The nervous system _____ and ______ to your external and internal environment and helps your body maintain ______.
senses, responds, homeostasis
A nerve cell is called
a neuron
______ ______ carry an impulse o a muscle cell. ________ send the impulse from one neuron to the next neuron across a _____ between neurons.
Two neurons, Neurotransmitters, synapse
the electrical portion of a nerve impulse is when the ____ _____ membrane builds p negative charges along _____ to the ___ ___, to the ____, to the ___ ____.
outer neuron, dendrites, cell body, axon, end knobs
The chemical portion of a nerve impulse involves proteins called _______.
neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters released by the end knobs of one nerve cell diffuse across the space between neurons called the ______.
synapse
Neurotransmitters are received by ____ ______ in the dendrites (which are a part of the ____ ____) of the next nerve cell.
receptor molecules, cell membrane
The shape of dendrite _____ determines which ______ it can receive.
receptors, neurotransmitter
The main organs of the ____ are the _____ and ____ ______. Both are made of _______.
CNS, brain, spinal cord, interneurons
Interneurons form many _____ and connections to nearby ______.
dendrites, interneurons
The brain has three major parts:
The cerebrum, the cerebellum, the brain stem
The _____ controls voluntary actions and conscious thought.
cerebrum
The _______ controls coordination and balance.
cerebellum
The _____ _____ controls involuntary actions such as breathing.
brain stem
The ___ ____ controls _____ are relays nerve impulses between the brain and ______.
spinal cord, reflexes, body
The main organs of the _____ ____ ____ are the sensory nerves made of ____ _____ and the motor nerves made of _____ _____.
peripheral nervous system, sensory neurons, motor neurons
____ ______ (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin) are ______ which receive a _______ and connect to ______ _____.
Sense organs, receptors, stimulus, sensory neurons
____ _____ carry nerve impulses to brain and/or spinal cord.
Sensory neurons
____ ______ carry nerve impulses away from brain/and or spinal cord and connect to _____ (muscles or glands).
Motor neurons, effectors
Effectors perform a _____ (usually involving muscle movement or hormone secretion).
response
True or False: Neurons move through the body.
FALSE!!! Nerve impulses are sent along neuron pathways. Neurons do not move.
True or False: A stimulus or a response is the same thing as a nerve impulse.
FALSE!! A stimulus (light or sound) triggers a nerve impulse to be sent. The response is what happens as a result of the nerve impulse reaching a muscle (you move) or glands (you secrete hormones).
The Endocrine System uses ____ to _____ the body. Helps body to maintain ______ (stable internal environment).
hormones, body, homeostasis
A hormone is a ____ ____ (protein) secreted by endocrine _____.
chemical messenger, glands
Hormones are carried from the ____ _____ to the ___ tissue by the blood.
endocrine glands, target
Hormones are ____ than nerve impulses, but have longer lasting ______.
slower, effects
Hormone levels are controlled by _____ _____. Feedback mechanisms respond to ____ in the body, and can use ______ to return levels back to normal.
feedback mechanisms, changes, hormones
An important feedback mechanism controls the _____ level in your ______.
glucose, blood
Homeostasis is maintained using what?
Feedback mechanisms
_____ mechanisms are _____ in which the product of one reaction causes another to start/stop.
Feedback, cycles
While organisms are balanced, they are not unchanging. The term used to describe the balanced state is ___ _______.
dynamic equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium
A balanced state created by many small, opposing changes.
_____ ______ on the surface of the cell membrane receive ______. As with all proteins, it’s the shape of the ____ _____ that determines which hormone can interact with a cell.
Receptor molecules, hormones, receptor molecule
____ ______ in the cell membrane only accept hormones of the correct shape. This is a good example of the _____ and _____ method.
Receptor molecules, lock and key
The ______ is the “master gland” located in the ____. It releases several hormones which often control other _____ ____ in the body.
pituitary, brain, endocrine glands
What hormones does the pituitary gland release?
TSH, FSH. LH, GH, and ADH
TSH
Controls the thyroid glands
FSH
Controls ovaries
LH
Controls testes
GH
Growth hormone that stimulates growth and metabolism
ADH
Helps kidneys control water balance
What are the sex hormones?
Testosterone (male), estrogen and progesterone (female)
What are made in the ovaries (females) and testes (males)
Testosterone (testes), estrogen and progesterone (ovaries)
The ______ makes _____ and _____ which control the level of sugar in the blood.
pancreas, insulin, glycogen
When blood sugar level is too high, more insulin is released which causes cells to take in ______. When blood sugar is too low, more _____ is released which causes the liver to release stored glucose (_____) into the blood.
glucose, insulin, glycogen
The _____ glands responds to thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) that is related by the ____ _____. TSH causes the thyroid to release _____ which controls the body’s ________.
thyroid, pituitary gland, thyroxine, metabolism
The _____ glands produce _____ (epinephrine) which increased ____ ____ and heart rate. This readies the body for urgent action by increasing ____ _____ which carried the oxygen and glucose needed for cellular respiration to the body cells.
adrenal, adrenaline, breathing rate, blood flow
The _____ _____ removes ____ _____. Metabolic wastes are produced during ____ _____ by the cells of the body.
excretory system, metabolic wastes, chemical reactions
The waste of your cells include
Carbon dioxide, water, urea, and salts
_____ excrete ____ _____ and ____ ____ (wastes made during cellular respiration).
Lungs, carbon dioxide, water vapor
The _____ excretes water and salts as _____ (sweat also helps to cool the body).
skin, sweatx
The ____ _____ wastes out of the blood and then excretes water and urea as other substances as _______.
kidneys filter, urine
Kidneys control the amount of _____ in your body.
water
The ____ ____ _____, filters toxins and dead red blood cells from the ____.
liver makes urea, blood
The Urinary System
Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra
True or False: Insulin (and glycogen) directly controls blood sugar (glucose) levels. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by causing sugar to be taken into the body cells.
True!
True or False: The kidneys make urea.
FLASE!!! The liver changes ammonia to urea. Urea is then transported by the blood to the kidneys. the kidneys filter wastes from the blood to make urine.
