Q

epithelial tissue

A

covers the outside of the bosy and lines the organs and cavities within the body. It contains cells that are

cuboidal - dice
columnar- like on end
arrangement-simple, stratified, of pseudostratified

Q

muscle tissue

A

consits of long cells called muscle fibers that contract in response to nerve signals

skeletal -voluntary movement
smooth -involuntary body activities
cardiac- contraction of heart

Q

endothermic/ectothermic

A
  • generate heat by metabolism mammals, birds and endotherms ( more expensive )
  • -gain heat from external sources

16
Q

radiation

A

heat transfer without any medium and through electromagnetic waves

17
Q

conduction

A

heat transfer b/w part of the same material or different material adjacent to one another

18
Q

evaporation

A

heat absorption by liquids which then becomes a gas

19
Q

convection

A

heat transfer from one mater

20
Q

adaptations for thermoregulation

A
insulation: skin, fur, fat 
circulatory adaptations: regulation of blood flow 
cooling: panting in dogs
behavioral responses: posture
metabolic heat production:
21
Q

total energy

A

maintenance + biosynthesis + activity

biosynthesis: body growth and repair

22
Q

byproducts of cellular respiration

A

heat loss, gases

23
Q

metabolic rate

A

amount of energy an animal usues in a unit of time

24
Q

BMR/SMR

A

basal met rate(endotherm at rest)

standard met rate(ectotherm at rest)

25
influences on metabolic rate
size, activity
26
torpor
activity is low and metabolism decreases
27
estivation
summer torpor, enables animals to survive long periods of high temps and scarce water
28
daily torpor
feeding patterns
