Cards

Term
The fetal pig belongs to Class
Definition
Mammalia
Term
What characteristics to mammals share?
Definition
Hair, specialized teeth, axial and appendicular skeleton, head, neck, trunk, tail, limbs, bilateral symmetry, four chambered heart
Term
What is hair used for in mammals?
Definition
warmth, protection, camouflage, signal distress
Term
What to teeth show?
Definition
Mammal's diet
Term
What type of diet are pigs considered to be?
Definition
omnivores
Term
What are the two parts of the skeleton and what does each contain?
Definition
axial (skull, vertebrae, sternum, ribs)
appendicular (pectoral and pelvic girdles, and appendages)
Term
What are the two parts of the trunk?
Definition
thorax and abdomen
Term
What is the purpose of the muscular diaphragm?
Definition
aids in negative-pressure breathing and divides the thoracic and abdominal cavities
Term
What is the purpose of the four-chambered heart?
Definition
allows for double circulation of blood through two separate circuits
Term
What are the two circuits of the heart?
Definition
systemic circuit and pulmonary circuit
Term
What is the function of the systemic circuit?
Definition
runs throughout the body. Left atrium and left ventricle allow flow of blood
Term
What is the function of the pulmonary circuit?
Definition
runs through the lungs to obtain oxygen and dump waste (carbon dioxide). Right atrium and right ventricle allow blood flow
Term
What is endothermic?
Definition
ability to generate heat within the body
Term
What is homeothermic?
Definition
ability to maintain a constant and consistent internal temp
Term
What is bilateral symmetry?
Definition
animal can be divided into an equal mirror image (sagittal plane)
Term
What is Anterior?
Definition
Head region
Term
What is posterior?
Definition
tail region
Term
What is dorsal?
Definition
back region
Term
What is ventral?
Definition
belly region
Term
What is the purpose of streak plate technique?
Definition
to grow and isolate colonies of bacteria for observation
Term
How do you make a streak plate?
Definition
Sample of bacteria is taken and swabbed onto agar in a petri dish which allows the bacteria to grow.
The petri dish is sealed and put in the incubator overnight.
Term
What types of staining did we do?
Definition
Simple, negative, gram
Term
How do you simple stain?
Definition
draw circle on glass slide
place drop of water in center
flame the metal loop to clean
place loop in bacteria sample and spread throughout the water
fix the slide by running it over flame
place slide in stain
Term
How do you negative stain?
Definition
place drop of red congo dye in middle of drawn circle on slide
obtain bacteria and smear throughout the circle
observe
Term
Why negative stain?
Definition
it is a quick examination; the dye does not penetrate the cell; little cell distortion - accurate interpretation
Term
Why simple stain?
Definition
allows us to view bacteria we would otherwise be unable to see
Term
How do you gram stain?
Definition
Prepare mixed smear slide (simple stain technique)
place in crystal violet for 60 seconds, rinse
place in 95% ethyl alcohol for 30 seconds, blot
place in safranin for 10 seconds
wash and blot
Term
Why gram stain?
Definition
determines bacteria to be gram positive or gram negative
Term
gram positive
Definition
dark blue/purple
Term
gram negative
Definition
red
