|---|---|
| What is Hibernation? | A state of extremely low metabolism and respiration, accompanied by lower-than-normal body temperature. |
| What are Ectothermic animals? | Lacking an internal mechanism for regulating body heat. |
| What is the Atrium? | A heart chamber that receives blood. |
| What is the Ventricle? | A heart chamber from which blood is pumped out. |
| What is Bile? | A mixture of salts and phospholipids that aids in the break down of fats. |
| What are Anadromous animals? | A life cycle in which creatures are hatched in fresh water, migrate to salt water as adults, and then go back to fresh water in order to reproduce. |
| What is Viviparous development? | Development that occurs inside the female, allowing the offspring to gain nutrients and vital substances from the mother through the mother through a placenta. |
| What is Ovoviviparous development? | Development that occurs in an egg that is hatched inside the female's body . |
| What is Oviparous development? | Development that occurs in an egg that is hatched outside the female's body. |
| What is External fertilization? | The process by which the female lays eggs and the male fertilizes them once they are outside of the female. |
| What is Internal fertilization? | The process by which the male places sperm inside the female's body, where the eggs are fertilized. |
| What are the Medulla oblongata? | The lobes that coordinate vital functions, such as those of the circulatory and respiratory systems, and transport signals from the brain to the spinal cord. |
| What is the Cerebellum? | The lobe that controls involuntary actions and refines muscle movement. |
| What are the Optic lobes? | The lobes of the brain that receive signals from the receptors in the eyes. |
| What is the Cerebrum? | The lobes of the brain that integrate sensory information and coordinate the creature's response to that information. |
| What are the Olfactory lobes? | The lobes of the brain that receive signals from the receptors in the nose. |
| What are Veins? | Blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart. |
| What are Capillaries? | Tiny, thin-walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and the cells of the body. |
| What are Arteries? | Blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart |
| What is a Closed circulatory system? | A circulatory system in which the oxygen-carrying blood cells never leave the blood vessels. |
| What is the Appendicular skeleton? | The portion of the skeleton that attaches to the axial skeleton and has the limbs attached to it. |
| What is the Axial skeleton? | The portion of the skeleton that supports and protects the head, neck, and trunk. |
| What is Bone marrow? | A soft tissue inside the bone that produces blood cells. |
| What is an Endoskeleton? | A skeleton on the inside of a creature's body, typically composed of bone or cartilage. |
| What is the Notochord? | A rod of tough, flexible material that runs the length of a creature's body, providing the majority of its support. |
| What are Vertebrae? | Segments of bone or some other hard substance that are arranged into a backbone |
| Blood is traveling back to the heart. Is it in a vein or artery? | A vein. |
| If you see a sealed tube of bright red blood, did it most likely come from a vein or artery? | An artery. |
