Front Back
Sensory Input
taking info from internal and external and environment- stimuli, noise, light.
Integration
interpretation of those sensory signals (receive stimuli, send to brain)
Motor Output
sends signals to various effectors (muscle cell, move your arm)
Neuron
nerve cell, incredibly specialized in order to send info. can never regenerate
Cell body
has dendrites that comes off body, connect to other neuro-cells
Dendrite
dendrite-cell body- axon
Myelin Sheath
covers axon (sausage). provides insulation, send signals to nervous system
Node of Ranvier
naked axon
Synapse
space between end of axon and dendrites
Resting Neuron
sitting and not doing anything, has electrical charge on inside and outside of cell (Na + positive on outside, inside K negative)
Charge Reversal
membrane physically altered, NA+ go in,
Synaptic Knob
end of dendrite, receives info. Chemicals are released and move across space into receptor sites
Central Nervous System
brain & spinal cord only, connected
Peripheral Nervous System
every other organ, contains Autonomic NS (sympathetic and parasympathetic) and Somatic NS
Autonomic
(part of peripheral) internal, INVOLUNTARY (breathing, digestion... etc) has parasynthetic and sympathetic
Sympathetic
EXCITES, prepares body for intense activities- FIGHT OR FLIGHT. (decrease digestion?)
Parasympathetic
inhibits. relaxes body to conserve energy
Somatic NS
external world- voluntary!!! you have control.
Reflex
carry info into and out of the brain, very simple response to stimuli. UNCONSCIOUS response (Sensory neuron to spinal cord) When touching nail- sensory neuron, interneuron (inside spinal cord), motor neuron
Hindbrain
next to spinal cord has Pons and Medulla, and cerebellum
Pons & Medulla
control breathing, regulate heartbeat, swallow, coordinate digestion, whole body movements
Cerebellum
planning center for Coordination, maintain balance, connect w/ ear
Ingestive feeders
things are eaten, ingested, plants/animal/combo (omnivore, carnivore, herbivore)
Ingestion
takes food in
Digestion
breaks food down, small enough to absorb
Absorption
body absorbs, takes food in (small intestine)
Elimination
undigestive waste material passes out
Alimentary Canal
tubes the runs between 2 openings (mouth and anus... usually 1 direction)
Mouth
saliva reflex
Mucin
glycoprotien- protects organism, lubricates to help go down (sharp chip)
Buffers
utilize various food acids to kill bacteria (pH 1-6 acidic, 7 neutral, 8+ basic)
Digestive enzyme
Salivary amylase- used to break down big stuff in MOUTH (starch)
Teeth
provide chemical breakdown
Incisors
30-32 bite down
Canines
grab and tear food (vampire teeth) "make sure it won't get away"
Premolars
flat, grinding and crushing
Molars
grinding and crushing (wisdom teeth- don't need anymore)
Tongue
contains taste buds, allow you to taste things, makes bolus (ball of food)
Epiglottis
lays down over trachea so food can go into esophagus
Esophagus/Trachea
to stomach/to lung
Peristasos
muscle ring in esophagus that forces the bolus down
Stomach (what's in it)
lots of MUCUS, HYDROCHLORIC ACID (give tummy pH of 2, very acidic!) , PEPSINOGEN (in presence of HCL makes pepsin (enzyme) that specifically breaks down protien!! and ADIC CHYME... from stomach to small intestine
Pancreas
adds sodium bicarbonate (acid neutralizer) so it does not burn whole in small intestine, has Digestive enzymes
Liver
adds bile, breaks down fats, stored in gall bladder
Villus/Villi
cross cell membrane into particular villus, more into blood supply so body can process and store things -microvilli on TOP of villi, help ABSORB nutrients. Remove glucose- convert into glycogen. liver stores this, no organism can absorb everything they eat.
Large Intestine aka colon
Where un-digested stuff goes... RE-absorbs water (dries out undigested stuff)
Animal Gas Exchange: Transport
circulatory system where gases diffuse, which is how it's moved
Animal Gas Exchange: Servicing Individual Cells
exhale, pick up oxygen and get rid of CO2
Respiratory Surfaces
oxygen going to diffuse cell membrane, CO2 diffuses back out (bring O in, CO2 out). oxygen must 1st dissolve in WATER... respiratory services must be moist1
Integumentary Exchange
earthworms/flatworms, exchange gas, produce mucus under skin so it stays moist
Counter-current flow
as water flows from front of gills to back, across gill structures the fish is able to extract that dissolved O2, while the blood goes the other way. (80% of O2 in water fish gain).
