TEASE Science Study Prep

Mainly repository and digestive system

Pepsin

An enzyme produced in the stomach that breaks down proteins into peptides, aiding in digestion.

Where does photosynthesis occur in the plant cell?

Chloroplast

Amylase

An enzyme found in saliva and the pancreas that breaks down starches into sugars, facilitating carbohydrate digestion.

Lipase

Breaks down lipids

Maltase

Breaks down maltose into glucose

confounding variable

outside variable that is related to both the indepepdant and dependant variable.

Turbidity

Cloudiness of a fluid caused by the presence of suspended particles. (it interferes with water clarity)

Alveoli

Tiny air sacs responsible for gas exchange

Trachea

Windpipe, Conducts air to and from the lungs

Brochioles

Small airways that lead to the aveoli. Get air to where they need to be

Nasopharynx

Filter and humidify air

Diaphragm

Responsible for breathing rate a depth (inhale and exhale)

Mendulla Oblongata

Sends signals to help control breathing

Bronchi

Large airways that direct air passage to aveoli. Branch of the trachea

Small intestine

Responsible for digestion and absorption

Large Intestine

Absorb water and electrolytes , helps compact waste for secretion

Renal Vein

Drains oxygen depleted blood from the kidneys

Renal Artery

Carries oxygen rich blood to the kidney

Urether

Carries urine to the bladder

Renal Pelvis

Funnel shaped structure, main collection basin for urine from the calyces and passes to the ureter

Left ventricle

CHamber of the heart wall with the thickest myocardium

Erythropoietin

Asssits in raising hemoglobin levels in the blood

Macrophages

Breaks down red blood cells in the spleen

Thrombin

Enzymes that converts fibrinogen to fibrin during clot formation

Calcitonin

Lowers blood calcium levels

Lutenizing hormone

stimulates ovulation in females and testosterone production in males

Follicle- Stimulating hormone

Formation of ova and sperm

Estrogen

Steroid hormone, develops female sex characteristics

Progesterone

Helps maintain urinary lining so period is not triggered

Sodium Bicarbonate (from pancreases)

Neutralizes activity of chyme

Bile

Produced by the liver and secreted by the gallbladder, emulsifies fat

Bone

matrix containing collagen and mineral salts, provides support and protection

Adipose tissue

Loose connective tissue, helps store fat

Cartilage

Gel like matrix, (no mineral component)

Ligaments

Connects bone to bone

innate immune system

rapid, non specific first line defense present at birth

Adaptive immune system

Creates specialized memory cells from future infections. Has to be exposed to pathogen for activation

Lub:

AV valve closes

Dub

Semilunar valve closes

Ectoderm

outermost layer of an embryo

secretin

stimulates the release on biocarbonate from the pancrease to neutralize stomach acid
