25
Tissues
```
Cells organized in to groups.
4 basic tissue types
-Epithelial
-Connective
-Muscular
-Nervous
```
26
Epithelial Tissue
```

-Squamous (flattened cells)
-Cuboidal (cube shaped cells)
-Columnar (elongated cells)
Keep in mind they can be stratified!
```
27

Functions in protection, secretion, and absorption
29
Columnar Epithelium
Consists of elongated cells
Functions in protection, secretion, and absorption
In lining of intestine and uterus

```
31

32
Possible test questions

| Pick one of the control systems, tell the organs in them and cavity it is found in.
33
Connective Tissue
Binds and supports body parts
| Matrix
34
Nervous Tissue
Receives stimuli and conducts nerve impulses
35
Skeletal muscle
Has striated cells with multiple nuclei
Occurs in muscles attached to the skeleton
Functions in VOLUNTARY movement of the body
36
Smooth Muscle
Has spindle-shape cells, each with a single nucleus (no striations)
Functions in movement of substances in lumens of body (is involuntary)
37
Cardiac muscle
Has branching striated cells, each with single nucleus
Occurs in the wall of the heart
Functions in pumping blood
Is involuntary
38
Blood *
Is a connective tissue in which the matrix is plasma (55%)
Red blood cells (45%), white blood cells (less then 1%) and platelets
Transports nutrients, carries oxygen to cells and removes waste, distributes heat, and maintains balance of ions, fluid, and pH
39
Anterior
In front of
40
Homeostatis
The condition in which the body's internal environment remains relatively constant; internal conditions stay within a normal rnage
41
Three important conditions for chemical reactions to occur and sustain homeostasis in the body
1. Proper concentrations of gases, nutrients, water, and salts.
Oxygen (cellular respiration/produces energy for the body)
Carbon dioxide (waste product)
Nutrients (raw materials for chemical reactions)
Water & salts (important in the fluid and electrolyte balance)
2. Optimum temperature (37C)
3. Optimum pressure (blood pressure, concentrations of substances in the body, rates at which substances move through the body)
42
Oxygen
- vital role in the breathing process
- source of energy
- benefits the immune system
- used for protein construction & muscle contraction
43
Carbon
Building block for most cells (its can form many kinds of essential compounds)
Helps with cellular respiration
Forms proteins, carbs, and fats
44
Hydrogen
Crucial role in energy production (mitochondria uses hydrogen to create ATP)
Used for cell hydration
Water regulation
Acid/base balance
Toxins and wastes can be eliminated from the body
Nutrients are able to be transported to the cells
45
Nitrogen
Backbone to proteins
Makes proteins in your muscles, skin, blood, hair, nails and DNA
Growth, cell replacement and tissue repair
All cells require nitrogen for the production of new cells
46
Homeostasis (steps)
```
Problem- Stimulus (change of internal conditions)
Sensory Receptors (detects a change in the internal environment)
Control Centre Mechanism (respond to stimulus)
Effector (feedback and return to normal)
Compensation or adjustment
```
47
Difference between positive and negative feedback
Negative feedback- change given (the effect) is opposite the stimulus
Positive feedback- change given (the effect) is in the same direction as the stimulus
48
Digestive System
```
Functions
Ingest food
Digest food
Absorb nutrients
Eliminate waste
Organs
Mouth
Esophagus
Stomach
Small & large intestine
```
49
Circulatory (Cardiovascular) System
-transport blood, nutrients, gases + wastes
-defend against disease
-helps control temperature, fluid, and pH balance
Organs
Heart, blood, blood vessels (arteries, veins, and capillaries)
50
Endocrine System Functions
```
Produces & Secrete hormones
These chemical substances help regulate the activity of cells/organs, which help contribute to homeostasis
Responds to stress
Helps regulate fluid and pH balance
Helps regulate metabolism
```
51
Endocrine System Parts
```
A) Pineal gland
B) Pituitary gland
C) Testis
D) hypothalamus
E) Thyroid gland
F) Parathyroid gland
G) Thymus
H) Adrenal glands
I) Pancreas
J) Ovary
```
52
Respiratory system
Maintains breathing
Exchanges gases at lungs + tissues
Helps control pH balance
Organs
Lungs, airways
53
Nervous System
Receives sensory input & initiates motor output
Brain, spinal cord, nerves
54
Urinary System
Excretion of metabolic wastes
Helps control fluid balance
Helps control pH balance
Kidneys, the urinary bladder, and tubes that carry urine
55
Reproductive System
Produces & transports gametes
Produces sex hormone
Nurtures and gives birth to offspring (females)
Penis, ovaries, vagina, testes, genitals
56
Negative Feedback Example
Problem: Hypothermia
Receptors: temperature receptors in skin and hypothalamus
Control Centre: thermoregulatory centre in brain
Effectors: sweat glands in skin increase secretion. Blood vessels in skin dilate
Adjustment: Decreased heat loss, body temperature increases
57
Positive Feedback Example
Problem: Shock/ Extreme blood loss
Receptors: Blood pressure drops, sensed by stretch receptors in blood vessels
Control Centre: vasomotor hypothalamus
Effect: vasoconstriction decreases
Reinforcement: Blood pressure further decreases
58
Extracellular Fluid
Fluid outside the cell
| About 1/3 of fluids found in the body are extracellular
59
Intracellular Fluid
Fluid found inside the cell
| Cytoplasm
60
Active Transport
Exchange of materials between extracellular fluid and intracellular fluid
Receive nutrients, have materials taken away from them, and exchange gases
61
Interstitial fluid
Fluid in the tissues between the cells and blood vessels
62
Common Themes (Molecules of Cells)
Energy (ATP) (Hydrogen, phosphate)
Water regulation (Hydrogen, Chlorine)
