(119 cards)
1
Q
What are animals?
A
Multicellular, heterotrophicm, eukaryotes with tissues that develop from embryonic layers
2
Q
How do animals differ from plants or fungi?
A
Nutritional mode: Animals cannot construct their own organic molecules so injest them (eating).
Animals lack cell walls. Animals are abundant in collagen
3
Q
Cleavage
A
A series of mitotic divisions where the volume of the egg cytoplasm is divided into numerous smaller, nucleated cells.
4
Q
Blastula
A
A hallow sphere of cells (blasotmeres) created via repeated cleavage during the development of a fertilized egg.
5
Q
Gastrulation
A
The process where a gastrula forms from a blastula. The cells start to form on the inside of the embryo.
*3 weeks into human development
6
Q
Reproduction steps in animals
A
1) Haploid egg and haploid sperm form to create a diploid zygote.
2) Diploid zygote undergoes process called “cleavage” which leads to a “blastula” a hollow multicellular sphere.
3) Gastrulation follows when an infolding happens on the blastula.
4) boom bam an animal is formed
7
Q
What are the 4 things to look for to determine if something is an Animal?

intracellulary.
beating flagella moves currents of water in through pores and out through the osculum.
suspended within the water are food particles, they move through the collar of choanocytes.
food particles get ingulfed via phagocytosis and travel down the choanocyte to the other end where amoebocytes can distribute them to cells that need the food within the sponge.
69

absorbtion,
elimination
*lined with epithelial cells,

vicous substance made of water salt and glycoprotiens. It lubricates food and protects lining of the mouth. also includes salivary amylase which breaks down large starch molecules and turns it into simple sugar molecules.
71
what pushes food down intothe stomach.
involuntary smooth muscle contractions called peristalsis
72
how many layers of smooth muscledoes the stomach have and why?
3 layers. all overlapping in different directions.
peristalsis continues as "rythmic involuntary contractions" and the stomach churns the bolus in a bath of hydrochloric acid.
73
Which epithelial tissue lines the interior of the stomach and why?
Simple columnar epithelium.
within the cells are pits called gastric glands. (secrete substances via ducts into the stomach to further chemical digestion)
mucous cells (within the glands) secrete mucous to protect the epithelial cells.
Cheif cells within the glands too.
Parietal cells are in the glands aswell (they are the source of the hydrogen and chloride for the stomach acid)
74
What do cheif cells do?
Found in the glands of the stomach. Secrete pepsinogen. with the drop in the stomach pH the pepsiongen turns into Pepsin (active enzyme that turns protiens into smaller polypeptides.)

86
What is bulk flow?
The movement of fluid from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.
The pressure gradient is established by an external mode of force.
(eg) pressure exerted on the fluid in a syringe is generated by the muscle work in the fingers. the pressure would cause the fluid to exit the syringe, without it the fluid would stay inside the syringe
87
Do nematodes have a circulatory system?
nope.
88
What are the two main groups that have open circulatory systems?
Arthropods (insects, lobsters, crabs)
Molluscs (mussels, clams)
89
How do open circulatory systems work?
A fluid, called hemolymph, flows through open-ended vessels and the tiny hearts generate the pressure gradient.
When the hearts contract, the pressure inside the vessels increases and the fluid is pushed out and into sinuses within the body.
As the heart relaxes, the pressure in the vessels drops and the hemolymph is pulled back in through pores equipped with oneway valves. The contracting hearts therefore keep the fluid in motion, constantly washing over internal organs.
90
how does a closed circulatory system work?
BLood is the fluid. Confined within vessels.
Hearts make pressure gradient to obtain blood flow.
(eg) Cephalopods, annilids, veribrates in cordate phylum
91

Aorta
Arteries
Arterioles
Capillaries
Venules
Veins

92
What is systolic pressure?
The pressure of blood against the artery walls when the heart has jsut finished contracting.
*120 mm Hg (mercury)
93
What is diastolic pressure?
it measures the pressure your blood is pushing against your artery walls while the heart muscle rests between beats.
*80 mm Hg (mercury)
Caused by the elastic recoiling of the arteries.
94
What is "friction" in terms of ther cardiovascular system?
Peripheral resistance.
As the arteries constrict, the resistance increases and as they dilate, resistance decreases.
95
What is the no slip condition?
When a fluid flows over a solid the flow felocity of the fluid at the surface of the solid is 0. thin sheet of fluid that is not moving.
96
What is the gradient region?
the region before the maximum flow of fluid. the more viscous the fluid the thicker the gradient region.
97
What do precapillary sphincters do?
control blood flow to capillary beds, ensuring that only 5-10% of the bodies blood capillaries recieve blood at any given time.
98
What happens when precapillary sphincters contract?
The blood goes directly to the venule and bybasses the capillary bed.
99
How does blood make its way back to the heart?
Smooth muscle around veins. Contracting Skeletal muscle.
One way valves in the veins to prevent back flow.
100

Measures the rate of diffusion of molecules across a barrier.
the movement (flux) of mass (molecules) due to diffusion is based on the concentration of the substances and the area that the substance has to pass through.
109
What is surfactant?
a complex mixture of specific lipids, proteins and carbohydrates, which is produced in the lungs by type II alveolar epithelial cells.
lowering surface tension at the air–liquid interface and thus preventing alveolar collapse at end-expiration.
