show Mechanical and chemical digestion.

What are 3 food molecules and what are they broken down into?   show
🗑

🗑
show Heart to arteries to arterioles to capillaries to veins to heart.

🗑
Parts of blood (4).   show
🗑

show In bone marrow.

Why are red blood cells biconcave discs?   show
🗑
show 4 months and destroyed in the spleen  
🗑
How do red blood cells create energy?   show
🗑
show 2 atria, 2 ventricles, nodes...  
🗑
show Less stimulus from the vagus nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system and/or the sympathetic nervous system and epinephrine.  
🗑
show A: antigen A and anti-B antibody. B: antigen B and anti-A antibody. O: no antigens and both antibodies.  
🗑
show Passive immunity (barriers to entry)and active immunity.  
🗑
Types of white blood cells.   show
🗑
show Used to drive electron transport and ATP production during aerobic respiration of cells.  
🗑
show Active process of chest muscles moving ribs up and out as the diaphragm moves down, increases volume and vacuuming in air. Versus passive exhalation.  
🗑
What controls breathing rate?   show
🗑
Why is the nose important to respiration?   show
🗑
show Pharynx diverts food away from lungs to esophagus. Larynx creates voice. Trachea protects air through throat with flexible strong rings.  
🗑
Describe gas exchange in the lungs.   show
🗑
show Melanocytes in epidermis make melanin.  
🗑
show Subcutaneous fat in the hypodermis  
🗑
Heat regulation in the middle layer of skin.   show
🗑
Removal of metabolic wastes produced in the body.   show
🗑
show Elimination.  
🗑
show Kidneys form urine to remove nitrogenous wastes and regulate the volume and salt content of the extracellular fluids. Kidneys to ureter tube to urinary blader to urethra.  
🗑
Chemical communication system . Compare to other communication system.   show
🗑
Hormone excretions directly into the bloodstream versus non-hormone secretions through ducts into a body compartment. Example of organ that does both.   show
🗑
show feedback loop  
🗑
Endocrine tissues in brain and specific location.   show
🗑
show Portal circulatory system. When hypothalamus is stimulated(by feedback from endocrine glands or neurons)it sends "releasing factors" into the anterior pituitary-hypothalamic portal circulatory system, stimulating anterior pituitary to secrete hormones.  
🗑
6 hormones released by the anterior pituitary   show
🗑
Old follicles in ovaries change into what and do what?   show
🗑
show Antidiuretic hormone (ADH/ vasopressin that acts on kidneys) and Oxytocin (contracts uterus during birth)  
🗑
show Thyroid releases thyroxine (4 atoms iodine) that accelerates oxidative metabolism. Hypo=goiter, decr. HR, lethargy, obesity, decr. mental alertness. Hyper=perspiration, high temp, high metabolic rate, high BP, weight loss, irritable.  
🗑
Pea-like organs in chest, hormones, and abnormalities.   show
🗑
show Islets of Langerhans w/cc alpha cells (glucagon-responds to low blood sugar and stimulates glycogen breakdown to glucose) and beta cells (insulin-stimulates muscles to remove glucose when high blood cc or tells muscles and liver to convert to glycogen)  
🗑
show Adrenal glands consisting of the adrenal cortex and the adrenal medulla.  
🗑
show Stress:ACTH from pituitary:adrenal cortex secretes corticosteroids. Limited by their alterations of fat metabolism and their suppression of the immune system.  
🗑
Adrenal hormone with small effect on males, but large on females.   show
🗑
Specialized sympathetic nerve cells that secrete hormones   show
🗑
show Gonands (testes and testosterone, ovaries and estrogen)  
🗑
9 parts to nervous system organization   show
🗑
Primary neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nervous system.   show
🗑
Primary neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system.   show
🗑
Electrochemical signals transmitted by neurons.   show
🗑
show Synaptic cleft.  
🗑
Neurotransmitter responsible for voluntary movement.   show
🗑
show Cerebral cortex, hemispheres, all voluntary motor activity and higher functions such as memory and creative thought. Outer portion containing cell bodies (gray matter) and inner portion containing axons (white matter).  
🗑
show Olfactory lobe.  
🗑
show Thalamus.  
🗑
Hunger, thirst, pain, temp regulation, and water balance   show
🗑
show Cerebellum.  
🗑
Relay center for cerebral cortical fibers en route to the cerebellum.   show
🗑
Controls breathing, HR, and gastrointestinal activity. Causes involuntary breathing in response to high CO levels.   show
🗑
Network of neurons in the brain stem involved in processing signals from sensory and transmitting to other regions. Regulates activity of regions to alter alertness and attention.   show
🗑
Route for axons to travel out of the brain. Center for many reflex actions.   show
🗑

🗑
Bends and focuses light rays.   show
🗑

🗑
What happens to focus on nearby objects?   show
🗑

🗑
Characteristics and location of "involuntary muscle."   show
🗑
Characteristics of "voluntary muscles."   show
🗑
show Nerves of somatic NS stimulate skeletal muscle through neuromuscluar synapses. Action potential moves over muscle fiber, releasing calcium in cytoplasm,causing thin actin and thick myosin to slide over each other, shortening fibers.  
🗑
Organization of muscle, small to large.   show
🗑
show Single nucleus, striated, connected by gap junctions (direct with no chemical synapses), regulated by ANS (increase rate and strenth with sympathetic, visa versa).  
🗑

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.
