Physiology |
|
Animal organization begins at the _________ level. |
Cellular |
|
a group of cells working together |
Tissue |
|
A group of tissues working together |
Organ |
|
Multiple organs working together |
Organ System |
|
*Most diverse. *Always embedded in a matrix. *Typically the matrix is secreted by cells called __________. |
Connective Nerves Fibroblast |
|
**A supporting structure that gives an animal its shape and protects internal organs. |
Skeleton |
|
Hydrostatic Skeleton |
consists of a fluid within a layer of flexible tissue. |
|
Exoskeleton |
an external and usually hard covering to the body. |
|
Endoskeleton |
an internal support structure. |
|
Bones Large Bones |
*provide movement and give Ca and P to the body. *make blood cells. ~contain a bone marrow which contains mostly fat. |
|
Bone Tissue |
*consists of cells suspended in a matrix of collegen and minerals. *the hardness is from Ca and P coating collegen fibers. |
|
Bone Cells |
are called osteocytes , which form rings called which contain blood vessels and nerves. |
|
Compact Bone Spongy |
has closely packed osteons and has loosely packed osteon filled with marrow. |
|
Cartilage |
lacks a blood supply so it takes a long time to heal |
|
Ligaments |
join bone to bone. |
|
Homeostasis |
Calcium regulation (maintaining constant conditions) |
|
Calcium Regulation |
*If Ca is too high the thyroid releases calcitonin. *Intestines stops taking up Ca. *Kidneys move Ca into the urine. *Bones take up Ca. *If Ca is too low, the parathyroid releases PTH. |
|
Osteoporosis |
woman have less bone mass than males and are more likely to suffer from this. *the bones release more Ca than they can take up. |
|

|
Neuroglia |
Cells that support neurons. |
|
Schwann Cells |
are high in fat and insulate neurons. |
|

