50 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
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.
