Hierarchy
organizational structure
complex stuff at the top
simple things at the bottom
animals four major tissues
epithelial tissues (skin)]
connective tissues
muscle tissues
nerve tissues
cellular differentiation
process which produces specialized cells
stem cells
a cell that can turn into different types of cells
2 stem cells
embryonic
tissues
embryonic cells
can turn into any kind of cell
tissues
exist with a certain kind of tissues
can only turn into certain types of cells
regeneration
a tissue being able to repair itself
tissue engineering
researching ways to regenerate human body tissue that do not normally regenerate
digestive system
takes in food, digest it and removes remaining waste
Mouth
Breaks down food mechanically and chemically
esophagus
connects the mouth to the stomach
has smooth muscle tissues which contract and relax
peristalsis
Moves food down to the stomach
stomach
holds food and churns it to continue the digestive process
circulatory system consist of…
blood
heart
blood vessels
circulatory system main function
transport nutrients and waste to and from body cells
regulates body temp
transport WBC to areas of bacteria
blood
type of connective tissue with four main parts
blood four main parts
red blood cells
white blood cells
platelets
plasma
platelets
tiny cells ~ help with blood clotting
Plasma
protein rich
help move blood cells along
The heart is made up of…
cardiac muscle tissue
nerve tissue
connective tissues
Arteries
take blood away from heart
veins
take blood to the heart
capillaries
connects arteries and veins
nutrients and oxygen are dropped off here
respiratory system
responsible for providing oxygen to the body and removing carbon dioxide
Pharynx
throat
trachea
windpipe
alveoli
air bags at the end of bronchi
surrounded by a network of capillaries
diaphragm
large sheet under the lungs
tuberculosis
Bacteria entering the lungs and spreading to the nervous system and bones
SARS
severe Acute Respiratory syndrome
a type of corona virus
Organs that can be donated
heart, liver, lung
pancreas, intestine
Tissues that can be donated
cornea, skin, bone
bone marrow, tendons, blood vessels
musculoskeletal system consist of
bone and muscle that move the body
skeleton main role
provided structure and support
provided anchor points for muscles
protects internal organs
skeleton consist of 3 connective tissues
Bones
Ligaments
Cartilage
Ligaments
connects bones together
Cartilage
prevents bone on bone rubbing
three types of muscles
skeletal muscle
smooth muscles
cardiac muscles
skeletal muscle
voluntary
are attached to the bones by tendons
smooth muscle
involuntary
found in intestine
cardiac muscle
involuntary
found in the heart
Nervous can be divided into two part
central nervous system (CNS)
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
central nervous system
The brain and spinal cord
Protected by bones
Cushioned by cerebrospinal fluid
Peripheral nervous system
Made up of the nerves that carry Signals between the central nervous system and the body
Nerve tissues
made up a special cells called neurons
found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
Neurons
Sends information around the body by conducting electrical signals
Sensory receptors
Specialize cells or tissues are received input from the external environment and sends signals along the Peripheral nerves to the CNS
Perception
nervous system is responsible
Making sense of the info we get from our environnement
endoskeleton
Skeleton on the inside of the body (humans)
Exoskeleton
Skeleton on the outside of the body (insects)
