if Hb is bonded to CO
carboxyhemoglobin
if CO2 is bonded to Hb
carbaminohemoglobin
2,3-BPG
present in RBC that helps to unload O2 from hemoglobin
which two veins carry oxygenated blood
pulmonary and umbilical
ductus venosus allows
blood to bypass the liver
foramen ovale
allows blood to bypass the pulmonary circulation
ductus arteriosus
conducts some blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, thus bypassing the lungs
parts of the autonomic nervous system
sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic nervous system
allows you to respond to stress; increased heart rate, BP, pupil dilation, decrease in BF to the kidneys and digestive organs
parasympathetic system
digestion and eliminaiton occur
cerebellum
part of the brain involved with muscle coordination, balance and equilibrium
what divides the brains hemispheres
corpus callosum ; allows th right and left of the brain to communicate
CNS
brain, spinal cord
peripheral nervous system
somatic and autonomic—-all of the nervous system that isn’t in the CNS, nerves and ganglia
auxins
plant growth hormones
abscisic acid
inhibits growth
cytokines
stimulate cell division
where does bone growth occur
epuphyseal plates of long bones
connects bone to bone
ligaments
axial skeleton includes
skill, vertebra and ribs
appendicular skeleton includes
bond of arms and legs and bones of the pelvc and pectoral girdle
connects bone to muscle
tendons
haversian systmes
compact bone structural units ; blood vessels and nerves pass thorugh the harvesian canals
stored in the liver
glycogen
true about liver
albumin synthesis, bile production, destruction of worn out RBC, converts nitrogenous wast into urea, glycogen storage
convergent evolution
analogous structures ; two closely related species have resemblance
transpiration
H2O loss by evaporation from leaves
hydrolusis
involves the use of H2O to split a molecule
