Ather
part of the stamen that contains pollen
Circulatory function
Transport materials to and from cells
circulatory system
consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood
cross-pollination
a reproductive process in which pollen from one plant is transferred to the stigma of another plant
digestive functions
processes and digests food, absorbs and conserves water, absorbs nutrients, stores energy reserves
digestive system
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
endocrine function
controls growth, development, and metabolism; maintains homeostasis
endocrine system
consists of hypothalamus, pineal gland, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, thymus, adrenal glands, and pancreas
excertory system
kidney, uterus, urinary bladder, and urethra
Excretory function
eliminates waste products; helps maintain homeostasis
filament
Supports the anther
flower
reproductive part of the plant and makes seeds
fruit
protects the seeds and helps with seed dispersal
Gravitropism
A growth response to gravity
Hydrotropism
a plants growth response to water; plant grows towards the water
immune function
the body's normal ability to fight infection and illness with antibodies and lymphocytes
immune system
consists of cells that protect the body against viruses, bacteria, and other intruders
Integumentary Functions
protects against environmental hazards, helps regulate body temperature, provides sensory information
integumentary system
Consists of the skin, mucous membranes, hair, and nail
leaf
The major sites of photosynthesis in most plants.
Muscular function
works with skeletal system to produce voluntary movement; helps to circulate blood and move food through the digestive system
Muscular System
Consists of skeletal muscles, tendons that connect muscles to bones, and ligaments that attach bones together to form joint
nervous function
Conduct impulses for coordination, regulation, integration, and sensory reception
nervous system
brain, spinal cord, nerves
nonvascular plants
Plants that lack a well-developed system of tubes for transporting water and other materials
Ovary
A flower structure that encloses and protects ovules and seeds as they develop.
Phleom
Carries food and other material both up and down the plant
Phtotropism
growth towards light, normally positive towards light
Pistil (female)
the female reproductive organ of a flower that can be fertilized by pollen
plant asexual reproduction
reproduction without the fusion of sex cells, resulting identical offspring and parent
plant sexual reproduction
reproduction that involves two parents and produces offspring that are different from either parent
pollinator
an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another
reproduction function
to produce sex cells (meiosis) that function in creating new humans in fertilization (sex)
Reproduction system
for males consist of testis,penis while for female ovares, filmina, uterus and vagina
Respiratory function
Provides oxygen needed for cellular respiration and removes excess carbon dioxide from the body
Respitory system
lungs, trachea and diaphragm
root
absorb nutrients and water, anchors plant
self-pollination
the pollination of a flower by pollen from the same flower or from another flower on the same plant.
Skeletal Functions
provides support and protection for other tissues, stores calcium and other minerals, forms blood cells
skeletal system
consists of bones, cartilages, ligaments, and joints
Stamen (male)
male reproductive organ of a flower that produces pollen
stem
supporting structure that connects roots and leaves and carries water and nutrients between them
stigma
The receptive surface of the female organ of a flower that receives the pollen.
Stomata
A microscopic pore surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment and the interior of the plant.
Style
The stalk of a flower's carpel, with the ovary at the base and the stigma at the top.
Thimotropism
A growth response to touch
Tropism
A growth response of a plant toward or away from a stimulus
vascular plants
Plants that have tubes inside of them to transport liquid.
what type of cells regulate the stomata?
guard cells
Xylem
Transports water and nutrients to leaves
