Bio 111 Lab Practical One Flashcards
Joint
location where bone meets bone
Cartilage
gel like material between bones (joints)
Ligaments
elastic fiber that connects bones at joints
Tendons
attach muscles to bones
Types of cells in bone
-Osteocytes
-Osteoblasts
-Osteoclasts
Osteoblasts
-build bone
-deposit calcium to harden to bone
-converts cartilage into bone
-slow down with age
Osteoclasts
-breakdown bone
-remain active through life
Three types of muscle
-Skeletal Muscle
-Smooth Muscle
-Cardiac Muscle
Skeletal Muscle
-muscle attached to the skeleton
-functions in movement of body
-voluntary
Smooth Muscle
-line walls of stomach and intestines
-involuntary movement
-peristalsis muscle movement
Cardiac Muscle
-muscle in heart
-involuntary
-contains lines of intercalated disks
Gametes
-sperm
-egg
-haploid cells (n=23)
unite to create diploid cell (2n=46)
Sperm Structure
-Head
-Midpiece
-Tail
Sperm Head
-contains nucleus
-23 chromosomes, including X or Y
-Surrounded by acrosome
Acrosome
contains digestive enzymes to digest outer surface of egg
Sperm Midpiece
-contains mitochondria
-provides ATP energy for sperm movement
Tail
-flagella
-allow movement
Parts of Ovum
-Corona Radiata (protects egg)
-Zona Pellucida (jelly coat)
-Cell membrane
-Vitelline Membrane
-Nucleus
-Cytoplasm
Zygote
fertilized egg
Four Stages of Sea Urchin Development
-Fertilization
-Cleavage
-Gastrulation
-Morphogenesis
Fertilization
-union of egg and sperm
-forms fertilized zygote
-produces fertilization envelope (halo around fertilized egg)
Cleavage
-rapid cell division w/out growth
-formation of morula, followed by blastula
Gastrulation
-rearranges cells of blastula into three tissue layered embryo (involution)
-embryo called the gastrula
-characterized by cell migration, not division
-gastrula made up of embryonic tissue layers: endoderm, ectoderm, mesoderm
Morphogenesis
-formation of body
-results in pluteus/larva
Acrosomal Reaction
-triggered when sperm contacts egg
-acrosome releases enzymes to digest outer egg covering
-acrosomal process proteins bind to vitelline layer receptors
-allows for species specific fertilization
Fusion
-fusion of plasma membrane of sperm and egg
-allows sperm nucleus to enter
Cortical reaction
-Nucleus pops cortical granules to release Calcium (Ca^+2)
-creates fertilization envelope (hardened outer coating)
Fertilization Envelope
-visible as halo around egg
-prevents polyspermy (multiple sperm entering egg)
Steps of Fertilization
-Contact
-Acrosomal Reaction
-Growth of acrosomal process
-Fusion
-Sperm nucleus entry
-Cortical reaction
Egg Activation
-rise in calcium increases rates of cellular respiration and protein synthesis
-sperm nucleus and egg nucleus join
-cell division begins 12-36 hrs after fertilization
Morula
-solid ball of cells formed during cleavage
Blastula
-forms from morula during cleavage
-hollow ball of cells
-empty space within called blastocoel
-made of two parts: trophoblast and inner cell mass
Three Basic Components of Cardiovascular System
-Blood
-Blood Vessels
-Heart
Three Types of Blood Vessels
-Arteries
-Veins
-Capillaries
Three Types of Blood Cells
-Erythrocytes
-Leukocytes
-Thrombocytes
Erythrocytes
-Red Blood Cells
-Transport Oxygen
-Contain hemoglobin
-no nucleus
-transports up to 4 O2
Hemoglobin
-iron containing protein
-made up of heme group, iron, and polypeptide molecule
-heme group binds iron, which binds oxygen
Leukocytes
-white blood cells
-function in defense
-phagocytosis (eating) of bacteria and viruses
-release perforins (poison) that kills bacteria
-housekeeping cells
Thrombocytes
-platelets; fragments that function in blood clotting
-forms clot to stop bleeding
-coagulation cascade converts inactive fibrinogen to fibrin through exposure to air
Blood stem cell
-come from blood from bone marrow
-become various other blood cells
Major Parts of the Circulatory System
-Capillaries
-Lungs
-Heart
-Vein
-Kidney
-Artery
