Chapter 40: Animal Form and Function Flashcards

1
Q

Which of the following statements correctly describes the differences between simple squamous cells and stratified squamous cells?

A

Simple squamous cells form a single layer, which is useful for gas exchange, and stratified squamous cells are multilayered and regenerate rapidly.

Q

Epithelial Tissue

A

Tissue that covers the body, lines the organs, and cavities within the body. Closely packed with tight junctions; act as a barrier against mechanical injury, pathogens, and fluid loss.

Q

Cuboidal Epithelium

A

Dice-shaped cells specialized for secretion. Mainly in the kidneys, thyroid, and salivary glands.

17
Q

Simple Columnar Epithelium

A

Large brick-shaped cells found in areas where there is a lot of secretion, such as the intestines.

18
Q

Simple Squamous Epithelium

A

Simple layer of platelike cells that exchange materials through diffusion. Found in blood vessels, air sacs, etc…

19
Q

Pseudostratified Columnar Epithelium

A

Cells with varying height that are found in the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract

20
Q

Adipose Tissue

A

loose connective tissue that stores fat in adipose cells.

21
Q

Cartilage

A

Contains collagenous fibers, found in disks and between bones as it is flexible.B

22
Q

Loose connective tissue

A

Mose widespread connective tissue in the body, as It binds epithelia to underlying tissue and holds organs together

23
Q

Fibrous connective tissue

A

Dense with collagenous fibers, found in tendons that connect muscle to bone; Also found in ligaments which are bone-to-join

24
Q

Skeletal Muscle

A

Attached to bones by tendons, striated muscle is responsible for voluntary movement.

25
Smooth Muscle
Lacks striations and is found in the walls of the digestive, urinary, and arteries. Responsible for involuntary muscle movements.
26
Cardiac Muscle
Forms the contractile walls of the heart. It is striated and has branched fibers that interconnect to relay signals.
27
Regulators
Animals in which mechanisms of homeostasis moderate internal change
28
Conformers
Animals in which internal conditions conform to the envrionment
29
Acclimization
The physiological change based on a changing envrionment
30
What are four ways heat is exchanged between organisms
1. Radiation 2. Evaporation 3. Convection 4. Conduction
31
Integumentary system functions
Help regulate temperature and involved in thermoregulation
32
Metabolic Rate
Sum of all energy used in a given time interval
33
Basal Metabolic Rate
Rate of resting, fasting, and nonstressed endotherms at a comfy temp
34
Standard Metabolic Rate
MBR but at a non comfy temp
35
Larger animals have _____ BMR
Higher.
36
Topor
Physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases
