Q

Coronary veins and arteries

A

Leave or enter the heart

Feed the heart

19
Q

Renal veins and arteries

A

To and from the kidneys

20
Q

Hepatic portal system

A

Takes nutrients to the LIVER from small intestine

Liver

21
Q

Kidney

A

Filters blood and removes waste

22
Q

Hilius

A

Ureter

Renal arteries and veins

23
Q

Urinary bladder

24
Urethra
Where waste leaves the body as urine
25
Scrotum
Maintains temperature of the testes
26
Testis
Produce sperm and androgens
27
Epididymis
Sperm storage and maturation
28
Seminal vesicles
Secretes the majority of fluid that becomes semen
29
Prostate
- secretes 20-30% of the fluid that becomes semen | - helps expel semen during ejaculation
30
Spermatic chord
Transports sperm from testis to urethra
31
Body of the uterus
Fetus storage and maturation in certain animals( like in humans)
32
Horn of the uterus
Fetus storage and maturation in certain animals (like in rats)
33
Yolk sac
Provides nutrients for the offspring
34
Placenta
Hormone secretion, nutrient uptake, waste elimination, gas exchange
35
Levels of biodiversity
Genetic Species Ecosystems
36
Threats to Biodiversity
Habitat loss Introduces species Over exploitation
37
Species interactions
Interspecific Competition Intraspecific Competition Predation Herbivory
38
Mechanisms of Evolution
``` Mutation Gene Flow Genetic Drift Non-random Mating Natural selection ```
39
Gene flow
The transfer of alleles from one population to another resulting from the movement of fertile individuals or their gametes
40
Genetic Drift
A process in which chance events cause unpredictable fluctuations in allele frequencies from one generation to the next
41
Natural Selection
A process by which individuals that have certain inherited traits ten to survive and reproduce at higher rates
42
HWE Requirements
Large population size No natural selection, mutation, gene flow, or genetic drift Random mating
43
Characteristics of a monocot
``` 1 Cotyledon Leaf Venation is Parallel Vascular bundles are scattered Roots are fibrous Multiples of 3 ```
44
Characteristics of a dicot
``` 2 Cotyledons Leaf Venation is net-like Vascular bundles are arranged in ring Taproots present Multiples of 4 and 5 ```
45
Monocot vs dicot roots
Dicot roots have the T in the center | Monocot have a ring of vascular bundles
