epithelial tissue
|
protective outer layer cells that form barriers. so they are tightly packed.
|
|
glandular epithelia
|
epithelial tissue that absorbe or secrete chemical solutions.
|
|
mucous membrane
|
a type of glandular epithelia that lines the lumen (cavity) of the digestive and resparoty tracts.
|
|
simple epithelium
|
epithelium with a single layer of cells.
|
|
stratified epithelium
|
epithelium with multiple layers of cells.
|
|
cuboidal
|
dice shaped epithelial cells
|
|
columnar
|
brick-shaped epithelial cells
|
|
squamous
|
floor-tile-like shaped epithelial cells.
|
|
connective tissue
|
loosely packed tissue with lots of Extra cellular Matrix. binds and supports tissues.
|
|
collagenous fibers
|
made of collagen and are not elastic. more rope-like connective tissue.
|
|
elastic fiber
|
connective tissue that stretches because it has the protein elastin.
|
|
reticular fiber
|
connective tissue that is fabric-like and made of collagen, so does not stretch but keeps shape.
|
|
loose connective tissue
|
like packaging material.
|
|
fibroblasts
|
scattered in the connective tissue and secrete protein ingredients of the extracellular fibers.
|
|
macrophages
|
amoeboid cells that roam the maxe of fibers and engulf foregin particles and debris of dead cells by phagocytosis.
|
|
cartilage
|
collagenous tissue.
|
|
chondrocytes
|
cells that secrete collagen and material.
|
|
tendons
|
fibrous tissue that connects bone to muscle.
|
|
ligaments
|
fibrous tissue that connects bone to bone.
|
|
adipose
|
tissue that connects fat cells.
|
|
osteoblast
|
tissues that form bones.
|
|
osteon
|
repeating units that form bones.
|
|
skeletal muscle
|
muscle moved my voulentry movment and connected to the bones.
striated |
|
striated muscle
|
muscles with stripes.
|
|
cardiac muscle
|
striated muscle only in the heart and used to pump it. uses disks to coordinate and organize the invoulentary movement.
|
|
smooth muscle
|
not striated muscle found in the organs and used to move food and other things through the organ systems.
|
|
nervous tissue
|
the brain and nervous tissues.
|
|
neurons
|
units that make up nervous tissue. transmit electrical signals.
|
|
mesenteries
|
connective tissue in the moist, fluid-filled body cavities that suspend the organs.
|
|
thoracic cavity
|
houses the lungs/heart in mammals. (upper)
|
|
abdominal cavity
|
lower cavity in mammals seperated from above by the diaphragm
|
|
diaphragm
|
sheet of muscle between the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
|
|
bioenergetics
|
flow of energy through an animal.
|
|
metabolic rate
|
sum of all the energy-requiering biochemical reactions.
|
|
endothermic
|
animals that self-warm their own bodies. need narrow range of internal temp.
|
|
ectothermic
|
animals that use an outside source for internal heat regulation. they have a wider range of internal heat.
|
|
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
|
metabolic rate of a nongrowing endotherm at rest, with an empty stomach, and with no stress.
|
|
Standard Metabolic Rate (SMR)
|
the metabolic rate of a resting, fasting, nonstressed ectotherm.
|
|
energy budget
|
energy needed for life for any given oganism.
|
|
regulator
|
uses internal control to keep homeostasis.
|
|
conformer
|
an animal that allows its internal condition to vary with external changes.
|
|
countercurrent heat exchange
|
using the blood flow to bring heat or take away heat from a part of the body. (Sharks and ducks)
|
|
nonshivering thermogenesis (NST)
|
produces heat instead of ATP.
|
|
brown fat
|
specialized fat for NST or rapid heat production.
|
|
acclimatization
|
physiological response that animals use to adjust to a new range of temperatures.
|
|
stress induced proteina (including heat shock proteins)
|
with a rapid change in the environmental temperature, proteins are made to keep the shape of enzymes that would otherwise be denatured.
|
|
torpor
|
physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases.
|
|
hibernation
|
long term torpor that is an adaptation to winter cold and food scarcity.
|
|
estivation
|
summer torpor that enables animals to survive during high temperatures.
|
|
daily torpor
|
small birds and mammals use to rest and keep up strength.
