Bio lab 103 Flashcards
heart
the pump in the cardiovascular system
blood vessels
a network of pipes in the cardiovascular system
pericardium
a double-layered protective sac the surrounds the heart
arteries
a basic type of blood vessel that carry blood away from the heart
veins
a basic type of blood vessel that carries the blood towards the heart
capillaries
basic type of blood vessels, between arteries and veins, the smallest type of blood vessel
arterioles
arteries that have branched into smaller vessels
capillary beds
get blood delivered by arterioles, composed of a network of the smallest blood vessel (capillaries) and are the site of substance exchange between he blood and interstitial fluid
venules
blod drains from the capillary beds into the smalls veins
right atrium
on the left side of the picture, top chamber
right ventricle
the v-shaped chamber on the bottom left side of the picture
left atrium
the chamber on the top on the right side of the picture
left ventricle
the v-shaped chamber on the bottom right side of the picture…more muscular side of the heart (more muscular ventricle)
cusps
strong fibrous tissue flaps that form the four valves inside the heart
atrioventricular (AV) valves
located between an atrium and ventricle (bicuspid/mitral on the left side of the heart/right side of picture and tricuspid on the right side of the heart and the left side of the picture)
semilunar valves
(the pulmonary valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) (the aortic valve between the eft ventricle and the aortic arch) located between a ventricle and a great vessel
pulmonary circuit
the right side of the heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs for oxygenation and then back to the left side of the heart
systemic circuit
the left side of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the organs, tissues, cells of the body and then back to the right side of the heart
heart murmur
occurs when a valve doesn’t completely close, allowing a small amount of blood to return to the previous area
diastole
a relaxation phase during which the heart chambers fill with blood
systole
a contraction phase during which the heart ejects blood
pulse
as the surge of blood that has been ejected front he heart moves through the blood vessels, it can be palpated in the arteries that are reasonably close to the surface of the body
blood pressure
the pressure exerted by blood against the walls of the blood vessels
systolic pressure
the higher number, produced as ventricles contract to eject a fresh bolus of blood into the major arteries
diastolic pressure
the lower number, the blood pressure when ventricle relax
sphygmomanometer
a blood pressure cuff machine, measures (mm Hg)
coronary
“heart” related
flow of blood
from body to vena cava, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonic valve, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, left atrium, bicuspid valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, aortic arch, aorta, body [pulmonary artery carries deoxygenated blood away from heart, pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood to the heart]
Algae
a generic term to describe a number of different plant-like protists
characteristics that algal group characteristics have been based on
pigments, cell wall, chemistry, food storage compounds, and presence or absence of flagella
hold fast
the root-like structure of brown and red algae, only function if to hold the organism in place
stipe
the stem-like structure of brown and red algae that only supports the organism
blades
the leaf-like structures of red and brown algae
bacteria
a domain, contains the subgroup cyanobacteria (a prokaryotic organism)
filamentous
thread-like form
heterotrophic
feeding on organic matter that originated from other organisms
Fungi
an entire kingdom, related most closely to animals, evolved separately from plants
decomposers
feeds on organic matter
parasitic
feeding on living organic matter
saprobic
feeding on dead organic matter
hypha
a tubular, threadlike filament of a fungus
mycelium
a mass of hyphae
fruiting body
reproductive structure which bears sexually produced spores (a large fruiting bod = basidiocarp)
asexually reproduction
produces haploid spores through mitotic divisions at the tips of erect hyphae
sexual reproduction
usually results in the production of a larger fruiting body (basidiocarp), which bears club-shaped cells
basidia
the club shaped cells found from the basidiocarp
basidiospores
the sexually produced spores on the surface of the basidia
asci
sacs in which sexually produced spores are found in the fruiting body
ascospores
haploid spores from meiosis occurring in the ascus
alternation of generations
produce haploid spore instead of gametes as a result of meiosis
