Q

macrophages

A

engulf foreign debris and cells by phagocytosis

21
Q

What are the 3 kinds of connective tissue fibers?

A
  1. Collagenous fibers (provide strength and flexibility)
  2. Reticular (join connective tissue to adjacent tissue)
  3. Elastic (make tissue elastic, restore it back to original shape)
22
Q

What are the types of connective tissue?

A

Loose connective tissue (under the skin)
Fibrous connective tissue (forming a tendon)
Adipose tissue (contain fat droplets)
Cartilage (skeletal elements at the end of the bone)
Bone (living organ)
Blood (plasma is matrix)

23
Q

Loose CT

A

most widespread
under the skin holds organs in place
found in skin and throughout body
has all 3 types of fibers

24
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

responsible for voluntary movements
made of unbranched fibers
striated- features repeating functional units called sarcomeres stripe like appearance
attached to bones by tendons

25
Q

Cardiac muscle

A 
made of branched fibers 
forms contractile wall of heart 
striated 
responsible for contraction of heart 
has fibers that interconnect via intercalated discs which relay signals from cell to cell and synchronize heart condition
26
Q

Smooth muscle

A

made of spindle shaped cells
unstriated
found in the walls of the digestive tract arteries urinary bladder and other internal organs
responsible for involuntary movements(contraction of internal organs)
ex- churning of stomach and constriction of arteries

27
Q

Nervous tissue

A

functions in receiving transmitting and processing info

sense stimuli and transmits signals called nerve impulses from one part of animal to another

28
Q

Loose CT

A

most widespread
under the skin holds organs in place
found in skin and throughout body
made up of loose weave of fibers- has all 3 types of fibers

29
Q

Fibrous CT

A 
(forming a tendon) 
made of parallel fibers 
collagenous fibers 
found in tendons and ligaments 
connects bones and muscles
30
Q

Bone

A

(living organ)
made up of collagen fibers in calcium salts
found in rigid parts of skeleton
gives support to body
living tissue that secretes a really hard matrix that holds the cells in place

31
Q

Cartilage

A

(skeletal elements at the end of the bone in our noses and ears, and joints where they cushion one bone to another)
rubbery collagenous matrix
found in flexibel parts of skeleton
provides support
skeleton of embryo which gets replaced by bones

32
Q

Adipose

A

contain/stores fat droplets in adipose cells distributed throughout matrix
serves as storage padding and insulation

33
Q

Blood

A

plasma is matrix which consist of water proteins and salts

transports nutrients gases and waste materials

34
Q

muscle tissue

A

responsible for body movement

35
Q

muscle tissue

A

responsible for body movement

composed of long cells called muscle fibers

36
Q

How many major organ systems in vertebrates /

A

12 major

37
Q

What are examples of negative feedback loops?

A 
Body temp  
Blood ph  
Blood sugar levels  
Blood calcium levels  
Thyroid hormone levels  
Bile production
38
Q

What are examples of Positive feedback loops ?

A

Blood clotting- once it starts it triggers more blood clotting
Uterine contractions during child birth (mediated by oxytocin) (Each contraction increases strength and timing of next and it grows and grows until baby is born )
Male ejaculation (mediated by oxytocin)
Less common than negative feedback loops

39
Q

Positive feedback loops

A

Amplify changes rather than dampen them (If it sees temperature rising it increases that temperature)
Less common than negative feedback loops
Grows out of control (if it amplifies changes the changes are going to get bigger and bigger until the system breaks)

40
Q

Which part of the brain is involved in homeostasis?

A

hypothalamus

warm receptors signal the hypothalamic thermostat when temperature increases vice versa

41
Q

What happens when temperature is below body range?

A

when the body temperature decreases- stimulus
a bundle of nerve cells in the hypothalamus(control centre and sensor) and act as thermostats and inhibits heat loss mechanisms and activates heat saving ones
skeletal muscles contracting causing shivering generating heat and blood vessels in skin constricting reducing heat loss of skins surface (responses)
body temp increases

42
Q

What happens when temperature is above body range?

A

the thermostat in hypothalamus activates and shuts down heat retention mechanisms and promotes cooling of the body by blood vessels in skin dilating filing capillaries with warm blood which radiates heat away from the body and sweat glands secrete sweat which evaporates cooling the body and the body temp decreases

43
Q

Anatomy

A

shapes of organisms

44
Q

physiology

A

how things work, how different cells metabolize

45
Q

what did Lamarck believe?

A

form follows function
The more you use something the stronger it will be
Giraffes needing to reach high areas will cause their necks to grow and will cause their offspring to have long necks

46
Q

What did Darwin believe?

A

form precedes function
If you have a long neck you will be more likely to survive
In any case you can learn a lot about one by observing the other
An animal’s form is not perfect

47
Q

Congenital mirror movement disorder

A

few axons are going to left hand some to right and his left fingers are mirroring the left and he cant control it

48
Q

Explain how

Animals form is not perfect

A

Laryngeal nerve in all vertebrae’s wraps around the aorta to operate mouth parts
This is expensive to build all that neural machinery and expensive to operate and also slow
This started with fish their brain and heart were next to each other because they don’t have necks so by chance the nerve wrapped around aorta to get to mouth parts and it evolved
Easier from a evolutionary perspective to keep this then to redesign

Right side of brain controls left side of body vice versa
All of the nerves from the right side of the brain cross to the left side of the body this just evolved this way It would have been harder in a evolutionary stand point to change

49
Q

where are each of the type of tissue derived from

A

muscle tissue- mesoderm
epithelial- endoderm
connective- mesoderm
nervous- ectoderm
