The acquisition of the same biological trait in unrelated lineages

The vertebrate limb is one example of this type of evolution. The limb in many different species has a common origin, but has evolved in overall structure and function.

minimal caloric requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual

decreased tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery as a result of severe infection and sepsis

portion of the pleura external to the pulmonary pleura. lines the inner surface of the chest wall, covers the diaphragm, and is reflected over the structures occupying the middle of the thorax

Visceral (Pulmonary) Pleura

attached directly to the lungs, as opposed to the parietal pleura, which is attached to the opposing thoracic cavity. The space between these two delicate membranes is known as the intrapleural space.

central compartment of the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, the great vessels of the heart, esophagus, trachea, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve, thoracic duct, thymus, and lymph nodes of the central chest.

Gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In humans, also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone

part of an organ where structures such as blood vessels and nerves enter

predominates in unstable or unpredictable environments as the ability to reproduce quickly is crucial. Traits that are thought to be characteristic include: high fecundity, small body size, early maturity onset, short generation time

predominates in stable or predictable environments as the ability to compete successfully for limited resources is crucial and populations typically are very constant and close to the maximum that the environment can bear.

Mass/# H+ = Mass/# OH- = Mass/# Equivalent

change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling. The alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents, and chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces.

Area between the scrotum and anus.

Endoreduplication without nuclear or cellular division, resulting in cells with many copies of the same chromosome occupying a single nucleus

Question	Answer
Convergent Evolution	The acquisition of the same biological trait in unrelated lineages
Divergent Evolution	The vertebrate limb is one example of this type of evolution. The limb in many different species has a common origin, but has evolved in overall structure and function.
Basal Metabolic Rate	minimal caloric requirement needed to sustain life in a resting individual
Heart rate (Beats/Minute) * Stroke Volume (Volume/Beat) = Volume/Minute = Delta Pressure/Resistance	Cardiac Output
Septic Shock	decreased tissue perfusion and oxygen delivery as a result of severe infection and sepsis
Parietal Pleura	portion of the pleura external to the pulmonary pleura. lines the inner surface of the chest wall, covers the diaphragm, and is reflected over the structures occupying the middle of the thorax
Visceral (Pulmonary) Pleura	attached directly to the lungs, as opposed to the parietal pleura, which is attached to the opposing thoracic cavity. The space between these two delicate membranes is known as the intrapleural space.
Mediastinum	central compartment of the thoracic cavity. It contains the heart, the great vessels of the heart, esophagus, trachea, phrenic nerve, cardiac nerve, thoracic duct, thymus, and lymph nodes of the central chest.
Gama-aminobutyric acid (GABA)	chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. It plays a role in regulating neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. In humans, also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone
Hilum	part of an organ where structures such as blood vessels and nerves enter
R-selection	predominates in unstable or unpredictable environments as the ability to reproduce quickly is crucial. Traits that are thought to be characteristic include: high fecundity, small body size, early maturity onset, short generation time
Fecundity	Ability to reproduce
K-selection	predominates in stable or predictable environments as the ability to compete successfully for limited resources is crucial and populations typically are very constant and close to the maximum that the environment can bear.
Gram Equivalent Mass	Mass/# H+ = Mass/# OH- = Mass/# Equivalent
Genetic Drift	change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling. The alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents, and chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces.
Perineum	Area between the scrotum and anus.
Peritoneal Cavity	Abdominal Cavity
Endomitosis	Endoreduplication without nuclear or cellular division, resulting in cells with many copies of the same chromosome occupying a single nucleus
