Question
Answer
Levels of organization in multicellular organisms   cell, tissue, organ, organ system  
🗑
Nervous system   coordinates the body's response to changes in its internal and external environments.  
🗑
Integumentary System   skin etc., serves as a barrier, regulates temp, protects against uv radiation  
🗑
Respiratory system   provides oxygen and removes carbon dioxide from the body  
🗑
Digestive System   Converts food into simpler molecules that can be used by cells of the body, absorbs food.  
🗑
Excretory system   eliminates waste products of metabolism from the body, maintains homeostasis  
🗑
Skeletal System   supports the body, protects internal organs, allows movement, stores mineral reserves, provides a site for blod cell formation  
🗑
Muscular system   works with skeletal system to produce voluntary movement, help sto circulate blood and move food thru the digestive system  
🗑
Endocrine system   controls growth, development, and reproduction.  
🗑
Reproductive system   produces reproductive cells, in females nurtures and protects developing embryo  
🗑
Lymphatic system   helps protect the body from disease, collects fluid lost from blood vessels and returns it to circulatory system  
🗑
Muscle tissue   controls internal movement of materials  
🗑
Epithelial tissue   cover the surface of the body and line internal organs.  
🗑
Connective tissue   holds organs in place and binds different parts of the body together.  
🗑
Glands   made from epithelial tissue - is a structure that makes and secretes a particular product  
🗑
Nervous tissue   receives messages from the body's external and internal environments, analyzes the data, and directs the response  
🗑
Feedback inhibition   when the product of a system shuts down the system or limits its operation.  
🗑
Hypothalmus   part of the brain that controls temperature  
🗑
Nervous system   controls and coordinates fuctions throughout the body and responds to internal and external stimuli.  
🗑
Neuron   cells that transmit impulses, or electrical signals  
🗑
Sensory neurons   carry impulses from the sense organs to the spinal chord and brain.  
🗑
Motor neurons   carry impulses from the brain and the spinal chord to muscles and glands.  
🗑
Interneurons   connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them.  
🗑
Cell body   largest part of a typical neuron  
🗑
Dendrites   spread out from the cell body, carry impulses from the environment or other neurons toward the cell body.  
🗑
Axon   long fiber that carries impulses away from the cell body  
🗑
Axon terminals   axon ends in a small series of swellings  
🗑
Myelin sheath   insulating membrane that surrounds the axon. Leaves gaps called nodes that allows the impulse to jump from one node to another.  
🗑
Resting potential   there are more potassium ions in the cell. More sodium ions are outside the cell. There is a negative charge on the inside of the membrane and a postive one outside.  
🗑
Nerve impulse   begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by its environment.  
🗑
Action potential   reversal of charges. The sodium gates open, and the sodium ions pour in. The potassium gates then open, and the potassium fows out. The action potential continues along the axon.  
🗑
Threshold   minimum level of stimulus required to activate a neuron. It's all or nothing.  
🗑
Synapse   Location at which a neuron can transfer an impulse to another cel. There is a small cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrites.  
🗑
Neurotransmitters   chemicals used by a neuron to transmit an impulse across a synapse to another cell. When the action potential arrives at an axon terminal, the vesicals release the neurotransmitters and they diffuse and attachthemselves to receptors on the other cell.  
🗑
Central nervous system   relays messages, processes info, analyzes info. Consists of the brain and spinal chord.  
🗑
Meninges   connenctive tissues that wrap the brain and spinal chord  
🗑
Cerebronspinal fluid   between two of the layers of meninges. Bathe the brain and spinal chord and act as a shock absorber.  
🗑
Cerebrum   Largest region of brain. Responsible for voluntary activities.  
🗑
Corpus callosum   band of tissue that connects the hemispheres of the brain.  
🗑
Gray matter   consists of desnsely packed nerve cell bodies.  
🗑
Cerebral cortex   outer surface of cerebrum.  
🗑
Cerebellum   2nd largest, located at back of scull, coordinates and balances muscles.  
🗑
Brain stem   includes pons and medulla oblongata. Regulates the flow of info between the brain and rest of the body.  
🗑
Thalamus   receives messages from the sense organs and relays messages to the proper region of the cerebrum.  
🗑
Hypothalamus   control center for recognition of hunger, thirst, fatigue, anger, and body temp  
🗑
Spinal chord   main communication link between brain and the rest of the body.  
🗑
Reflex   quick, automatic response to a stimulus.  
🗑
Peripheral nervous system   Divided into sensory and motor divisions.  
🗑
Sensory division   transmits impulses from sense organs to the c.n.s.  
🗑
Motor division   transmits imuplses from the central nervous system to muscles or glands. Divided into somatic nervous system and autonomic nervous system.  
🗑
Somatic nervous system   regulates conscious activities. Also involved with reflex arcs.  
🗑
Autonomic nervous system   regulates involuntary activities like hearbeats.  
🗑
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems   both control autonomic nervous system responsibilities oppositely.  
🗑


   

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.
