what is the first stage of the hierarchy of life?
atoms and molecules
what is the second stage of the hierarchy of life?
a cell (base unit of life)
what is the third stage of the hierarchy of life?
a tissu (group of similar specialized cells, with ONE function)
what is the fourth stage of the hierarchy of life?
an organ (2 or more tissus which together have a specific function and form
what is the fifth stage of the hierarchy of life?
a system (multiple tissus + organs which complete one/multiple functions)
what is the final stage of the hierarchy of life?
an organism (something that can live or die, comprised of multiple systems)
what is the function of epithelial tissu?
to absorb and secrete substances
what are the sub categories of epithelial tissu? what do they look like?
- simple: ONE single layer of thin rectangular cells stuck together.
- composed: MULTIPLE layers of thick rectangular cells stuck together.
what are the three sub categories of muscle tissu. what do they look like?
- squelettal: long and striped layers of cells with dark nuclei
- soft: little to no stripes, waved lines and dark nuclei
- cardiac: branched and striped muscle tissu with dark lines (intercellular disks)
what is the function for each muscle tissu subcategory?
squelettal: to voluntarily move the muscles of the skeleton
- soft: involuntarily makes internal organs move
- cardiac: involuntarily pumps the heart
what are the 5 subcategories of connective tissu
- cartilagineux
- osseux
- adipeux
- sanguins
- non-specialises
what are the six ‘constituants alimentaires’?
- glucides
- proteines
- lipides
- minerals
- vitamines
- eau
what is the role of glucides?
source of energy
what is the role of proteins?
construction and repair of tissus in organism, chemical reactions , and sources of energy
what is the role of lipides?
source of energy, protects and isolates against cold, composition of hormones and cellular membranes.
what is the role minerals?
construction of tissu, participates in transmitting nervous influx and transporting oxygen in blood and chemical reactions.
what is the role of vitamins?
contributes to chemical reaction, each vitamine has a different role
what is the role of eau
is a solvant in most chemical reactions, maintains body temperature, transportation of substances in body
what are the sources for each constituant alimentaire?
- glucides: veggies, fruits and cereals
- proteines: meats and substituts
- lipides: vegetal oils and animal fats
- minerals: fruits and veggies, meats and substituts, dairy products,
vitamins: variety of aliments
eau: fruits and veggies and LIQUIDS
what are the parts of the digestif tube in order?
- mouth
- esophagus
- stomach
- small intestin
- large intestin
- rectum
- anus
what are the digestive glandes and where are they found?
salivary glandes, found in the mouth. liver, pancreas, gastric glandes, found in the stomach. intestinal glandes, found in the small intestin.
what three organs do chemical and mechanical digestion take place?
the mouth, the stomach and the small intestin
what mechanical digestion takes place in the mouth?
MASTICATION: cuts up aliments in pieces to accelerate digestion.
what chemical digestion takes place in the mouth?
INSALIVATION: saliva wets and transforms aliments with enzymes, beginning digestion.
saliva transforms amidon into dissacarides
what mechanical digestion takes place in the stomach?
BRASSAGE: contractions of smooth muscle tissu that breaks up and mixes bols alimentaires
