Autonomic Nervous System
26
conveys impulses to the central nervous system from sensory receptors located in

Sensory (afferent)
27
carries impulses from the CNS to effector organs, muscles, and glands. These
impulses activate muscles and glands.
Motor (efferent)
28
responds to stress and is responsible for the increase of your heartbeat and blood
pressure, among other physiological changes, along with the sense of excitement you may feel due to
the increase of adrenaline in your system.
Sympathetic
29
is evident when you rest or feel relaxed and is responsible for such things as the
constriction of the pupil, the slowing of the heart, the dilation of the blood vessels, and the stimulation
of the digestive and urinary systems.
Parasympathetic

Phototropism
54
is a directional response that allows plants to grow towards or in some cases away from,
a source of light.
Phototropism
55
It is a plant's growth response in which the direction of growth is determined by a stimulus or
gradient in water concentration.
Hydrotropism
56

bulk-feeders
68
animals that live in or on their food source.
substrate-feeders
69
Examples: earthworms that
feed through the soil where they live in; caterpillars that eat through the leaves where they live.
substrate-feeders
70
include many aquatic animals that draw in water and strain small organisms
and food particles present in the medium.
filter-feeders
71
Examples: whales and coelenterates
filter-feeders
72

fluid-feeders
73
Examples: mosquitoes,
leeches, head lice, aphids
fluid-feeders
74
eat relatively large chunks of food and have adaptations like jaws, teeth,
tentacles, claws, pincers, etc. that help in securing the food and tearing it to pieces.
bulk-feeders

bulk-feeders
76
animals with four-part stomachs, which
allows them to chew food more than once.
Ruminants
77
essentially like a tube with an opening at one
end for taking in food (mouth) and an opening
at the other end where unabsorbed waste
materials are eliminated (anus).
Complete Digestive System
78

peristalsis
79
Organs of the digestive system
1. Oral Cavity
2. Pharynx
3. Esophagus
4. Stomach
5. Small intestine
6. large intestine
7. rectum
8. anus
80
mixes and stores ingested food, secretes gastric juice that helps dissolve and
degrade the food, and regulates the passage of food into the small intestine.
Stomach
81
carries out most of the digestive process, absorbing almost all of the nutrients you get from foods into your bloodstream.
Small intestine
82
When food residue remains in the large intestine for extended periods, excessive water is absorbed and the stool becomes hard and difficult to pass, causing _____________.
Constipation
83
result from any condition that rushes undigested food residue through the large intestine before it has had sufficient time to absorb the water.
Diarrhea
84
Invertebrates’ Excetrory System

to their digestive tract (midgut)
Malpighian Tubules
88
a network of tubules that lack internal openings but
have external openings at the body surface called nephridiopores such as in the flatworm, Dugesia.
Protonephridia or Flame Bulb System
89
is the condition wherein steady state is regulated inside the organism for it to adapt to internal and
external changes.
Homeostasis
90

Homeostasis
91
refers to stability, balance or equilibrium.
Homeostasis
92

receptor
94

center of control
95
produce a response appropriate to the change.
effector
96
are two main types of feedback to which the system reacts:
Negative feedback

b. Carbon dioxide concentration
c. Blood sugar level
