Q

What is circulatory adaption?

A

The regulation of blood flow near the body surfaces
Vasodilation: blood flow in skin increases, increasing heat loss

23
Q

Define bioenergetics

A

The overall flow and transformation of energy

24
Q

Define biosynthesis

A

Body growth
Repair
Storage of material, like fat

25
Q

Basal Metabolic Rate vs Standard Metabolic Rate

A

BMR- is the metabolic rate of an endothermic at a comfortable temperature
SMR-the metabolic rate of an ectotherm at rest at a specific temperature

26
Q

Torpor (2 kinds)

A

Physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases
Hibernation-winter
Estivation-summer

27
Q

4 Essential Nutrients

A

Essential amino acids
Essential fatty acids
Vitamins
Minerals

28
Q

Undernourishment vs malnourishment

A

Undernourishment: the result of a diet that supplies less chemical energy than what is needed
Malnourishment: long-term absence of one or more essential nutrients from the diet

29
Q

Effects of undernourishment and malnourishment

A

Undernourishment- use up stored fats and carbs, break down own proteins and lose muscle, protein deficiency, die
Malnourishment- deformities, disease, death

30
Q

Describe INGESTION

Know each

A

Act of eating

  1. Suspension feeders
  2. Substrate feeders
  3. Fluid feeders
  4. Bulk feeders
31
Q

Function of Parietal cells and chief cells

A

Parietal cells- secrete hydrogen and chloride ions separately
Chief cells-secrete inactive pepsinogen
-Together it makes gastric juice consisting of hydrochloric acid and activated enzyme, pepsin

32
Q

Where does the acid chyme mix with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, and gall bladder

A

DUODENUM-First part of the small intestine

33
Q

What enzymes does the pancreas produce?

A

Trypsin and chymotrypsin

34
Q

Function of insulin

A

Enhances the transport/uptake of glucose into cells and aids in storing it as glycogen, decreasing amounts in the blood

35
Q

What is the function of glucagon?

A

Promotes the break down of glycogen in the liver and release of glucose in blood, increasing the amount of glucose in the blood

36
Q

Arteries vs Veins

A

Arteries take blood away from the heart while veins take blood toward the heart

37
Q

Mayocardium

A

Heart muscle that contracts to push the blood through the body

38
Q

Cardiac cycle

A

The rhythmic cycle of the heart contracting and relaxing in a rhythmic cycle

39
Q

Systole vs diastole

A

Systole- contraction phase

Diastole- relaxation phase

40
Q

Rate of blood being pumped through body depends on 2 things

A 
Heart rate (pulse) = speed
Stroke Volume = resistance
41
Q

Function of the SA node

A

( aka pacemaker)

Sets the rate and timing of the cardiac muscle cell contract

42
Q

Sounds of normal and defective heart

A

“Lub-dup”
Lub-blood against AV valves
Dub-blood against semilunar valves

Heart murmur- black flow of blood through defective valves

43
Q

What makes up plasma?

A

Water
Ions
Proteins

44
Q

What makes up the cellular elements of blood?

A

Erythrocytes (RBC)
Leukocytes (WBC)
Platelets

45
Q

Regions of brain to control breathing

A

Medulla oblongata - breathing rate and depth

Pons - tempo.

46
Q

Partial pressure

A

The pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture of gasses

47
Q

Tidal volume

A

The volume of air inhaled with each breath

48
Q

Vital capacity

A

Maximum tidal volume

49
Q

Residual volume

A

After exhalation, the air that remains in the lungs

50
Q

Negative breathing pressure

A

Pulling air into the lungs

51
Q

Bohr Shift

A

CO2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O2

52
Q

respiratory pigments ( 2 kinds )

A

Proteins that transport oxygen and greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry

  • hemocyanin: copper to bind oxygen
  • hemoglobin: iron to bind oxygen
53
Q

Lymphoid stem cells vs myeloid stem cells

A

Lymphoid stem cells differentiate into B and T cells

Myeloid stem cells differentiate into leukocytes and erythrocytes and platelets

54
Q

Antherosclerosis

A

Build up of plaque deposits within arteries

55
Q

Heart attack

A

The death of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from blockage of one or more coronary arteries

56
Q

Stroke

A

The death of nervous tissues in the brain