|
Sensory Nervous System: Three Roles |
*Sensory input - vision, touch, smell, pain *Sensory Integration - the processing of the senses by the brain and the spinal cord. (reflexes) *Motor Response - a signal sent to muscles to the sensory input. |
|
Sensory Nervous System: Two Main Divisions |
*Control Nervous System - accomplishes the sensory processing (brain and spinal cord). *Peripheral Nervous System - carries information between the brain and the body. |
|
Axon |
single long extension that conducts nerve impulses. |
|
Myelin Sheath |
cells that surround that axon and act as insulators. |
|
Node of Ranvier |
space between myelin sheath cells. |
|
Neuron |
a nerve cell |
|
The Cell Body |
houses all the normal cell parts like nucleus, mitochondria ect. |
|
Dendrites |
are short branched extensions that transmit information toward the cell body. |
|
How does a nerve work? |
*If a nerve is not firing, it is known as being in resting potential and is highly negative inside. *Maintaining the resting potential using a Na - K pump, which maintains the charges. *When a nerve fires it is a wave of Na/Positive charges moving in and K - out. |
|
*TheMyelin Sheath increasing the speed of nerve impulses.
*Thesignal can jump to the Nodes of Ranvier. *Thenerve fires over 100x faster. |
Myelin Sheath |
|
Diseases Tay Sachs
|
excess fat and nerves stop, while multiple sclerosis- the sheath degrade and the nerve fire (sporadically.)
|
|
Atthe end of the nerve there is a space that leads tothe next neuron.
|
Synapse |
|
*To relay the signal, the 1st nerve sends molecules, which hit proteins on the next nerve signaling the continuation of the impulse.
*Regulation leads to our understanding of depression and anti-depressant medication. *teaches about bug sprays, nerves gases and opiate drugs. |
neurotranomitters
|
|
Muscle Tissue |
*Cellsthat contract when protein fibers move past one another.
*Theycontain abundant mitochondria. *Attachto bones to make body parts move. |
|
Skeletalmuscle
|
*consists of long cells called muscle fibers each containing multiple nuclei.
*Most attaches to bones and causes voluntary movements that animals control. |
|
Cardiac muscle
|
*found only in the heart.
*Cells are short and control is involuntary. |
|
Smooth muscle
|
*contraction is involuntary.
*Controls the movement of food, pupil contraction, and blood vessel diameter (No Striations). |
|
The human muscular system is responsible for:
|
*Movement
*Controlling body openings *Maintain posture *Communication *Maintain body temperature. |
|
Contractingmuscles pull bones in ___________ and needs an _________ for back andforth.
|
*One direction
*Antagonist |
|
Muscles |
are packages of muscles of muscle fibers, nerves, and blood vessels. |
|
Muscle Fibers |
are cells that contain myofibil. |
|
Myofibil |
the working unit of a muscle, which contains thick filaments (Myosin) and thin filaments (Actin). |
|
Muscle Fibers Contracting |
Actin and myosin are arranged in repeated units called sacromere.
When a muscle contracts the thick filaments stick to the thin filaments by way of active sites. This causes the thick filaments to pull the thin filaments thus moving the z-lines closer together. The myosin releases the active by way of ATP.
|
|
Homeostasis |
*isthe state of constant internal conditions.
–Blood pressure. –Temperature. –pH and chemical composition of blood. *works off feedback |
|
Negative Feedback Loop |
*an action that counters an existing condition -Temperature, water |
|
Positive Feedback Loop |
*the body reacts to change by amplifying it. -Lactation and blood clot. |
|
Spermatogenesis |
*the making of sperm. *continuous process that begins when a male reaches puberty and continues throughou life. |
|
Sperm |
is made in the seminiferous tubules |
|
The male releases |
Semen |
|
Sperm cells secrete to: |
*give sperm energy - simple sugars *neutralize urine *make sperm swim |
|
Spermatogonia |
-One produces 2 daughters -One stays a germ cell -Other specializes into a sperm cell |
|
Acrosomes |
packet of digestive enzymes. |
|
Oogenesis |
the making of egg cells |
|
Female eggs go through two stops: |
-Premenstration eggs go through Miosis I -Upon ovulation the eggs continue and stop at Metaphase II. They will only proceed if fertilized. -This continues to occur until menopause, the stopping of a woman releasing eggs. |
|
Hormones
|
Influence Female Reproductive Function
|
|
Following Menstration ____ and ____ are released into the blood stream. This causes the ovaries to release __________ and ____________ –These cause a thickening of the ___________ preparing for implantation. |
LH & FSH
Estrogen & Progestrone (Birth Control) Endometrim |
|
The build up of estrogen and progesterone trigger a huge release of ____ and _____ triggering ______________. If ___ _________ occurs then ____________ and _________________ sharply decline causing the ________________ to leave the body. |
LH & FSH Ovulation No implantation, estrogen and progesterone, endometrim |
|
Fertilization |
*Sperm’s acrosomes digests into layers outside egg
*begins when the outer membranes of one sperm cell and the egg touch. -Stops other sperm *Egg completes Miosis II *Implantation – zygote embeds in uterus/ endometrim *Secretes human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) (Pregnancy Test) *Keeps cells of corpus luteum producing progesterone *Prevents menustration |
|
Pregnancy
|
Lasts 40 weeks
Week 7 SRY gene is turned on making a boy.Organs start to form and function from 8 to 37 week. The last organ to achieve function is/are lungs. Doctors want women to at least get to 34 weeks due to brain development. The amniotic fluid around the baby is basically urine. |
|
During pregnancy women:
|
*Have an increased sense of smell. Can have a metallic taste in their mouth.
*Should eat an extra 300 calories a day. *Gain around 50% extra blood. Should be taking folic acid. (Prevents birth defects) |
|
Delivery
|
Contraction in the Uterus Drive Labor and Childbirth.
Could happen naturally. Provider may use tools. Placenta expelled. |
|
Labor
|
Pre birth 3 stages Active labor: cervix dialate need 10 cm, contractions become constant and extreme, water breaks.
|
|
Cesarean
|
baby is removed through surgery.
Most likely all babies will be through c-section. |
|
Positive Feedback |
-Stretching triggers oxytocin release
-Oxytocin stimulates uterus -Birth stops cycle |
|
Birth Defects have many causes:
|
*Any abnormality that causes death or disability in the child *Alcohol, cigarettes, illicit drugs, prescription drugs,excess or insufficient vitamins, starvation, and viral infection |
|

|
Virus |
Some have a glycoproteins, which help the virusattach and confuse the WBC.
Not alive (acellular) so antibiotic do not work. Destroyed by WBC once recognized. Need antibiotics. |
|
If a virus infects an organism outside of its host range it can do:
|
– Nothing. – Replicate but not harm the individual called a reservoir. |
|
Host |
The organisms that a virus can infect |
|
Virus mutations:
|
– Retro viruses mutate faster than DNA viruses.
- RNA Polymerates misreads genes more often than DNA polymerates. |
|
