Question
Answer
Answer2
Blood Vessels   blood vessels carry blood between the heart, different tissues, and organs of the body. three types of blood vessels: arteries, veins, and capillaries   (blank)  
🗑
Double circulatory system   consists of: 1. systemic circulation->blood pumped (from left side of heart) to various tissues & organs, and 2. pulmonary circulation->where blood is pumped (from right side of heart) to the pulmonary cappilaries of the lungs   exist in mammals  
🗑
Myocardium   thick, muscular layser which the wall of the heart contains,   consists of cardiac muscle  
🗑
coronary arteries   arteries that supply the heart with oxygenated blood   (blank)  
🗑
aorta   largest artery in the body which has its origin at the heart->gives off branches to the extremities, neck and major organs for the purpose of supplying oxygenated blood.   (blank)  
🗑
myogenic   unlike striated muscles, cardiac muscles are SELF-EXITING   (blank)  
🗑
the cardiac cycle consists of:   1. atrial systole->contraction of the Atria, 2. ventricular systole->contraction of the Ventricles, 3. complete cardiac diastole->relaxation of hte Atria and Ventricles   (blank)  
🗑
diploid   cell with a full set of genetic material->has one chromosome from each parental set.   The diploid human genome has 46 chromosomes  
🗑
gametes   (eggs and sperm) ->contain a single set of chromosomes (haploid).   (blank)  
🗑
homologous   Having the same evolutionary origin but serving different functions; "the wing of a bat and the arm of a man are homologous   2 homologous chromosomes share following characteristics: 1. same lenght, 2. same position of centromere, 3. contain same No of genes, 4. same linear order of genes.  
🗑
Synapsis   homolougus chromosomes that pair up precisely along their lenght. this process is known as synapsis and occurs during meiosis in prophase 1.   (blank)  
🗑
Chiasmata   members of of homologous chromosomes , the chromatid pairs seem to repel and attract each other->at points of attraction, non-sister chromatids break and rejoin at exactly corresponding location.->known as crossing over   formation of chuasmata. (during prophase 1 of meiosis?)->more than one can form  
🗑
Gametogenesis   process which results in the formation of fametes (special form of cell division->meiosis, in which the No of chromosomes is halved)   (blank)  
🗑
Spermatogenesis   begins at puberty and continues through life.->   (blank)  
🗑
Spermatognia   => sperm cells->divide by mitosis->which give rise to further speratogonia   (blank)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
