Q

stomach

A

part of the digestive system; enzymatic digestion of proteins begins, secretes pepsin which hydrolyzes peptide bonds in the 1 structure of proteins; secretes HCl to lower its own pH

25
peptide hormones
bind to cell-surface receptors and have a wide variety of effects on cell behavior
26
sensory neurons
carry messages from sense organs to the CNS; part of the peripheral nervous system
27
motor neurons
carry messages from the CNS to muscle fibers and glands; part of the peripheral nervous system
28
interneurons
part of the central nervous system; process information from sensory neurons and determine response for motor neurons.
29
sodium channels
ion channel that opens first in an action potential; voltage gated sodium channels open first
30
direction sodium ions move
diffuses into cell and depolarizes the membrane; inside of cell becomes positive.
31
Flow of Blood Heart
1. Unoxygenated blood from body returns to heart via vena cava. 2. Unoxygenated blood enters right atrium. 3. Unoxygenated blood enters right ventricle. 4. Unoxygenated blood pumped to lungs via pulmonary artery. 5. Gas diffusion within the lungs. 6. Oxygenated blood leaves lungs via pulmonary vein. 7. Oxygenated blood enters left atrium 8. Oxygenated blood enters left ventricle. 9. Oxygenated blood pumps out to body via aorta. 10. Gas exchange occurs in capillaries (brining O2 to cells and removing CO2 waste)
32
what two channels open during active potential
sodium first then potassium channels
33
what do the potassium channels do in action potential
restore local resting membrane potentials.
34
GnRH
positively regulates production of LH and FSH; released by the hypothalamus and stimulates the pituitary to make LH and FSH
35
roles of LH and FSH differs
Males: testosterone production Females: estrogen and progesterone production
36
mechanoreceptors
type of sensory cell responsible for the senses of touch and hearing; mechanical force; pressure for touch and vibrations for hearing
37
chemoreceptors
taste and smell; sense specific molecules
38
photoreceptors
sight; sense electromagnetic radiation - light
39
function of skin as part of our innate (non-specific) immunity
acts as a barrier; skin helps keep invaders or pathogens out of the body
40
functions of th lymphatic system
1. returns interstitial fluid to blood 2. transport digested fat from small intestine to blood 3. produce and transport immune cells
41
B-Cells (B lymphocytes)
type of immune cell is stimulated by vaccines to produce antibodies, inducing a long-lasting protective adaptive immunity; specific for the vaccines' antigen will produce protective antibodies and can become memory B cells; help the body respond more rapidly and effectively to that virus
42
Killer T Cells
attack and kill infected cells
43
helper T cells
activate the immune response
44
hydro skeleton
most flexible requires water requires less energy
45
endoskelton
support the most weight grows with animal made of living tissues
46
exoskeleton
best leverage for muscles most protective replaced periodically
47
adaptation to life on land that prevent the desiccation of gametes or of embryos
fertilization in water spermatophores internal fertilization amniotic eggs with shells placenta allowing internal embryonic development
48
Sarcomere
basic contractile unit of muscles
49
myosin
motor protein that uses ATP; thick
50
actin
structural protein that myosin pulls on; thin
51
cardiac muscles
not under voluntary control; heart
52
smooth muscles
not under voluntary control; walls of digestive tract and blood vessels
53
skeletal muscles
under voluntary control
54
tubular reabsorption and tubular secretion
both require atp and are a process during urine production in nephrons that requires active transport
55
tubular absorption
active transport of ions and nutrients back into blood.
56
tubular secretion
active transport of urea and other wastes into urine
57
filtration in glomerulus and osmosis
don't require active transport.
58
osmosis
mechanism transport water from inside the small intestine into the blood stream.
59
liver
bile acids are produced
60
gall bladder
bile acids are stored
61
small intestine
bile acids perform a digestive function
62
incomplete digestive system
a single opening used for both food intake and waste disposal
63
unoxygenated blood
flows into the lungs, gas exchange occurs, and oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream through the capillaries
64
oxygenated blood
travels through arteries, oxygen diffuses into body cells so they can carry out respiration
65
Gasses
transferred by diffusion, no active transport required
66
mouth
digestion begins with mechanical breakdown
67
salivary glands
several small accessory organs that secrete amylase along with other enzymes and helpful substances.
68
esophagus
muscular passage between mouth and stomach that moves food using peristalsis
69
pancreas
accessory organ that secretes the major digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to neutralize the acidic contents of the stomach.
70
stomach
muscular sack that produces acid and contributes to the mechanical breakdown of food
71
large intestine
where water, ions, and vitamin K are absorbed and wastes are eliminated.
