Body Systems Continued Flashcards
decreases blood flow which limits heat loss
vasoconstriction
blank animals have higher metabolism to keep warm
smaller
blank animals have lower metabolic rates to retain heat better
large
tissue that forms the outer protective covering of a plant organ
dermal tissue
fills the interior of a plant organ; photosynthesizes and stores the products of photosynthesis
ground tissue
tissue that transports water and sugar, the product of photosynthesis, in a plant and provides support
vascular tissue
root xylem and phloem are in a ring in the root of a blank
monocot
the root phloem is between the arms of xylem in roots of blank
eudicots
the vascular bundles are scattered in the stems of blank
monocots
the vascular bundles are in a distinct ring in blank
eudicots
a carrot is an example of a blank
taproot
the growth between terminal bud scars is called a blank
twig
use of energy metabolism to produce heat
thermogenesis
thermoregulation is controlled by the blank
hypothalamus
blank is used by us to keep us warm when cold
shivering
in the hypothalamus there is a blank center that kicks in when the body temp increases
heat losing
in the hypothalamus there is a blank center that kicks in when the body temp decreases
heat promoting
these cause a rise in temperature in the body and produce a fever
pyrogens
a state of dormancy of the body and an extreme case is blank
torpor, hibernation
three groups of heteretrophs
herbivores, omnivores, carnivores
eats hard animals
durophagous
substances that an animal cannot manufacture for itself but are necessary for health
essential nutrients
four essential nutrients
vitamins, amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, minerals
specialization occurs when the digestive tract has a separate blank and blank
mouth, anus
function is absorption in digestive system
small intestine
function is to concentrate wastes in digestive system
large intestine
function is waste storage and elimination in digestive system
cloaca
four accessory organs of digestive system
salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
pancreas makes this which stops acid from stomach from breaking down the intestines
bicarbonate buffer
four layers of gi tracts
mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, serosa
interior lining of the interior of mucosa
lumen
most inside layer of gi tract
mucosa
outside mucosa layer
submucosa
outside of submucosa layer
muscularis
outside of muscularis
serosa
outer layer that produces sirrus fluid which lubricates innards so they don’t twist
serosa
chewing is also called
mastication
teeth are adapted depending on the blank source
nutritional
how birds break up food
two chambered stomach
