Question
Answer
digestive system- GI tube   mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine,rectum, anus.  
🗑
digestive system- accessory organs   teeth, mandible, salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, pancreas.  
🗑
the mouth   Teeth chew food; tongue tastes and pushes food for chewing and swallowing  
🗑
Pharynx   passageway where food is swallowed  
🗑
the stomach   secrets acid and digestive enzynes for protein; churns, mixing food with secretions and sends chyme to small intestine  
🗑
large intestine   absorbs water and salt to form feces  
🗑
rectum   stores and regulates elimination of feces  
🗑
salivary glands   secrete saliva: contains digestive enzymes for carbohydrates  
🗑
liver   major metabolic organ: processes and stores nutrients `  
🗑
pancreas   procures pancreatic juice:contains digestive enzymes, and sends it to the small intestine produces insulin and secrets into the blood after eating.  
🗑
osmolality   the total solute concentration in a given solution. isosmotic, hyposmotic, hyperosmotic.  
🗑
hypertonic   a solution with a high osmotic pressure  
🗑
hypotonic   a solution with low osmotic pressure  
🗑
isotonic   equal osmotic pressure- no net water movement will occur if a cell is placed in this solution.  
🗑
nephrons   makes urine by filtering the blood of its small molecules and ions, reclaims useful materials and releases surplus or waste out as urine.  
🗑
collecting tubule   it leads to the pelvis of the kidney form where the urine flows to the bladder and, periodically, on to the outside world  
🗑
how do the kidneys maintain homeostais   excrete wastes, regulates blood volume and pressure, regulates pH, assistance to other system.  
🗑
osmosis   Osmosisdiffusion of water across a membrane from a more dilute solution (low solute concentration) to a less dilute solution (high solute concentration)  
🗑
glomerulus   blood enters under pressure  
🗑
after Blood enters the glomerulus under pressur, small molecules and ions to filter through the capillary walls into   Bowman's capsule.  
🗑
ADH- anthidiuertic hormone   Causes wall of collecting ducts to be more permeable to water so more water is reabsorbed.  
🗑
Atrial natriuretic hormone   secreted by right atrium of heart in response to increased blood volume promotes excretion of salt and water into the urine  
🗑
Function of the lungs   is gas exchange with the blood.  
🗑
breathing   moving air in/out of lungs  
🗑
External respiration:   in the lungs exchange of gas into the blood  
🗑
internal respiration   exchange of O2 BETWEEN BLOOD AND CELLS  
🗑
the respiratory system   mouth/nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea,bronchus, brachioles, aveoli  
🗑
mouth/nose   how air enters and leaves your system  
🗑
pharynx   connects nose to the larynx  
🗑
larynx   your voice box, it connects your pharynx to your trachea  
🗑
trachea   your windpipe, it connects your larynx to your bronchus  
🗑
bronchua   the main tubes that runs from the trachea the brochioles. the two tubes that divide to your left and right lung  
🗑
brochioles   smaller tubes made of smooth muscles that divide into many tubes  
🗑
aveoli   where gas exchange takes place. air sacs in the lungs covered in blood vessels  
🗑
inhaling   is active and need muscular contractions. rib cage rises, diaphragm goes down.  
🗑
exhaling   is passive and happens when muscles relax., rib cage descends, diaphragm goes up.  
🗑
Larynx-->   mouth, throat (pharynx), trachea  
🗑
Lungs-->   bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli  
🗑
Epiglottis   acts like a door- sits on top of the voice box. Opens up when eatin putting pressure on the breathing .  
🗑
gametes   sex cells  
🗑
fertilization   the combination of a female and male gametes  
🗑
zygote   a fertilized egg  
🗑
embryology   the study of developing embryos  
🗑
development   a series of events that give rise to full grown organism  
🗑
embryo   a multicellular organism in the early stage of development  
🗑
differentiation   a series of changes that transfer unspecialized embryonic cells into specialized tissues, and organs.  
🗑
cleavage   series of cell division by the zygote  
🗑
morula   first stage of development. solid balls of cells undergoing cleavage  
🗑
blastula   second stage of development  
🗑
gastrula   the third stage of development. In this stage, cells on one side of the blastula move inward and form a multi-layered embryo with three germ layers.  
🗑
germ layers   Three distinct tissue layers that form during gastrulation. The three major germ layers are the endoderm, mesoderm and exoderm.  
🗑
aorta   the main artery in the body, caries blood form the left ventricle to the systematic circulation  
🗑
artery   a blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the rest of the body  
🗑
atria   a chamber that receives blood that is returning within the lungs  
🗑
bronchiole   a small air passage that branches form the bronchi within the lungs  
🗑
capillary   a tiny blood vessel that allows an exchanged between blood and cells in tissues  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   in animals, respiration through the lungs  
🗑
systemic circulation   the movement of blood from the heart to the heart  
🗑
vein   in animals, a vessel that carries blood to the heart  
🗑
ventricles   one of the two large muscular chambers that pump blood out of the hear  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
