57 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

epithelial tissue

lining of organs, protection

simple squamous epithelium

layer of thin, flat cells that lines internal cavities, the heart, and blood vessels

skeletal muscle

muscles attached to bones - voluntary contraction, striated


cardiac muscle

found only in the heart, involuntary,, branching, striated cells

smooth muscle

internal organs, involuntary

motor neurons

take messages from spinal cord to muscles

connective tissue

connects different parts of the body together - bone, blood, cartilage, proper connective tissue

loose fibrous connective tissue

supports epithelium, internal organs, muscles, and nerves

dense fibrous connective tissue

tendons, ligaments, connects bones and muscles

adipose tissue

fat storage, insulation, protection

compact bone

central canal - contains nerve and blood vessels


hyaline cartilage

in nose and walls of respiratory passages

red blood cells

bioconcave, no nucleus, carry oxygen

white blood cells

larger, have a nucleus, fight infection

pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium

cilia on the end of each cell


lining of trachea - protects lungs, moves mucus

simple columnar epithelial

tall, column like cells with nucleus at base, lines digestive tract + uterus, absorbs nutrients and protects

simple cuboidal epithelial

single layer of cube shaped cells found in the kidney and gland ducts, secretes mucus and protects

chi square value

= sum of (difference in observed and expected value)^2 /expected value

mRNA

messenger RNA - carries code from DNA to ribosomes

transcription

complementary mRNA is made from a DNA template - RNA polymerase

codon

set of three bases in mRNA

anticodon

complementary to codons

gel electrophoresis

separates molecules by charge and size (used in forensic science)

ectoderm

forms the nervous system and skin in embryos

endoderm

germ layer - forms lining of digestive and respiratory system

mesoderm

germ layer - forms cardiovascular, muscular, reproductive, and skeletal systems

morula

stage if zygote division - ball of cells about same since as original zygote

blastula

zygote division - single layered ball of cells with blastocoel in middle

early gastrula

blastula folds inward to form two layered gastrula - outer layer is ectoderm, inner layer is endoderm

nondusjunction

-homologues fail to separate during meiosis I or II

extraembryonic membranes

chorion, amnion, yolk sac, allantois

chorion

humans- forms fetal portion of placenta, absorbs nutrients from mother


chick- gas exchange

amnion

contains amniotic fluid

yolk sac

chick - surrounds yolk


mammals - first blood cell formation

allantois

chick - storage area for waste


human - part of umbilical cord

induction

induces formation of nervous system

oral cavity

tongue and teeth

glottis

opening through which air passes to the trachea

epiglottis

flap that covers epiglottis

thoracic cavity

heart and lungs

thymus gland

lymphatic system, white blood cells

abdominal cavity

liver, spleen, intestines, stomach, kidneys

liver

largest organ in abdomen, disposes of old blood cells and produces bile

spleen

long flat organ connected to stomach, purifies blood

gallbladder

stores and releases bile

axial skeleton

skill, spine, ribs

pectoral girdle

clavicle and scapula

arm bones

humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges

flexion

movement of joints toward each other

abduction

movement of part away from body

isometric contraction

length of muscle does not change

sarcomere

unit of muscle

mitosis

1 diploid cell makes 2 diploid

meiosis

1 diploid makes 4 haploid

prophase 1

chromosomes line up, crossing over

metaphase I

homologous chromosomes line up at center of cell, spindle attaches

skin

stratified squamous epithelial cells
