Multicellularity, homeostasis, structure and function Flashcards
the 4 types of tissue
connective, epithelial, muscle, nervous
connective tissue
connects things, ex: fat, bone, cartilage
epithelial tissue
covers our body surfaces
muscle tissue
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
nervous tissue
specialized cells that conduct signals
what happens to the SA to volume ratio as animals get larger?
the ratio gets smaller
When is diffusion limiting (with SA vs V)
when the ratio is small (rate is the same but there are larger distances which makes diffusion less effective)
bulk transport
transporting materials through the different systems rather than diffusion (over longer distances)
homeostasis
process by which the body maintains a stable uniform internal state
what does homeostasis use?
negative feedback
negative feedback
stimulus –> sensor –> effector –> response repeats
