Bio Chapter 40

TermDefinition
sheets of cells that covers surface, also barrier against mechanical injury or fluid loss, AVASCULAR Epithelial Tissue
Specialized for secretion Ex: Kidney, tubules, and glands Cubodial epithelial
Large amount of cytoplasm for absorption ex: Intestines Simple Columnar epithelial
Rapid cell division- abrasive Locations: Esophagus and skin Simple Squamous epithelial
sheet of proteins secreted by epithelial tissue; binds epithelial to underlying collective tissue Basement membrane
Mostly extracellular matrix of proteins with few cell Connective Tissue
Produces a protein called collagen Fibroblasts
Defense cells to fight infections includes cartilage bone and blood Macrophages
cushions, insulates, rigid support, nutrient distribution, defense/immune, and storage/fat Functions of the Macrophages
Nearly responsible for all types of body movement Muscle tissue
Attached to bone- voluntary Skeletal muscle
Heart- involuntary Cardiac muscle
Moves different from skeletal mainly on GI tract Smooth muscle
Cells contain to two proteins which enable cells to contract..usually attached to bones by tendons Actin and Myosin
composed of neurons and support cells specialized to initiate and conduct electrical signals as a means of rapid communication between body parts Amitotic Nervous tissue
brain, spinal cord, and nerves made of what? Neurons
carry out major functions of the vertebrates and most invertebrates. organ systems
internal cells are surrounded by....that connect all cells to respiratory, digestive, excretory and circulatory systems interstitial fluid
maintenance of a relatively constant interval environment even when external environment changes Homeostasis
monitors environment and sends info to integrating center Receptor
determines set point and analyses input and determines appropriate response integrating center
mechanism to provide response effector
variable changes in a direction opposite to initial change negative feedback
uses control mechanisms to regulate an internal variable preventing changes that might result from external changes Regulator
allows internal condition to vary with external changes conformer
gains heat mostly from the external environment dependent on external conditions ex: fish, reptiles, amphibians Exothermic
warmed by heat generated from metabolic processes independent of external conditions : Birds and Mammals Endothermic
process by which animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range thermoregulation
flow of heat between two objects in direct contact Higher "T" to lower "T" Conduction
Transfer by air or water movement over the surface Ex: Wind Convection
Electromagnetic radiation Ex: Sun Radiation
poorly insulated depends on behaviors to regulate body temp Exotherms
well insulated utilizes internal heat generated by metabolic process may use behavior uses fat, feathers, fur to insulate maintains a more constant body temp Endotherms
amount of energy allocated to each of the demands energy budget
energy used per unit of time measured as oxygen consumption chemical energy from food used to make ATP energy used for MAINTENANCE, GROWTH, STORAGE, AND REPRODUCTION Metabolism
varies at a constant rate with body mass across the animal function of bioenergetics and may limit an animal's behavior, growth and reproduction. Metabolism
have a higher mass and a specific metabolic rate than larger... smaller endotherms
physiological state where activity is low and metabolism decreases saving energy while avoiding dangerous conditions Torpor
primary eats autotrophs herbivores
primary eats heterotrophs carnivores
regularly consume animals as well as plant and algal matter omnivores
provides continuous supply of metabolites for growth and energy for cellular functions food
chemical reaction by which cells acquire and utilize energy metabolism
includes glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation major pathways that power "cellular work" via ATP production Aerobic metabolism

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