Tracheal Systems
bugs have HARD exoskeleton, surface of insect- trachea (tubes). Spiracles- hole on outside of animal. Trachea- tube under spiracles that leads to tracheoles (branches) that are moist so they can cross cell membrane. Air goes into those and O2 diffuses (can't work in big things b/c not eff…
Lungs- terrestrial vertebrates
Amphibians have lungs, circulatory system
Direction of gases (larger animals)
enter body through nostrils-> through mouth cavity -> thorugh bone layers lined w/ cells (heats and filters air) -> back of mouth (pharnyx) -> trachea (tube that w/ cartildge rings that keep open, on top is larnyx w/ vocal cords)-> teachea has 2 branches that lead to lungs, where bronchus…
Inhale
ib cage and chest cavity moves up, lungs expand up and out, diaphram increases volume of the lung, air pressure of lungs are low to air pressue. Bring in CO2, picking up O2, (picked up by red blood cells)
Exhale
ribs contract, chest cavity towards backbone, diaphragm goes back up, increase pressure inside lungs, and air comes out
Thalamus
sorts data from everywhere and decide what is and isn't important
Hypothalamus
control secretion for hormones, regulate body temp, hunger, fight/flight
Epithalamus
pineal gland, hooked to eyes- allows your sense of day/night and activity/non-activity, awake/asleep
Cerebrum
center of consciousness and intelligence, responsible for everything we do
Pain receptors
activated when tissue damage occurs
Thermoreceptors
one for heat, one for cold
Mechanoreceptors
when cells are stretched, bent, or pressure applies
Chemoreceptors
aste buds and smell sensor
Electromagnetic Receptors
send wave lengths to electromagnetic spectrum
Cornea
transparent, helps focus light. (Sclera - same layer "the whites of the eyes") Choroid- inside sclera same layer as iris
Iris
Colored portion
Pupil
control light going in from pupil to back of retina
Retina
inside choroid layer, photoreceptors for color
Optic Nerve
axons/dendrites present so you can figure out what your looking at o Blind spot- focusing light on blind spot where there are no photoreceptors
Vitreous Humor
allow eye to have 3d shape
Rods
allow only to see in black and white, sensitive to light, allow to see in dark
Cones
stimulated by very bright light, allow you to see in color, see incredibly sharp detail
Pinna
made of cartilage, acts as cone to funnel sound waves
Tympanic Membrane
eardrum "drum head"
Auditory Canal
sounds bounces to reach eardrum (vibrates at eardrunm)
Eustachian tube
connects to back of throat that allows equalization of pressure (airplane) so eardrum doesn’t blow out
Cochlea
fluid inside move back and forth, hair cells bend the sound, this makes the membrane move, which causes an AP to the brain (cerebrum)
Animal Circulation
carry various waste products to betaken out, NEED blood
Open Circulatory System
invertebrates- shrimp, spiders, insects. pumped from REAR to FRONT... their blood sloshes around inside of them, not EFFICIENT.
Hemolymph
blood in open circulatory, does NOT transport oxygen, doesn't carry gas, no color, does not need RBC
Closed Circulatory System
Vertebrates INTERNAL structure system, cardiovascular system- network of vessels. Heart--> gas exchange area -->back to heart--> to entire organism--> back to heart
Arteries
carry blood AWAY from heart, (usually) oxygen rich
Veins
RETURN blood to the heart (O2 poor)
Capillaries
RBC can move through single file, come in contact with every cell so it can be serviced
Human Heart
right below breast- Sac called pericardium- provides protection and lubrication
2 Identical Halves in the Heart
2 left- ATRIA. 2 right- ventricles
Pulmonary Circulation (RLL)
blood flow from RIGHT side of the heart -> to LUNG -> to LEFT side o heart
Systemic Circulation (LRR)
flow from LEFT side of heart--> REST of organism-> RIGHT side of heart
Anterior Vena Cava
veins head and shoulders
Posterior Vena Cava
veins REST of body
Atrioventricular Value
blood flows in one direction only. Contracts, forces blood in to RIGHT ventricle
Semilunar valve
one way valve, goes out pulmonary artery
Pulmonary veins
highly oxygenated RETURN blood from heart -> atrioventricular valve
Direction of blood for heart
right ventricle to lung- left ventricle pumps to rest of the body.
Aorta
immediatetly off this are the coronary arteries which supply blood to heart muscle itself
Blood
45% cellular element of blood, 55% plasma (water, salts, protiens, nutrients, waste products- CO2, cellular communication- hormones
RBC
Erythrocyte- the most numerous blood cells. Structure- by concave disk, allows more surface area, which allows more oxygen to be carried.
Red Bone Marrow
make erythrocytes
Hemoglobin
protien & iron, oxygen temporarily binds with hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin (bright red), (carbon monoxide mimics oxygen , hemoglobin is fooled by picking up CO and never let go)
Heart Attacks
when heart muscles dies, coronary arteries get blocked, and the heart will not get blood
Blood Clot
platelets, parts or RBCs
Myocardial Infarction
"muscle of the heart" coronary artery becomes clogged with cholesterol. Plaque can be laid down over years and clog it
