part A Flashcards
Autotrophy
produce own food from organic molecules
Heterotrophy
derive energy from other living organisms
pyloric sphincter
regulates the flow of food into intestine and prevents regurgitation into stomach
somites
blocks of mesoderm that are located on either side of the neural tube in the developing vertebrate embryo. Also determines the migratory paths of neural crest cells and of the axons of spinal nerves
phyla
the taxonomic rank:
domain > kingdom > phylum > class > order > family > genus > species
analogy
similar function, different structure and embryonic origin
homology
different function, similar structure and embryonic origin
enamel
white part that covers the crown of the tooth
amniotes
reptiles and birds
anapsid
reptile with NO temporal openings in the skull (turtle)
diapsid
reptile with 2 temporal openings in the skull (lizards, snakes, birds)
catabolism
breakdown, energy-producing, grom complex to simple
anabolism
building, energy needed/storage, from simple to complex
pepsin
breaksdown protein, produced in gastric chief cells
rennin
milk-curling enzyme
trypsin and chymotrypsin
continue enzymatic digestion of protiens
cows digestion system order
mouth-rumen-mouth-rumen-reticulum-omasum-abomasum-intestine-colon-anus
what can you find in the corpus stomach?
mucus cells, parietal cells (hydrochloric acid), chief cells (pepsinogen)
what can you find in the fundus stomach?
additional storage, mucus production
epithelium
layer of cells that line hollow organs and glands
small intestine structures
villi (epithelium, connective tissue), microvilli, glycocalyx (peripheral glycoproteins that help to increase nutrient uptakes, construct a physical barrier between the cell and harmful elements)
deciduous
milk teeth
homodont
all the teeth similar
heterodont
having teeth differentiated (incisors, canines, premolars, molars)
enteric nervous system
arrangement of neurons and supporting cells throughout the gastrointestinal tract
structures in the mucosa from the GI tract
- MUCOSAE MEMBRANE: protect against abrasion and substances attack. Absorptive cells for nutrients. Secretion hormones.
- LAMINA PROPRIA: small blood vessels, nerves, lymphatic vessels, Peyer’s patches, lymph nodules. Fight against bacteria.
- MUSCULARIS MUCASAE: contract mucosa into folds
Peyer’s patches
are groupings of lymphoid follicles in the mucus membrane that lines your small intestine. Important for immune surveillance of materials within your digestive system
structures in the submucosa from GI tract
- enables larege degree of stretch without damage. Larger blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.
- submucosal plexus (Meisser’s plexus) and myenteric plexus
submucosal plexus
nervous tissue that control movements in the GI tract
structures in the muscularis externa from the GI tract
- CIRCULAR MUSCLE LAYER: smooth muscle capable of generating spontaneous depolarizations
- LONGITUDINAL MUSCLE LAYER: multi-unit smooth muscle, depends on neural input for contraction
serosa
structural support connective tissue for GI tract
salivary amylase
enzyme in the saliva. Breaks down amylose and amylopectin into smaller chains of glucose ( maltose, dextrins)
