| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Connective tissue | Usually lots of intercellularsoace. Often Form extracellular fibers. |
| Ectotherm | animals with a relatively low metabolic rate so they gain heat from outside |
| Endotherm | use metabolism to regulate internal body temperature with some precision. expend energy to either warm the body or cool the body. |
| Epithelium | covers all surfaces; may secrete; selective (active) transport; protective |
| Hibernation | "useful strategies for relatively small animals to conserve energy during adverse seasons |
| Homeostasis | describes a pattern of regulation that resists change and returns toward a set point. |
| Muscle | Cells are capable of active contraction |
| Nerve | Active cells that connect to one another with muscle with gland cells |
| Organ | combinations of tissues (often all 4 types) for particular functions |
| Tissue | combination of cells |
| carnivores | organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue |
| chylomicron | lipoprotein particles that consist of triglycerides (85-92%), phospholipids (6-12%), cholesterol (1-3%) and proteins (1-2%; enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream. |
| glucagon | a hormone secreted by the pancreas, raises blood glucose levels. Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers blood glucose levels |
| glycogen | the molecule that functions as the secondary long-term energy storage in animal and fungal cells. It is made primarily by the liver and the muscles |
| Helicobacter pylori | the main cause of gastric ulcers |
| herbivores | animal that its main diet is vegetation |
| insulin | a hormone central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle. |
| leptin | protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure, including appetite and metabolism. |
| omnivores | species that eat both plants and animals as their primary food source |
| cholecystokinin (CCK) | "bile" a peptide hormone of the gastrointestinal system responsible for stimulating the digestion of fat and protein. |
| gastrin | a hormone that stimulates secretion of gastric acid (HCl) by the parietal cells of the stomach and aids in gastric motility. |
| ghrelin | a hormone produced mainly by P/D1 cells lining the fundus of the human stomach and epsilon cells of the pancreas that stimulates hunger.increase before meals and decrease after meals. counterpart of leptin. |
| portal circulation | a portal venous system occurs when a capillary bed drains into another capillary bed through veins, without first going through the heart. Both capillary beds and the blood vessels that connect them are considered part of the portal venous system. |
| secretin | a hormone that controls the secretions into the duodenum, and also separately, water homeostasis throughout the body |
| sinusoids | a small blood vessel similar to a capillary but with a fenestrated endothelium. |
| vagus nerve | conveys sensory information about the state of the body's organs to the central nervous system. |
