41
Flamingo is a _____ feeder
Filter
42
Lizards eat _____ only
Insects
43
4 stages of food processing
Ingestion Digestion Absorption Elimination
44
Ingestion
Act of eating
45
Digestion
Breaking down large molecules into small ones. | Small molecules=monomers that are absorbable by body
46
Proteins--> Polysaccharides--> Nucleic acids--> Fat-->
Amino acids Monomers Nucleotides Glycerol+fatty acids
47
1st step of digestion
Chewing-many organisms | Birds-gizzard
48
Enzymatic hydrolysis
Addition of water to break down amino acid bonds
49
Absorption
Monomers move from digestive tract -->bloodstream
50
Elimination
Voiding of I digested material
51
Small intestine-first 25 cm=___ | Absorption____
Duedem (breakdown) | Jejunum, ilium
52
Mammalian digestive systems
``` Oral cavity Stomach Small int. Pancreas Large int. ```
53
Oral cavity-begins...
Begins physical and chemical digestion Amylase-glycoprotein Saliva-includes mucin Tongue-forms bolus, initiates swallowing
54
Trachea--> | Esophagus-->
Lungs | Stomach
55
Stomach
``` Stores food, initiates major digestion Lined by granular epithelium Churns 2-4x/min Breaks up plant/animal tissue Begins enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins ```
56
HCl+pepsinogen-->pepsin
Breaks up peptide bonds
57
Small int.
6 m long, surface area of tennis court Site of most enzymatic hydrolysis and nutrient absorption 80% of food goes for nutrients
58
Pancreas
Exocrine, digest-bicarbonate | Endocrine
59
Large int.
Cecum-pouch @LI-SI junction Appendix-finger like projection from cecum. Main function water absorption Ecoli-bacteria in LI
60
Invertebrates-gastrovascular cavity or ____
Open circulatory
61
Vertebrates-cardiovascular system
Heart-1 or 2 atria Pump: atrium -receive blood returning to heart, thin walled 1 or 2 ventricles pump blood away from heart Arteries-take blood away from heart Veins
62
Cardiac cycle
Pumps blood, when relaxed-fills w blood Contraction phase-systole Relaxation-diastole
63

21
75
gill as respiratory structures
aquatic organisms, ventilate RM over RS
76
Osmoregulation-water balance and waste disposal
management of body water + solute connected process-waste disposal -esp nitrogenous wastes
77
Ammonia Urea Uric Acid toxic to less toxic
Ammonia-->urea-->uric acid
78
Osmoconformer
body solute=surrounding medium | marine hagfish, invertabrates
79

body solute diff. from surrounding medium | live in hypoosmotic or hyperosmotic env.
80
Osmolarity indicates ___ in solution
solute concentration
81
Only arthopods and vertebrates have colonized __
land
82
Adaptations for minimizing water loss on land
waxy insect exoskeleton snail shells nocturnal behavior
83
Vertebrate kidney
complex organ that produces urine that is hyperosmotic to body fluids
84
1100-2000L of blood pass through kidneys each day.
almost all sugars, vitamins, other nutrients reabsorbed. 1.5L urine each day
85
Pancreas (dual organ) not under control of
hypothalamus/pituitary. 1-2% cells by weight are endocrine (secrete hormones), remainder are exocrine.
86
islets of Langerians-(endocrine cells)
contain alpha cell-synth/secrete glucagon | beta cells-synt/release insulin
87
diabetes mellitos-glucose homeostasis inbalanced
2 causes-type I-inadequate insulin production type II-loss of insulin response by target tissues either way-high blood sugar
88
Childhood onset-type I diabetes
autoimmune disorder-immune system attacks beta cells-inadequate insulin production
89
Adult onset Type II diabetes
loss of receptor sensitivity in cell membrane of target cells. risk factor-inactivity (obesity)
90
Gonadal Sex hormones
effect growth/development (gender specific) regulate reproductive cycles, sexual behavior Testes, ovaries
91
Gonads synt/secrete 3 types of steroids
androgens estrogens progestins
92
Testes main androgen
testosterone-1st role-determine sex | 2nd-@puberty, conc. increased, develop secondary sex characteristics
93
Ovaries-main estrogen
Estradiol
94
Ovary-main progestin
Progesterone
95
Modes of asexual reproduction
Fission Gemmules Fragmentation
96

Separation of 1 individual into 2 complete offspring (equal size). May separate or remain attached. Eg: corals
97
Gemmules
