Bio Test #2 Flashcards
What are the four types of tissue?
Epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, nervous tissue
What is epithelial tissue?
It lines body cavities and outer surfaces, and it protects and forms glands that produce hormones, enzymes, and sweat.
What is connective tissue?
Supports and protects structures, fills empty space, includes, tendons, ligaments, bones, cartilage, and blood.
What are the four parts of blood?
- Platelets (clotting)
- Plasma
- White blood cells (fights infection)
- Red blood cells (carries o2)
What is muscle tissue?
Allows for movement
1. Skeletal tissue - muscles controlled/voluntary
2. Smooth tissue - blood vessels, stomach (involuntary)
3. Cardiac tissue - heart (involuntary)
What is nervous tissue?
Responds to stimuli and transmits and stores info, receives info from inside and outside body
Ligament vs tendon
Tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone
What is an organ?
An organ is a group of tissues that perform a specific function, they are made up of different types of tissues.
What is an organ system?
It consists of a group of organs that work together to cary out specific duties in the body
Organs in the digestive system and the functions
- The MOUTH contains glands that secrete mucus, saliva, and enzymes to start breaking down food (digestive starts in mouth)
- The TOUNGE moves food to back of throat
- The food travels past the PHARYNX through the ESOPHAGUS (tube that food goes through from peristalsis - rhythmic contractions that smooths muscles to STOMACH
- The EPIGLOTTIS is a flap attached to root of tongue and entrance to LARYNX (voice box), it flips between esophagus and trachea, depending on eating or breathing
- STOMACH churns food and mixes. with digestive juices and enzymes
- Nutrients move to SMALL INTESTINE, the nutrients are absorbed
- Waste/food moves to LARGE INTESTINE where water is absorbed
- Solid waste stored in rectum and exit anus
Not part of system but part of system:
- Liver secreates bile and breaks down fat
- Gallbladder stores bile
- Pancreas secreates its juice, insulin, and enzymes into intestine
What are arteries?
Thick-walled vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from heart to tissues
What are veins?
Carly deoxygenated blood back to heart, blood flowing through veins is at lower pressure than in arteries (has thinner walls), contains valves so blood does not flow backwards.
What are capillaries?
Connects veins and arteries, oxygen and carbon dioxide flow in and out of them by diffusion
Organs and functions in the excretory system?
- Blood flows through KIDNEYS, water removed by NEPHRONS
- Wastes form URINE
- Urine moves out of kidneys down the UTERUS and the URINARY BLADDER where stored until eliminated, through the URETHA
- Skin is also part of system as it excretes water, salts, and urea in sweat
Organs and functions in the respiratory system?
- During breath, air passes through NOSE/MOUTH
- Then through PHARYNX
- Past LARYNX (voice box)
- Into TRACHEA (tube ringed with cartilage)
- Into BRONCHI
- Into smaller BRONCHIOLES
- Then ALVEOLI (tiny air sacks - GAS EXCHANGE), which are surrounded with CAPILLARIES (thin-walled blood vessels)
- Into diaphragm at end
- CO2 is picked up from cells and travels fro blood stream across alveoli
- Oxygen travels from alveoli through capillaries into blood to cells in body
Function on skeletal system?
Skeletal system
- Contains bones and cartilage
- Supports and protects body
- Allows movement
Function on muscular system?
- Contains 3 types of muscle, tendons, and ligament’s
- Moves body
Female and Male reproductive system organs and functions?
Female
- Contains ovaries (stored eggs), Fallopian tubes (links to ovaries and uterus), uterus (where babies develop), and vagina (opening in females)
Male
- Contains testes (produce sperm), epididymis (stores sperm), vas deferens (connecting tube), urethra (travels through penis)
What is fertilization?
The process of combining the male gamete, or sperm, with the female gamete, or ovum.
Breathing and exhaling
When you inhale your rib cage rises, and your diaphragm contracts and moves downward, which increases your chest cavity (increase in volume of cavity causes decrease in internal air pressure)
Air rushes in your lungs to equalize pressure
When you exhale your ride cage lowers, diaphragm relaxes and moves up, decreasing size of chest cavity and increases the internal air pressure
