntary muscle. Surrounds gut and moves food through digestive tract. |
|
Nervous Tissue
|
responds to stimuli and transmits impulses from one body part to another
|
|
Endoderms
|
use metabolic heat to regulate body temperature
Allows sustained activity Can maintain stable body temperature on land Energetically expensive |
|
Ecotherms
|
gain most of their heat from the environment
|
|
Suspension feeders
|
sift small food particles from water
|
|
Substrate feeders
|
animals that live in or on their food source
|
|
substrate feeders
|
animals that live in or on their food source
|
|
Fluid feeders
|
suck nutrient-rich fluid from a living host
|
|
Bulk feeders
|
eat large pieces of food
|
|
Homeostasis
|
Animals (should) eat so that:
Energy consumed = Energy expended |
|
Digestion
|
the chemical breakdown of large food molecules into smaller molecules that can be used by cells
Digestion is accomplished by enzymes |
|
Breakdown of polysaccharides
|
to Maltose
1. Salivary Amylase 2. Pancreatic Amylase |
|
Breakdown of Maltose
|
to Glucose
maltase -intestinal cells |
|
Breakdown of protein
|
to peptides
pepsin - stomach trypsin - pancreas |
|
Breakdown of peptides
|
to amino acids
peptidases -intestinal cells |
|
Breakdown of fat
|
to glycerol + fatty acids
lipase - pancreas |
|
organs - digestive system
|
mouth, pharnyx, esophagus, oral cavity, salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, stomach, small intestinge, large intestine, rectum, anus
|
|
Teeth
|
chew food into smaller pieces so that chemical digestion can occur faster
|
|
Saliva
|
1. contains amlyase – an enzyme to break down starch
Saliva 2. contains mucous/mucins – lubricate and hold chewed up food together |
|
Tongue
