(53 cards)
Size from smallest to biggest
tissue, organ system, cell, organ, organism
cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
Tissue
A group of similar cells that work together to carry out a particular function (could include more than one type of cell)
Organ
A group of different tissues that work together to perform a certain function
Organ system
A group of organs working together to perform a specific funtion
organism
An indivdual plant, animal or single-celled organism
Enzymes
A catalyst
increase the speed of useful chemical reaction in the body
It’s shape will not change and it will not be used up
What are enzymes made of
They are large protein
Chains of amino acids
Name the area where substances blind into enzymes
Active site
(have a unique shape)
Conditions reqired for enzymes to do they best
Temperature (higher temp increase the rate, not too hot, optimum temp)
pH
if one of them is too higher or low and not inside the optimum temp pH, the shape at the active site will change and the enzymes will become denatures it)
Double circulatory system
Two circuits joined together (left and right ventricles)
Right ventricle
Pump deoxygenated blood to the lung to take in oxygen. The blood then returns to the heart
Left ventricle
Pumps oxygenated blood around all the others organs of the body. The blood give oxygen to the body cells and deoxygenated blood returns to the heart to be pumped out to the lungs again
Valves
Make sure the blood flows to the right direction. Prevent it from flowing backwards
Proteases
Convert proteins into amino acids
Lipases
Convert lipids into glycerol and fatty acids
Bile
Produced in liver
Stored in the gall bladder
Released into small intestine
Carbohydrates
Convert carbohydrates into simple sugars (amylase)
Parts of right side of the heart (deoxygenated blood) 4
Vena cava, right atrium, valve, right ventricle, valve, pulmonary artery (In order, this is how the blood went through the heart)
Parts of the left side of the heart 4 (in order) for oxygenated blood
Pulmonary vein, left atrium, valve, left ventricle, valve , aorta
Coronary artery
Artery supply oxygenated blood for the heart
Pacemaker
A group of cells in the right atrium wall, produce small electric impulse spread to surrounding muscle cells to make them contract
Arteries
Carry the blood away from the heart (high pressure blood), strong, elastic and thick walls by having elastic fibrous and thick layer of muscle
Capillaries
Involve in the exchange of materials at the tissues, thin and too small to see, very close to the cell, permeable wall and only one wall thick
Veins
Carry the blood to the heart (low pressure), larger lumen (middle hole), have valves to prevent the blood from flowing to the wrong direction
