54-94 Flashcards
how do bacteria reproduce
binary fission (bacteria are prokaryotes)
how do bacteria adhere to a membrane
surface appendages allied pilli
five major WBC; most numerous and least numerous
neutrophils are the most, basophils are the least numerous : (neutrophils, basophils, monocyte, lymphocyte, eosinophil)
blastopore
the opening of the archenteron that can develop into a mouth or anus
morula
A morula is an embryo at an early stage of embryonic development, consisting of cells in a solid ball contained within the zona pellucida
blastocyst
structure in early development of mammals; has inner cell mass which subsequently forms the embryo
corpus lutem
yellow, hormone secreting body in the female reproductive system. temp endocrine structure in female mammals
oxygen in ponds and lakes
during the summer, the deeper waters are high in nutrients and the upper layers high in O2. in the fall and autumn the oxygenated water will turnover to the bottom and the nutrients will form at the top.
gastrointertestinal hormones that inhibits many functions
somatostatin- suppresses the release of gastrin, secretin and cholecystokin
three phases of the menstrual cycle
menstrual flow phase, proliferative phase, and secretory phase
when does menstruation begin?
with the disintegration of the endometrium ( the inner lining of the uterus)
Why does the endometrium thicken
in réponse to the estrogen levels during the proliferative phase and vascularization occurs.
what happens during the secretory phase
the endometrium continues to thicken, arteries enlarge, and glands grow in response to progesterone and estrogens.
ecological succession
involves an area in wi=hich communities replace each other in a predictable manner.
secondary succession
process started by an event (forest fire, hurricane) that reduces the established ecosystem.
primary succession
the gradual growth of an ecosystem over time
archegonia
structure that contains the female gamete in certain plants such as bryophytes
antheridia
where the male gametangia are located and represent the sperm producing structures
archenteron
the primitive guy that forms during gastrulation in the developing embryo
what’s the difference between cell-mediated immunity and humoral immunity
humoral acts against pathogens such as free viruses and bacteria and based on circulation of antibodies; CMI- works against pathogens that have entered body cells using T-Cells
diapedesis
when WBC adhere to and pass through the endothelium of the blood vessels (involves nuetrophils, leukocytes and cytokines)
which biome is below the tundra(located at the N pole)
taiga (snow forest) spines and spruces
multiple allele
if more than two forms of alleles exist for a gene locus
site of ribosome assembly
nucleoulous
