Animal organization begins at the _________ level.

Cellular

a group of cells working together

Tissue

A group of tissues working together

Organ

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.

*Job is to convey information throughout the body.


*Makes up nerves, spinal cord and brain.



Neurons

form communication networks and receive, process, and transmit.

Neuroglia

Cells that support neurons.

Schwann Cells

are high in fat and insulate neurons.

Astrocytes

attach to blood vessels in the brain.

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


Teratogen
substances that cause birth defects.

Virus


is a small infectious agent that is nucleic material inside of a protein coat.
Genetic information:

DNA àmRNAàTranslation RNAàmRNAàTranslation(Ribovirus)


RNAàDNA àmRNA àTranslation




– Retrovirus


Proteincoat
capid

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.
