What are the functions and major parts of the integumentary system?
protect against drying, disease, sun dammage - hair, skin, and nails.
What are the levels of organization?
Cells/tissue/organs/organ systems
Define homeostasis and give an example.
Homeostasis is to maintain a constant internal environment.
Controling your body temp. by sweating, shivering and diverting blood flow
What is a neuron and give the function?
smallest structural & functional unit - carries impulses
Give the function of the lymphatic system
collects fluids, immune- lymph nodes, spleen
What are the three types of neurons and how are they classified?
Sensory, motor, and interneuron- classified by the direction they carry impluse
What is a neurotransmitter? Function?
Chemical that transmit nerve impluses across synapse
List the path of an impulse
Dendrite (collect infro), cell body, axon, end terminals (release neurotransmitters)
Give the function of the cerebrum
largest part, ability to think and reason, right side controls the left, left side controls right
Give the function of the medulla oblongata-
controls heartbeat, blood pressure, respiration rate
Give the function of the cerebellum
muscle coordination
List the sensory receptors and where they are located
Pain (everywhere except brain)
thermoreceptors (sense temperature)
photoreceptors (for light found in ere with cones and rods), chemoreceptors (in nose and tongue, hold nose to lessen taste)
mechanoreceptors (balance)
Describe and give examples of a depressant
slows down reflexes, poor judgment, disrupt coordination. Alcohol
Describe and give an exampeles of a stimulant
Speeds up heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. Ex: Methamphetamines
How many bones does an adult have?
206
Name and describe the parts of a bone
Haversian canals (contains nerves and blood vessels), periosteum (membrane that surrounds bones), compact (hard part) spongy (has holes at the ends of bone) marrow (makes blood cells)
Define ossification. In whom does it occur?
Cartilage turns to bone. Occurs in embryos, newborns, and teenagers
How much muscle is in the body?
more than 40%
What is a ligament?
Attaches bone to bone
What is a tendon
Attaches muscle to bone
Name the joints and give example
Ball and Socket (shoulder and hip), Hinge (knee, elbow), immovable (skull), partially moveable (ribs)
How does a muscle contract?
sliding filament theory, actin and myosin slides
Name three types of muscle and give their location
Skeletal (attached to skeleton), Smooth (organs), Cardiac (heart)
How does a joint bend?
Antagonistic, muscle contracts
Name the layers of the skin
Epidermis and dermis
Name the parts of the integumentary system
Skin, hair, and nails
What protein is found in the integumentary system?
Keratin
Symphatic system VS parasymphathetic system
Symphatic system - "stress" heart rate and blood pressure increases.
parasymphathetic system - "Peace" heart rate and blood pressure low or normal
Desrcibe the somatic system
Voluntary, have control over
Describe the reflex arc (response)
Receptor-sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron, muslce (Brain NOT involved)
Describe antagonistic muscles and give an example
Work against each other (Ex: Biceps/triceps)
What is partial contraction and which muscles participate?
Muscle tone, skeletal
