Q

What are exocrine glands? examples?

A

connected to the epithelium by a duct, which empties their secretion at the

25
What is fibronectin?
type of glycoprotein that aids in attachment of cells to ECM and helps hold cells in position
26
Where might elastin fibers be found?
skin and lungs
27
What is resilin?
protein found in insects and some crustaceans and is the most elastic material known
28
What are the 6 types of connective tissues?
loose connective tissue, fibrous connective tissue, cartilage, bone, adipose tissue, and blood
29
What are the 3 types of muscle tissue that vertebrates have?
skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
30
What type proteins control muscle contractions?
actin and myosin
31
What are glial cells?
physically support and provide nutrients to neurons, provide electrical insulation between them, and scavenge cellular debris and foreign matter
32
What is the structure of a neuron?
cell body, dendrites (receive signals), | axons (send signals)
33
How many major organ systems do all vertebrates have?
11
34
How do cells receive nutrients and O2?
Extracellular fluid (ECF)
35
What is the ECF made of?
plasma (fluid portion of blood) and interstitial fluid (surrounds cells)
36
What direction does waste move?
opposite direction
37
Is homeostasis a dynamic or static process?
dynamic
38
What are the 8 factors of the internal environment?
1) Nutrient concentration 2) Concentration of O2 3) Concentration of CO2 4) Concentration of waste chemicals 5) Concentration of water and NaCl 6) pH 7) Volume and pressure of plasma 8) Temperature (of warm-blooded animals)
39
What is the difference between local and systemic homeostatic controls?
local homeostatic controls occur within an organ vs systemic which controls the target organ outside of that organ (endocrine and nervous system)
40
What is the difference between regulators and conformers?
regulators maintain a constant internal environments while conforms match their internal environments to their external environments.
41
What are the steps in negative feedback control?
stimulus, sensor, integrator, effector(s), compensatory response, environmental condition returned to set point
42
How and what type of feedback do mammals use to control temperature?
they use negative feedback mechanisms. If blood temperature falls, the hypothalamus activates effectors that constrict blood vessels, reducing heat loss from the skin – other effectors induce shivering to generate heat (visa-versa)
43
What is positive feedback?
adds to the changes, does not result in homestasis
44
What are biorhythms?
regulated factors change in predictable and cycling patterns like circadian rhythm
45
What is the difference between acclimatization and acclimation?
acclimation is when set point changes artificially in a laboratory setting versus acclimatization is when the set point changes because of a change in environmental conditions
46
What is the difference between acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation?
acclimatization is temporary changes to a single organism versus evolutionary adaptation is genetic change over many generations
47
What is loose connective tissue?
sparsely distributed fibroblasts surrounded by loose collagen and elastin fibers forming a glycoprotein matrix
48
What is dense connective tissue?
sparsely distributed fibroblasts surrounded by dense collagen and elastin fibers forming a glycoprotein matrix
49
What is cartilage?
sparsely distributed chondrocytes (cartilage-producing cells) surrounded by collagen fibers, elastic matrix of glycoprotein, chondroitin sulfate, precursor to bone, no blood supply
50
What is bone?
osteocyte cells in ECM if collagen fibers harden by mineral deposits---hydroxyapatite
51
What is adipose tissue?
densely clustered adipocytes, little ECM
52
What is blood?
erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, plasma
53
What is skeletal musle?
arranged in parallel units, contraction occurs in one direction along the fibers. cells are long, cylindrical, and striated
54
What is cardiac muscle?
found in the heart, stabilized by anchoring and gap junctions, short and branched cylindrical striated cells. intercalated disk is what is between two cells
55
What is smooth muscle?
small spindle-shaped contractile cells. Current goes through gap junctions making a muscle contract as a unit
56
What are reticular fibers?
thin collagen fibers crosslinked to form a network that helps support certain tissues such as the liver
57
What would happen if the concentration of CO2 became too high?
ECF would become acidic
58
Most cuboidal epithelium is simple or stratified?
simple
59
Most columnar epithelium is simple or stratified?
stratified
60
Describe simple squamous epithelium? common locations? function?
layer of flatten cells, found in blood vessel walls, air sacs of lungs, role is to diffuse
61
Describe stratified squamous epithelium? common locations? function?
several layers of flatten cells, found in skin, mouth, esophagus, vagina----surfaces subject to abrasion function=protection
62
Describe cuboidal epithelium? common locations? function?
layer of cubelike cells which may have microvilli on apical surface, found in glands function= secretion and absorption
63
Describe columnar epithelium? common locations? function?
layer of tall slender cells which may have microvilli on apical surface, found in gut and respiratory tract function= secretion and absorption
64
What are mesenteries?
sheets of loose connective tissue that hold abdominal organs in place and prevent abrasion
65
What is an osteon?
structural unit of bone, central canal surrounded by osteocytes embedded in concentric layer of mineral matter
66
What is the difference between tendons and ligament?
ligament connects bone to bone while tendons connect bone to muscle
67
Connective tissue may contain which of the following components?
collagen, intercellular substance, fibroblasts, macrogphages
