Q

Define Thermoregulation

A

The process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range

Q

What is circulatory adaption?

A

The regulation of blood flow near the body surfaces
Vasodilation: blood flow in skin increases, increasing heat loss
Vasoconstriction: blood flow in skin decreases, decreasing heat loss

Q

What region of the brain plays a role in thermoregulation?

23
Q

Define bioenergetics

A

The overall flow and transformation of energy

24
Define biosynthesis
Body growth Repair Storage of material, like fat
25
Basal Metabolic Rate vs Standard Metabolic Rate
BMR- is the metabolic rate of an endothermic at a comfortable temperature SMR-the metabolic rate of an ectotherm at rest at a specific temperature
26
Torpor (2 kinds)
Physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases Hibernation-winter Estivation-summer
27
4 Essential Nutrients
Essential amino acids Essential fatty acids Vitamins Minerals
28
Undernourishment vs malnourishment
Undernourishment: the result of a diet that supplies less chemical energy than what is needed Malnourishment: long-term absence of one or more essential nutrients from the diet
29
Effects of undernourishment and malnourishment
Undernourishment- use up stored fats and carbs, break down own proteins and lose muscle, protein deficiency, die Malnourishment- deformities, disease, death
30
Describe INGESTION | Know each
Act of eating 1. Suspension feeders 2. Substrate feeders 3. Fluid feeders 4. Bulk feeders
31
Function of Parietal cells and chief cells
Parietal cells- secrete hydrogen and chloride ions separately Chief cells-secrete inactive pepsinogen -Together it makes gastric juice consisting of hydrochloric acid and activated enzyme, pepsin
32
Where does the acid chyme mix with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder
DUODENUM-First part of the small intestine
33
What enzymes does the pancreas produce?
Trypsin and chymotrypsin
34
Function of insulin
Enhances the transport/uptake of glucose into cells and aids in storing it as glycogen, decreasing amounts in the blood
35
What is the function of glucagon?
Promotes the break down of glycogen in the liver and release of glucose in blood, increasing the amount of glucose in the blood
36
Arteries vs Veins
Arteries take blood away from the heart while veins take blood toward the heart
37
Mayocardium
Heart muscle that contracts to push the blood through the body
38
Cardiac cycle
The rhythmic cycle of the heart contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic cycle
39
Systole vs diastole
Systole- contraction phase | Diastole- relaxation phase
40
Rate of blood being pumped through body depends on 2 things
``` Heart rate (pulse) = speed Stroke Volume = resistance ```
41
Function of the SA node
( aka pacemaker) | Sets the rate and timing of the cardiac muscle cell contract
42
Sounds of normal and defective heart
"Lub-dup" Lub-blood against AV valves Dub-blood against semilunar valves Heart murmur- black flow of blood through defective valves
43
What makes up plasma?
Water Ions Proteins
44
What makes up the cellular elements of blood?
Erythrocytes (RBC) Leukocytes (WBC) Platelets
45
Regions of brain to control breathing
Medulla oblongata - breathing rate and depth | Pons - tempo.
46
Partial pressure
The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture of gasses
47
Tidal volume
The volume of air inhaled with each breath
48
Vital capacity
Maximum tidal volume
49
Residual volume
After exhalation, the air that remains in the lungs
50
Negative breathing pressure
Pulling air into the lungs
51
Bohr Shift
CO2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O2
52
respiratory pigments ( 2 kinds )
Proteins that transport oxygen and greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry - hemocyanin: copper to bind oxygen - hemoglobin: iron to bind oxygen
53
Lymphoid stem cells vs myeloid stem cells
Lymphoid stem cells differentiate into B and T cells | Myeloid stem cells differentiate into leukocytes and erythrocytes and platelets
54
Antherosclerosis
Build up of plaque deposits within arteries
55
Heart attack
The death of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from blockage of one or more coronary arteries
56
Stroke
The death of nervous tissues in the brain
