List the levels of organization in the vertebrate body.

Cells; Tissues; Organs; Organ systems.

Identify the tissue types found in vertebrates.

Epithileal, Muscle, Connective, and Nerve tissues.

What are the three fundamental embryonic germ layers?

Endoderm (inner-most), Mesoderm (central), and Ectoders (outter-most).

combinations of different tissues that form a structural & functional unit.

Skeletal muscle cells are:

small cells connected by many gap junctions.

Give example of smooth muscle sites.

the lining of blood vessels, the iris of the eye, and the wall of the digestive tract.

Connective tissues include a diverse group of cells, yet they all share:

the presence of an extracellular matrix and contain collagen.

the dynamic constancy of an organism's internal environment.

Where in the body would you find squamous epithileal cells and what function do they serve?

Lining of lungs, capillary walls, blood vessels; Allows for diffusion.

Where would you find columnar epithelial cells and what is their function?

surface lining of stomach, inestines, and parts of respiratory tract; rich in specific transport channels functions in secretion and absorption.

Sensory, Motor and Interneurons.

Typical location of Sensory neurons and their function.

Located in the eyes,, ears and surface of the skin; receive information about the body's condition and external environment. Send impulses from sensory receptors TO CNS.

Typical location of Motor neurons and their function.

Located in the brain and spinal cord; stimulate muscles and glands -- conductimpulses OUT of CNS toward muscles and glands.

The three types of muscle tissue:

Smooth ([visceral muscle] walls of blood vessels, stomach and intestines), Skeletal ([long, multiple nuclei] voluntary muscles), and Cardiac ([small interconnected cells, single nucleus] walls of heart).

What is a unique characteristic of skeletal muscles?

It is made up of numerous, very long muscle cells called muscle fibers, which have multiple nuclei.

3 types of neurons	Sensory, Motor and Interneurons.
Typical location of Sensory neurons and their function.	Located in the eyes,, ears and surface of the skin; receive information about the body's condition and external environment. Send impulses from sensory receptors TO CNS.
