Question
Answer
Homeostasis   show
🗑
Integumentary   show
🗑
Skeletal   show
🗑
Muscular   show
🗑
show regulates homeostatic mechanisms, sensing changes, integrating information, sending signals to effectors  
🗑
show regulates homeostasis by secreting signaling hormones that travel through internal environment to effector cells  
🗑
Cardiovascular   show
🗑
show maintains constant fluid pressure by draining excess fluid from tissues, cleaning it, and recycling it to bloodstream  
🗑
Immune   show
🗑
show maintains stable O2 and CO2 levels in body by exchanging these gases between external and internal environments; provides vocal communication with others for protection, hunting, etc.  
🗑
Digestive   show
🗑
show maintains constantly low level of waste and regulates pH of internal environment; helps maintain constancy of internal water volume and balance of ions and other substances  
🗑
show passes genetic code containing information for forming a body and maintaining homeostasis to offspring  
🗑
show 1. Sensor mechanism 2. Integrator or control center 3. Effector mechanism 4. Feedback  
🗑
Sensor   show
🗑
Integrator   show
🗑
show organ, gland, or muscle that responds to a regulatory control signal, such as a nerve stimulus or hormone  
🗑
show feedback control system in which the level of a variable is changed in the direction opposite to that of the initial stimulus  
🗑
Positive feedback   show
🗑
Feed-forward   show
🗑
Intracellular control   show
🗑
show level of homeostatic control of body processes that occurs within a particular tissue or organ, as when local regulators such as prostaglandins regulate local physiology  
🗑
show style of physiological regulation in which the control center (regulatory center) is outside, or extrinsic to, the tissue being regulated; for example, the brain’s control of a leg muscle or the pituitary gland’s regulation of the thyroid gland  
🗑
Epidemiology   show
🗑
show refers to a disease of undetermined cause  
🗑
show short for “proteinaceous infectious particles,” which are proteins that convert proteins of the cell into different proteins and the altered form of the protein may then be inherited; may act as a pathogen, forming abnormal protein tangles in brain cells  
🗑
Ions   show
🗑
show process of changing a signal such as a hormone or neurotransmitter into another form such as enzymatic reaction within the cell receiving the signal  
🗑
Hydrogen bonds   show
🗑
Chromatin   show
🗑
Microfilaments   show
🗑
Three basic types of chemical reactions   show
🗑
show chemical reaction that combines two or more reactants to form a more complex structure  
🗑
show chemical reaction that breaks down a compound and then synthesizes a new compound by switching portions of the molecules  
🗑
Intermediate filaments   show
🗑
show is made up of broad, flattened sacs that extend outward from the boundary of the nucleus  
🗑
show anabolic process by which molecules are joined to form larger molecules; often called condensation reaction because it joins molecules together into a denser mass  
🗑
show compound that combines with an acid or with a base to form a weaker acid or base, thereby lessening the change in hydrogen ion concentration that would occur without the buffer; often operates as buffer pairs  
🗑
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)   show
🗑
Endoderm   show
🗑
show middle layer of the primary germ layers; gives rise to such structures as muscle, bones, and blood vessels  
🗑
show outermost of the primary germ layers that develops early in the first trimester of pregnancy; gives rise to the skin and the nervous system  
🗑
Proteins   show
🗑
Glycoproteins   show
🗑
show large molecule made up of a protein strand that forms a backbone to which are attached many carbohydrate molecules  
🗑
show complex sugar or starch, such as glycogen and plant starches; made up of many monosaccharides  
🗑
show 1. Apocrine 2. Holocrine 3. Merocrine  
🗑
Stratum basal   show
🗑
show raised underlying dermal papillae; form fingerprints  
🗑
Stratum spinosum   show
🗑
Stratum granulosum   show
🗑
show “clear” layer of the epidermis, in thick skin between the stratum granulosum and the stratum corneum  
🗑
show tough outer layer of the epidermis; cells are filled with keratin  
🗑
Eumelanin   show
🗑
show type of melanin pigment that is reddish in color  
🗑
Diaphysis   show
🗑
Epiphyses   show
🗑
show either of a pair of cartilages found in the supporting framework of the larynx  
🗑
show tough, connective tissue covering the bone  
🗑
Medullary cavity   show
🗑
show cartilage growth following mitosis and secre-tion of matrix by chondrocytes; interstitial growth of epiphyseal plate results in growth in length of long bones  
🗑
Appositional growth   show
🗑
Endochondral ossification   show
🗑
Intramembranous ossification   show
🗑
Ossification centers   show
🗑
show where a blood vessel enters the cartilage of a developing bone at the midpoint of the diaphysis to initiate bone formation  
🗑
show growth center located in the epiphyses of long bones  
🗑
Metaphysis   show
🗑
Synarthroses   show
🗑
show slightly movable joint such as the one that connects the two pubic bones  
🗑
Diarthroses   show
🗑
Gomphoses   show
🗑
show fibrous joint  
🗑
Synchondroses   show
🗑
Biaxial joints   show
🗑
Multiaxial joints   show
🗑
show articulation of the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna  
🗑
Radiocarpal joints   show
🗑
Intercarpal joints   show
🗑
show skeletal articulation between a wrist (carpal) bone and hand (metacarpal) bone  
🗑
show articulation that exists between the heads of the phalanges and the bases of the more distal phalanges  
🗑
show inflammation of the prepatellar bursa; also called “housemaid’s knee”  
🗑
show a type of Schwann cell (neuroglial cell) that sur-rounds the cell bodies of neurons of the peripheral nervous system  
🗑
show type of muscle contraction in which the muscle sustains the same tension or pressure and a change in the distance between two bones occurs  
🗑
show level of homeostatic control of body processes that occurs within cells, as in genetic regulation or enzymatic regulation of the cell  
🗑
