Homeostasis refers to

Stable internal environment

Active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids

Osmoregulation

The functional units of the kidneys are

Nephrons

The ducts in the kidney that collects urine is the

Renal pelvis

Upon inhalation air moves: Nobody Can Leave The Big BitcheS Alone

Nasal cavity > larynx > trachea > bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli

The concentration of smooth muscles that moves food down the esophagus

Peristalsis

What is the function of the enzyme salivary and amylase

Digestive enzyme that acts on starch in foods

The breaking up of a fat

Emulsification

Where the digestion of proteins fats and carbohydrates is completed

Small intestine

Salivary glands liver pancreas and the gallbladder are

Accessory organs

This filters the blood coming from the digestive tract

Liver

Stores and concentrate bile

Gallbladder

Capillary exchange of gases occur in the

Lung alveoli for the process of diffusion

Vertebrate heart consists of two pumps

One for pulmonary and the other for systemic circulation

The heart has

Two atria and two ventricles

Deoxygenated blood enters the

Right atrium of the heart

The sequence of events that occurs when the heart beats

Cardiac cycle

When the heart pumps blood into arteries

Systole

Heart relax and fills with blood

Diastole

Blank take, and blank return

Arteries take, and veins return

Adrenal glands are associated with

Kidneys

Make more pth, in response to low calcium

Parathyroid

Releases a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream

Thyroid glands

What are the three types of muscles

Cardiac smooth and skeletal

Smooth muscles have no

Striations

Smooth muscles are not under

Voluntary control

Dendrites receive signals from

Other neurons

Axons propagate the signal from the blank and are covered with blank

Cell body, and myelin sheath

What is responsible for Immediate response and controls heart rate

Sympathetic nervous system

Parasympathetic nervous system allows an animal

Slows down heart rate and stimulates digestion

Are viruses living or nonliving

Non, they require a living cell

Capsid is

The protein shell of a virus

Live vaccines are made by

Weakening of the disease-causing virus by growing in the laboratory

Reverse transcriptase enzyme helps at synthesizing

DNA from viral RNA

Antiretroviral drugs Target the

Reverse transcriptase enzyme of HIV

Nonspecific defense mechanisms, immediately or within hours

Innate immune system

Activated by exposure to pathogens, remembers the pathogens

Adaptive immune system

The first line of defense against pathogens

Skin

Large group of proteins secreted by cells of immune system

Cytokines

Interferons are the immune systems response to

Viral infections

NK cells identify the infections from virus by the

Altered expression MHC I molecules

Cell mediated immune response is controlled by

T cells

Humoral immune response is controlled by

B cells

T cells undergo maturation in the

Thymus gland

B cells secrete proteins called blank that bind to and inactivate antigens

Antibodies

T cells directly attack

Foreign particles

Blank mediate the cellular immune response

Antigen presenting cells

Process antigen material and presented on the cell surface

Dendritic cell

Directly attack and Destroy infected cells

Cytotoxic cells

Filters the foreign particles circulating in the blood

Spleen

Analogy is immune response that occurs even though

No harmful pathogens present

Pollen allergies an example of

Immediate hypersensitivity

Hypersensitivity to self antigens is called

Autoimmunity

Molecular mimicry is a potential cause

Autoimmunity

Fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis

Different types of asexual reproduction

External fertilization is common in

Aquatic species like fish

Zona pellucida as a binding site for

The sperm head

The process of gastrulation results in the

Formation of three germ layers

Sperm production occurs in the

Seminiferous tubules

Semen includes sperm and secretions from the

Prostate gland, seminal vesicles, and bulbourethral gland

Ovaries, oviducts, uterus and the vagina are the

Internal female reproductive structures

Once eggs mature in the ovary they are released from

The follicle

Fertilization occurs in

Oviduct

Supports the developing embryo and fetus during gestation

Uterus

The production of egg and sperm involving the process of meiosis which halves the chromosome number

Gametogenesis

Ovary -> oviduct -> uterus -> vagina

Passage of the egg

The process of releasing an egg from the ovary

Ovulation

These stimulates spermatogenesis and testosterone secretion

LH and FSH

Secretes progesterone and estrogen

Corpus luteum

A surge in LH is responsible for

Ovulation
