49
Q

What are the 4 types of tissue?

A
  1. Epithelial Tissue
  2. Connective Tissue
  3. Muscle Tissue
  4. Nervous Tissue
50
Q

What is Epithelial Tissue?

A

cells that are tightly packed to form a barrier. The barrier can be 1 cell thick or several layers thick. Ex. skin, glands, lining of organs

51
Q

What is Connective Tissue?

A

it joins tissues together and also forms blood as well as provides structure and support. Ex. ligaments, bones, blood

52
Q

What is Muscle Tissue?

A

it allows for movement. You have voluntary muscles that only work when you want them to (ex. skeletal muscles like biceps). You also have involuntary muscles that work all the time without you controlling them. Ex. smooth muscles (stomach), cardiac muscles (the heart) and the brain

53
Q

What is nervous tissue?

A

it transmits and stores information as well as respond to stimuli. Ex. brain cells, motor neurons

54
Q

Summarize the job of the Skin.

A

-it has 2 layers- the first one is the epidermis which is the outer protective layer and it makes vitaminD. The second layer is the dermis which is made of connective, nervous and muscle tissue. It is the inner layer and it secrets sweat, insulates and contains nerves. The skins function is to protect from damage, disease and dehydration, it regulates body temperature and it excretes wastes

55
Q

Summarize the Lungs.

A

They are made of connective and epithelial tissues and the lungs contain bronchus and bronchial tubes that lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli (a thin layer of epithelial tissue containing blood vessels). The lungs function is to carry out gas exchange and absorb oxygen into the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood

56
Q

Summarize the Heart

A

It is a 4 chambered muscular pump that is connected to major blood vessels. Its function is to pump oxygenated blood to the entire body and pumps deoxygenated blood back to the lungs to become oxygenated

57
Q

Summarize the function of the Stomach

A

It is made up of all 4 types of tissues and is a muscular sac containing digestive juices and enzymes. Its function is to break down food through muscular action and chemical digestion.

58
Q

What are the 2 types of stem cells?

A
  1. Embryonic Stem Cells

2. Adult Stem Cells

59
Q

Define: Embryonic Stem Cells

A

they are found in embryos and are able to undergo differentiation and can differentiate into other cell types

60
Q

Define: Adult Stem Cells

A

are highly specialized and are embryonic stem cells that have divided and become more specialized. Most of these cells are invloved in the replacement of damaged tissue and can regenerate from the cell of one organ into the cell of a different organ

61
Q

Why are Stem Cells important?

A

because some cells go through mitossi faster than others, so if we can use stem cells, we can replace damaged cells to help repair a damaged body faster

62
Q

What are the main parts of the circulatory system?

A
  • The heart- a very strong muscle that pumps blood throughout the entire human body
  • Arteries- carry oxygenated blood away from the heart
  • Veins- carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart
  • Capillaries- very small vessels (1 cells thick) where gas exchange occurs
63
Q

What happens in the Respiratory system?

A

2 things happen- breathing and gas exchange

  • when you breathe in, your diaphragm contracts and lowers, your rib cage elevates causing air to be sucked into the lungs
  • when you breathe out, your diaphragm relaxes and rises and your rib cage depresses causing air to be forced out of the lung
  • gas exchange occurs in the alveoli where oxygen coming into the lung is traded with carbon dioxide from the body
  • an enzyme called hemoglobin in red blood cells carries gases in the body
64
Q

What are the 4 functions of the digestive system?

A
  1. ingestion (taking in food)
  2. Digestion (breaking down food)
  3. absorption (absorbing nutrients into the blood stream)
  4. Egestion (eliminating wastes)
65
Q

What happens in ingestion?

A

food is passed from the mouth to the stomach through the esophagus. The esophagus does this by rhythmic muscle contractions called peristalsis

66
Q

What happens in digestion?

A

food is broken down physically by chewing in the mouth and it is broken down chemically in the mouth (with saliva), stomach (with stomach acid), and small intestine (by digestive juices released by the pancreas and gall bladder)

67
Q

What happens in absorption?

A

nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream through the walls of the small intestine. Water is absorbed through the large intestine

68
Q

What happens in egestion?

A

the waste (mostly fiber) is expelled from the rectum and anus

69
Q

What is the function of the brain?

A

to control body functions and coordinate responses and activities

70
Q

What is the function of the lungs?

A

bring oxygen into the body and gets rid of carbon dioxide

71
Q

What is the function of the skin?

A

to cover and protect the body

72
Q

What is the function of the kidneys?

A

remove waste from the blood and regulate water fluid levels

73
Q

What is the function of the liver?

A

to make bile and remove toxic substances from the body

74
Q

What are cancer cells?

A

Cancer cells are cells that have somehow become damaged and reproduce uncontrollably. The cancer cells can reproduce until they reach the blood stream where they can travel all over the body. Cancer cells are often smaller than normal cells.
