Q

The effect of neighbouring cells

A

where a cell is in a multicellular organism influences how it behaves each cell recieves chemical signals from the cells around it a cell receives different signals based on where it is in the organism. These signals cause the cell to differentiate appropriately

25
comparing Plants vs animals: vascular and muscle
both transport arteries and veins are in muscle tissue
26
comparing Plants vs animals: meristimatic and all animal tissue
can divide and grow
27
3 uses of cell specialization
regeneration, stem cells, manipulating stem cells
28
regeneration
if a salamander loses a limb it can regenerate
29
why cant humans regenrate limbs
before birth all stem cells are set in humans
30
what is a stem cell
in animals it is a cell that can differentiate into many different cell types, is called a stem cell. After cell division daughter cells can dvelop into a different type of cell based on which parts of its DNA is switched on.
31
Embryonicstem cells
can differentiate into any kind of cell
32
tissue stem cells
adult stem celss exist within specialized tissue and can only differentiate into certain types of cell E.G stem cells in bone marrow can turn into white blodd cells, red blood cells, or platelets
33
Manipulating stem celsl
unspecialized stem cells can be taken from an embryo. Problems of moral issues. More recently differentitated adult cells have been turned into unspecialized stem cells
34
4 values of stem cells
Replace cells damaged by drugs/radiation (bone marrow in cancer treatment) Replace nerve cells as these do not grow in adults (spinal injuries) Replace diseased cells (leukemia) Replace organs (grow a bladder in lab from own cells)

51
11 different organ systems I Made Some Noodles Every Christmas, Lickin' Really Delicious Uncles.
integumentary, muscular, skeletal, nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic (immune), respiratory, digestive, urinary, reproductive
52
the digestive system
physically and chemically breaks down food, absorbs nutrients into your body and ingests waste
53
digestive system order
1. mouth, 2. esophagus, 3. liver, 4. stomach, 5. gall bladder, 6. pancreas, 7. large intestine, 8. small intestine, 9. appendix, 10. rectum, 11. anus
54
the mouth
the teeth and tongue physically break down food. Saliva mosistens food. Enzymes in saliva chemcially break down starch (a carb), called bolus
55
swallowing
Muscular movements called peristalis move food down the esophagus to the stomach
56
the stomach
the stomach minces and churns food to further break it down. Hydrochloric acid and enzymes mix with food to chemically digest the nutrients. Mucous prevents the walls of the stomach from being damaged
57
the small intestine & pancrease
nutrients are broken down chemically by enzymes from the small intestine and pancreas.
58
what are vili
Nutrients are absorbed by vili. microscopic projections that increase surface area
59
the large intestine
water is reabsorbed. vitamin k is produced by bacteria
60
what does vitamin k do
assists in blood clotting
61
egestion
waste is stored in the rectum until it is eliminated. It takes 12-72 hours for food to pass through your entire digestive system. the entire digestive tract is about 5-6 meters long
62
respiration
the respiratory system brings air rich in oxygen into the body and gets rid of air rich in carbon dioxide
63
Order of the respiration system
naval cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchi, alveoli. Opposite backwards
64
things on the diagram repiratory system
nostril, nasal cavity, mouth, pharynx, laryns, trachea, lung, brochus (larger splits), bronchiole (tiny parts), alveoli (little dots in corner)
65
Gas inhaled N2=78% O2=21% Ar=~1% CO2=0.04%
Gas exhaled N2=78% O2= 16% Ar=~1% Co2=5%
66
Inhalation My Dog Is Cute, Playful, and Athletic!
the diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract. The chest cavity enlarges. The pressure in the lungs decreases Air rushes into the lungs
67
exhalation Diana Is Calm, Playing And Relaxing
the diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax. The chest cavity decreases in size The pressure in the lungs increases AIr rushes out of the lungs
68
Air processing
blood vessels in your nasal cavity and respiratory passages warm the air. mucus in your nasal cavity and respiratory passages moistens the air and also taps dust and germs nose hairs increase the surface area of this mucous. cilia in your respiratory passages sweep mucous out of lungs
69
gas exchange
in the alveoli oxygen diffuses into blood vessels and carbon dioxide diffuses out of blood vessels
70
circulation
the circulatory system distributes nutrients and oxygen to all of the body's cells removes waste from cells and regulates waste from cells and regulates the body's temperature
71
Blood
blood is composed of cells and plasma.
72
liquid part of blood
plasma
73
red blood cells
carry oxygen form the lungs to the body's cells, and CO2 from the body's cells to the lungs
74
white blood cells
fight infections
75
platelets
allow the blood to clot when blood vessels are broken
76
arteries
carry blood away from the heart
77
veins
carry blood to the heartc
78
capiliaries a
smallest blood vessels. Walls are only one cell thick. Supply oxygen and nutrients to everycell in the body and remove carbon dioxide and waste
79
3 kinds of blood vessels
arteries, veinsa, capilaries
80
the heart has
4 chambers
81
top tube heart
vena cava
82
next to vena cava at top
aorta
83
on the left side attached to vena cava
right atrium
84
right side below aorta
left atrium
85
below right atrium, on the left
right ventricule
86
below left atrium on the the right
left ventricle
87
the right chambers
recieve deoxygenated blood from the body and pump it to the lungsth
88
the left chambers
recieve oxygenated blood from the lungs and pump it to the body
89
though it is often shown as blue in diagrams
human blood is never blue
90
4 types of recent evidence
melting ice, rising sea levels, changes in storm intensity, dying coral reefs
91
3 historical evidence
fossil records, ice cores, tree rings
92
vitamin k is produced and assists
by bacteria, assists with blood clottingt
93
What is xylem
xylem moves water and dissolved minerals up from the roots
94
what is phloem
phloem moves dissolved sugars (food) down from the leaves
95
what is cambium
Cambium is meristematic tissue that makes xylem and phlowem
96
pneumonic for digestive
My excellent little sister gave Paul large, sweet apples, right away! My-mouth Excellent = Esophagus Little = Liver Sister = Stomach Gave = Gall Bladder Paul = Pancreas Large = Large Intestine Sweet = Small Intestine Apples = Appendix Right = Rectum Anus = Away
97
the epiglottis
prevents food from travelling down the trachea when swallowing
98
liver
Bile from the liver emulsifies fat.
99
gallbladeer
Bile is stored in the gallbladder.
