Final Flashcards
1
Q
Heartworm
A
Roundworm
Dogs
2
Q
AMPA Receptor
A
Post. Cell
- Glutamate binds
- Increase gK and gNa
- Causes local current flow –> remove Mg blok from NMDA
3
Q
Tissues lining organs
A
from visceral mesoderm
4
Q
Leeches in Medicine
A
- Amputation of small body part
- Cannot repair venous supply… swelling and blood accumulation
- Use leech to remove excess fluid
5
Q
Castrate dog and treat with ground testis fluids
A
- Decrease FSH
6
Q
Pseudocoelomates
A
- Roundworms
- Technically have a closed cavity between the endo and mesoderms
- But is not surrounded by meoderm as we have come to expect from body cavities
- Only longitudinal muscle + cuticle
(Ascaris, hookworm, filarial worms, guinea worm, tichinosis)
7
Q
Neuroplasticity on the Postsynaptic Membrane
A
- Glutamate binds to post. cell
- First it binds to AMPA…. increase gNa and gK generating local current flow
- Local current flow removes the Mg block on the NMDA channel
- Glutamate and glycine bind to NMDA and increase gCa
- Ca creates calmodulin which sets up a phosphorylation cascade and causes protein function
8
Q
G-Protein Coupled Receptors
A
- Hormone binds to receptor
- Receptor stimulates G-protein
- G-protein turns on adenylate cyclase (AC)
- AC turns AMP –> cAMP
- cAMP binds to protein kinase which phosphorylates proteins #cascade
9
Q
Scolex
A
Mouth of a tapeworm
10
Q
Primary Consumers
A
- Eat producers
- Eaten by 2nd who eaten by 3rd (trophic level 4)
11
Q
Percent N2 in atmosphere
A
79%
12
Q
Luteal Phase
A
- Surge in LH from estrogen positive feedback
- Corpus lutem makes estrogen and porgesterone
- Progesterone does negative feedback on HPA…. keep FSH and LH low
13
Q
Filarial Worms - River Blindess
A
Roundworms
- Black fly is the intermediate
- Larvae get into human eye and mess with retina
14
Q
Hemicastrate
A
- Initial increase in FSH
- Other teste comenstes
- Eventually decrease in FSH and sperm production rises
Sperm secrete inhibin…. decrease FSH
15
Q
Blood Fluke
A
Flat Worm
- Mate in humans… we poop eggs
- Eggs get into water via snails
- Worm can swim and drill into human skin
16
Q
Bats and Cactus Flowers
A
Symbiotic
- Cactus flowers bloom at night… give nectar to bats
- Bats pollenate other flowers
17
Q
Elephantiasis
A
- Filarial Worm (roundworm)
- In lymph ducts
- Causes swelling/fluid accumulation
18
Q
Ascaris
A
- Pseudocoelomate
- Most common worm in humans
19
Q
Rice Paddies and Nitrogen
A
- Rice paddy farms have anavaena a nitrogen fixing bacteria
- Shares N with rice plants
20
Q
Mullerian Mimicry
A
- One species imitates a pattern that can diffuse apprehension
- Predators are wary of coloration in wasps and snakes
21
Q
Roundworms
A
- Only longitudinal muscle
- Thrash to move
- Secrete outer layer called a cuticle which is very elastic… PE helps with motion
22
Q
Reinnervation Experiments
A
- Type I cell.. remove type I axon and innervate with type II axon
- Cell is now type II
- Happens @ ACh receptor cite
23
Q
Commensal
A
One organism benefits and the other doesn’t mind
