body systems, stem, homeostasis test 3 Flashcards
what is a stem cell
an undiffreintiated cell that can become specialized
what is a stem cell niche
an environment around the stem cell that protects it, grows it and keeps it form diffrenciating
what happens if a niche doesn’t function properly
the stem cell either dies or diffrentiates
what can a brain stem cell niche become
neurons or glial cells
what is a main place stem cells are fund
bone marrow
what cells come from the bone marrow
white blood cells, red blood cells, platelets
what cells come form a hair follicle cell niche
hair follicle cell, skin cell, oil gland cell,
what are embryonic stem cells
stem cells formed as a normal part of embryonic developpment
what cells can be made from embryonic stem cells
any body cell
how are IPS cells made
artificially by reprogramming a patients own cells
therapeutic cloning
transferring the nucleus (DNA) from a body cell to an unfertilized egg
what is cell diffrientation
a stem cell becoming specialized
what are the 11 body systems
respiratory, reproductive, nervous, circulatory/cardiovascular, excretory, integumentary, endocrine, muscular, skeletal, immune, digestive
function of the respiratory system
inhale oxygen and get rid of CO2
what pumps air in respiratory system
the lungs
main organs of the respiratory system
trachea, mouth, lungs, nose
function of the reproductive system
to produce gametes, fertiliztion and carrying child until childbirth
main female reproductive organs
cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries
main male reproductive organs
testes, penis, scrotum
what systems need to work together so that the mother can carry her child
reprodctive and endocrine
what is the function of the nervous system
to send and receive signals from the brain .
main components of the nervous system
neurons, spinal cord, hypothalamus, brain
function of the circulatory/ cardiovascular system
pump blood to transport oxygen, gases, hormones and heat round the body
main parts of circulatory/cardiovascular system
heart, blood vessels
what is the function of the excretory system
filtration and eliminatig LIQUID waste
does the excretory system eliminte solid waset
no thats digestive system
most important organ in the excretory system
kidneys
major structure in excretory system
bladder, urethra, kidneys
what is the function the integumentary
to protect the internal orgnas, and be a line of defense against infection
3 things that make up integumentary system
hair, skin, nail
