Additional Biology Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term

 

 

 

1. Composition of Blood:Red Blood Cells/Erythrocytes

Definition

 

 

 

 

Transport O2 and Co2 to and from the body's tissue

Term

 

 

 

2. Composition of Blood: White Blood Cell

Definition

 

 

 

Body's defense against invading foreign microrganisms

Term

 

 

 

3. Composition of Blood: Platelets

Definition

 

 

 

Initiates blood clotting

Term

 

 

 

4. Composition of Blood: Plasma

Definition

 

 

 

Fluid part of blood such as hormones, waste, water etc

Term

 

 

 

Antigens

Definition

 

 

 

Surface proteins that our body recognizes as its own/stimulates the immune system of an organism to defend that organism

Term

 

 

 

Anit-bodies

Definition

 

 

 

Proteins that attack unknown/foreign objects

Term

 

 

 

RH factor

Definition

 

 

 

Surface antigen in blood

Term

 

 

 

1. The layers of the heart: Paricardium

Definition

 

 

 

Protective layer that encases the heart

Term

 

 

 

2. Layers of the heart: Epicardium

Definition

 

 

 

Outer epithelial and connective tissue layer

Term

 

 

 

3. Layers of the heart: Myocardium

Definition

 

 

 

Consist the bulk of the cardiac muscle

Term

 

 

 

4. Layers of the heart: Endocardium

Definition

 

 

 

Innermost connective tissue layer

Term

 

 

 

Atrial Fibrilation

Definition

 

 

 

No P wave because SA node does not depolarize the atria. Heart still beat because of AV node

Term

 

 

 

Ventricular Fibrillation

Definition

 

 

 

Vetricles don't depolarize so heart can't get the contraction needed to get blood to body. No action potential causes death. 

Term

 

 

 

1. Blood Pressure: Systolic Pressure

Definition

 

 

 

Pressure ventricles exert to get blood out of the heart (high blood pressure)

 

Term

 

 

 

2. Blood Pressure: Diastolic Pressure

Definition

 

 

 

Pressure of atria and ventricles at rest

Term

 

 

 

Path of Light

Definition

 

 

 

Light travels to cornea, pupil, lens, then retina

Term

 

 

 

Sheep's eye parts

Definition

1. Cornea (Big blue circle)

2. Sclera (Outer white area of big blue circle)

3. Optic Nerve (a skinny tail that sticks out from the schlera)

4. Iris (Outer layer of the pupil)

5. Pupil (inner circle layer that is brownish)

6. Choroid (2 black parts from the sides)

7. Retina (white tan part)

8. Lens (perfect blue circle)

Term

 

 

 

Brain function and lobes

Definition

1. Frontal lobe (motor control, smell, taste etc)

2. Parietal lobe (touch and pressure;language)

3. Occipital lobe (vision)

4. Temporal lobe (hearing and facial recognition)

Term

 

 

 

1. Neuroanatomy: Central Nervous System

Definition

 

 

 

Brain and spinal cord

Term

 

 

 

2. Neuroanatomy: Periphical Nervous System

Definition

 

 

 

Sensory nerves, motor nerves (somatic division, autonomic division)

Term

 

 

 

1. Respiration: Inspiration

Definition

 

 

 

Diaphram contracts, pressure in lung falls below atmospheric pressure, making air flow into the lungs

Term

 

 

 

2. Respiration: Expiration

Definition

 

 

 

Diaphram relaxes making pressure in lungs increase relative to atmosphere pressure and air flows out of lungs

Term

 

 

 

1. Tissues: Epithelial Tissue

Definition

 

 

 

Line/cover surfaces of the body and body cavities Looks like red blood cells in microscope

Term

 

 

 

2. Tissues: Connective Tissue

Definition

 

 

 

Supports the soft organs

Looks like purple connected tree branches in microscope

Term

 

 

 

3. Tissue: Muscle Tissue

Definition

 

 

 

Used to shorten and contract (cardiac, skeletal, and smooth)

All red in microscope

Term

 

 

 

4. Tissue: Nervous tissue

Definition

 

 

 

Generate electrical signals

Looks like pink and tan balloons in microsope
