Study Deck Flashcards
Fragmentation and regeneration
First the body is broken into pieces (fragmentation) and these pieces regenerate and grow the lost body parts. This occurs in some annelids, sponges, cnidarians, echinoderms, and tunicates
Budding
occurs in some cnidarians. An outgrowth forms (that is a cloned individual) that grows until it is “dropped off”
Gemmule formation
Occurs in sponges when a mass of cells is formed that is capable of developing into a new organism or into an adult freshwater sponge
Parthenogenesis
embryo develops from an unfertilized egg cell. Ex- Bees, wasps, ants, komodo
Oviparity
Laying eggs after fertilization
Ovoviparity
Fertilized eggs are retained in the body of the female and the young being nourished by the egg yolk.
Many reptiles
Viviparity
Young are nourished by a placenta in the body of the female
Monotremes
Mammals that lay eggs
Marsupials
Give birth to embryos that complete their development in a pouch
Placental mammals
Give birth to young that are more developed
Vas (ductus) deferens
Seminal duct ascends along the posterior border of the epididymis and penetrates the inguinal canal and then the pelvic cavity-carries sperm out of testes
Prostate gland
Secretes a milky, slightly acidic fluid that contains citrate
* 25% volume of semen
Epididymis (maturation)
Transport Sperm
Comma-shaped organ that lies along the posterior border of each testis
and consisting of a tightly coiled ductus epididymis (divided into a head, body, and tail)
Seminal vesicles
Secrete an alkaline (for the neutralization of acidic fluids in the female
reproductive tract)
Bulbourethral (Cowper’s) gland
Alkaline fluid and mucus that neutralize acids in the
urethra and decrease damage to sperm
Leydig cells
secrete testosterone
Fallopian Tubes
Transport ova from the ovaries to the uterus- site of fertilization
Tubes extending from upper corners of the uterus to the ovaries- fimbriae at end help capture the releasing egg
What are the basic functions of the circulatory system
Transport of necessary materials (O2 and glucose) to and wastes (CO2 and metabolic waste) from the cells of the body
Cnidarians
Do not need circulatory system- overall structure like a sponge
cells being close to the outside environment or gastrovascular activity
like sponge- diffusion occurs between the cells and the outside environment or the cells and the gastrovascular cavity
Sponges
No need for circulatory system- each cell close to either external environment
Water flowing through a channel in the body or the spongocoel
Flatworms
No need for circulatory system- Close to the environment or highly branches intestines indusion is adequate
Nematodes
and rotifers are pseudocoelomates that use fluid in the pseudocoelom (cavity derived partially of tissue of mesodermal origin between the gut and the body wall) for circulation
Granulocytes
neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils
Agranulocytes
Lymphocytes and monocytes
Immunity
Lymphocytes
Inflammatory response
Eosinophils, basophils
Phagocytosis
Neutrophils
Relaxation period
Ventricles start to relax; all four chambers are in diastole (the stage of relaxation or dilation of the heart muscle).
Ventricular filling
AV valves open and the blood that has flowed into the atria during ventricular contraction-rushes into the ventricles (due to an increase
in pressure in the atria)
SA node fires, which leads to
atrial depolarization
During this phase the AV valves are open but both semilunar valves are closed.
Ventricular systole (contraction)-
after the impulse passes from the AV node and through the rest of the conduction system
Initiates ventricular depolarization and contraction. The AV valves close and then the semilunar valves open and blood is pushed into the aorta and the pulmonary trunk.
Cardiac excitation
begins in the sinoatrial node (SA node)- Right atrial wall- travel through gap junctions of intercalated discs- causing atria R and L to contract simultaneously
Resistance
Ability to ward off disease that occurs in both invertebrates and vertebrates
Innate
already present as part of body from birth- prevent non-self agent from entering the body
non- specific
(act against non-self) cells or other antigens- act quickly in preventing successful invasion of disease-causing organism
Adaptive
act against specific intruder that takes a longer time to develop the first time- depending on how long the memory lasts
Specific
act against specific intruder that takes a longer time to develop the first time- depending on how long the memory lasts
What is the normal microbiota and what is its role in defense
Outcompetes some disease- causing organism by preventing them from colonizing or keeping their number below what is required to cause infection
Humoral
Neutralize and eliminate extracellular pathogens and toxins
Cell- mediated Immunity
Eliminate intracellular pathogens, infected cells and cancer cells
Phloem anatomy and physiology
Living cells (sieve tube) with sieve plates
Transport organic nutrient bidirectionally using pressure- flow mechanisms
Xylem anatomy and physiology
Dead cells (tracheids and vessel elements) thick, lignified walls
Transport water and minerals unidirectionally from roots to leaves using cohesion- tension mechanism
Innate immunity
Phagocytes- neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells- engulf and destroy pathogens through phagocytosis
Natural killer cells- recognize and destroy infected cells and cancer cells
Inflammation
Response to tissue damage or infection- increase blood flow to infected area, swelling, heat, recruitment of immune cells to site of injury or infection- contains pathogens, remove damaged cells and debris, initiate tissue repair processes
Adaptive immunity
Highly specific- target pathogen or antigen
Memory- immunological memory- stronger response upon re- exposure to the same pathogen
