physiology
biological functions
what do physical laws govern
strength, diffusion, movement, heat exchange
what do properties of water limit
possible shapes for fast swimming animals
as animals increase in size, what is required?
thicker skeletons for support
how are nutrients, waste products, and gases exchanged
across the cell membranes
rate of exchange is proportional to what
cell’s surface area
amount of exchange material is proportional to what
cell’s volume
what does a single-celled organism have sufficient surface area for?
all necessary exchange
what do multicellular organisms with a sac-like body plan have?
body walls tat are only 2 cells thick, facilitating diffusion of materials
what are most cells in contact with in tapeworms?
the environment
space between cells
filled with interstitial fluid
interstitial fluid
links exchange surfaces to body cells
what does a complex body plan do
helps animal living in variable environment to maintain stable internal environment
inter
between
hierarchy of organization of body plants
atom, molecule, macromolecule, organelle, cell, tissue, organ, organ system, organism
4 types of animal tissues
- epithelial
- connective
- muscular
- nervous
where is epithelial tissue found
- covers outside of body
- lines organs and body cavities
cells in epithelial tissue
contains cells that are closely joined
types of epithelial tissue
- stratified squamous
- pseudostratified columnar
- simple squamous
- simple columnar
- cuboidal
connective tissue function
binds and supports other tissues
connective tissue cells
- sparsely packed cells scattered in extracellular matrix
- matrix consists of liquid, jellylike, solid foundation
3 types of connective tissue fibers
- collagenous fibers
- reticular fibers
- elastic fibers
collagenous fibers
provide strength flexibility
