Unit 9 Test Flashcards
Hieracrhal ststem in an animal structure
Cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, the whole organism
Organs
Different tissue types organized together to form organs
Mesentaries
Are the connective tissues that hold organs in place
Organ system
Group of organs working together to complete a common task
Digestive
Processes food
Circulatory
Distribution of materials
Respitory
Gas exchange
Immune
Body defense
Excretory
Removal of waste
Reproductive
Reproduction
Nervous
Response to stimuli
Integumentary
Protection against infection
Skeletal
Body support
Muscular
Movement
Tissue
A group of cells that work together to perform a function
Epithelial tissues
Provides protection both inside and out
Connective tissue
Binds, supports, protects, stores fat and forms blood cells
Nervous tissue
Carry messages throughout the body
Muscle tissue
Made of actin and myosin and provide movement
Locomotion
Is produced by the interaction of the skeletal and muscular systems
In water locomotion
Swimming
On land locomotion
Hopping, crawling, walking and running
In the air locomotion
Flying
Functions of the skeletal system
Support and shape, protection of organs, blood cell formation, and mineral storage
Axial
Acts solely in protection
Appendicular
Consists of all bones of the appendages
Red marrow
Found in the epithysis(end) of a long bone
Yellow marrow
Found in the diaphysis(shafts) of a long bone
Smooth muscle tissue
Involuntary and found surrounding internal organs
Cardiac muscle tissue
Involuntary found in the walls of the heart
Skeletal muscle tissue
Voluntary that makes up the muscles attached to bones
Epidermis
Outer layer
Dermis
Inner layer(living tissue)
Hyperdermis
Lowest layer(mostly fat)
Essential nutrients
Water, vitamins, and minerals
Difference between organic and inorganic
Organic contains carbon and inorganic does not
Difference between vitamins and minerals
Vitamins are organic and minerals are inorganic
Stages of food processing
Ingestion- eating
Digestion- breaking down food
Absorption- taking in molecules
Elimination- undigested material is passed it of the body
Perilstalsis
Relation of the muscles of the intestine that push the contents of the canal forward
3 cells found in the gastric pits of a stomach
Zymogenic, parietal, neck cells
Zymogenic cells produce
Pepsin and rennin
Parietal cells produce
Hydrochloric acid
Mucous neck cells produce
Acidic mucin
Large intestine
Reabsorption of water
Metabolic waste product us
Urea and uric acid
The human kidney
Filters blood
Renal cortex
Outer portion of the kidney
Renal medulla
Inner portion of the kidney
Renal pelvis
Hollow portion of the kidney
Nephron
Functional unit of the kidney
