Anatomy Flashcards
anatomy
study of the biological form of organism
physiology
study of bio functions an organism performs
things that are regulated
membrane permeability osmosis and diffusion solute regulation metabolic fuel use and distribution physiological systems neural and endocrine control
surfance are
branching
folding
forming multiple unites increases the productivity of the process
hierarchical organization
tissues, organ
emergent property
tissue
epithelial- covers organs
connective- supports organs
muscle -contractile
nervous- conducts electrical signals
epithelial tissue
covers the outside of the bosy and lines the organs and cavities within the body. It contains cells that are
cuboidal - dice
columnar- like on end
arrangement-simple, stratified, of pseudostratified
connective tissue
binds and supports other tissues
liguid or jelly like
muscle tissue
consits of long cells called muscle fibers that contract in response to nerve signals
skeletal -voluntary movement
smooth -involuntary body activities
cardiac- contraction of heart
nervous tissue
senses stiluli and transmits signals throughout the animal
neurons and glial cells
internal management
regulator: moderate internal change
conformer: internal condition vary with certain external changes
acclimatization
homeostasis adjust to changes in external environment
thermoregulation
animals maintain an internal temp within a tolerable rage
endothermic/ectothermic
- generate heat by metabolism mammals, birds and endotherms ( more expensive )
- -gain heat from external sources
poikilotherm/homeotherm
- varies with its environment
- relatively constant
