1
New cards
circulatory system
also known as the cardiovasculat system. transport oxygen, and needed nutrients to the body cell
2
New cards
red blood cell
function is to deliver blood to the cells/organ. from hemoblogin, bone narrow.

\
3

rbc
erythrocytes
6
New cards
wbc

7
New cards
platelets
thrombocytes
8
New cards
plasma
liquid portion of blood, constitues 55% of the blood volume
9
New cards
heart
for pumping blood
10
New cards
4 chambers of heart
left atrium, right atrium, left ventrecles, right ventrecles
11
New cards
blood vessels
are the pathways that enables the blood to travel throughoyt the body
12
New cards
veins
thin wakked blood vessel that deliver deoxygenated blood back to the heart
13
New cards
arteries
thick walled blood vessels that transfort blood away from the heart
14
New cards
capillaries
are very narrow blood vessels though which the diffusion of materials from the blood sorroundings tissues mostly occur
15
New cards
pulmonary circulation
deoxygenated and waste-containing blood from the right ventricle of the heart is carried to thr lungs via pulmonary artery
16
New cards

systemic circulation

oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricles into the aorta

17
New cards
respiratory system
main function is to supply blood with oxygen throughout the breathing
18
New cards
trachea
the tube that enters the chest cavity, and from there.
19
New cards
bronchi
splits into smaller tubes called?
20
New cards
alveoli
the bronchial tubes connect to the tiny sacs, air filled sacs, are sorrounded bt capillaries
21
New cards
diaphragm
s sheet of muscles that lies across, pumos the carbon dioxide out of the lungs and then pulls the oxygen gas into the lungs
22
New cards

genes

considered the basic unit of inheritance

23
New cards

medelian gene

is a basic unit of heridity

24
New cards

molecular gene

is a sequence of necleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produced a functional rna

25
New cards

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid

26
New cards

DNAA

the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism

27
New cards

RNA

Ribonucleic acid

28
New cards

RNAA

is a molecule that is present in the majority of living organisms and viruses.

29
New cards

chromosome

is a long DNA molecule with part of all the genetic material of an organism to most blank

30
New cards

heridity

also called inheritage or biological inheritance, is the passing out an of traits from parents to their offspring

31
New cards

asexual reproduction

s a mode of reproduction in which a new offspring is produced by a single parent.

32
New cards

sexual reproduction

occurs when the sperm from the male parent fertilizes an egg from the female parent, producing an offspring that is genetically different from both parents

33
New cards

23 chromosomes

how many chromosomes are there in human?

34
New cards

46 chromosomes

total of chromosomes

35
New cards

somatic cells

make up most of the body tissues and organs

36
New cards

karyotype

refers to the complete set of chromosomes in an individual

37
New cards

nucleus

23 pairs of chromosomes are found in the blank of only one eukaryotic cell in our body

38
New cards

sex cell

are hapload cells that are produced by meoisis

39
New cards

meoisis

sex cell are haplod cell that are produced by?

40
New cards

gene

is a specific region of DNA that contaions the code for a particular peice of genetic information of organisms

41
New cards

incomplete dominance

occurs when one allele for a specific trait is not completely dominant over the other allele

42
New cards

codominance

happens when both alelles are equally strong and as an effect both alleles are visible hybrid

43
New cards

multiple alleles

only two alleles that could contribute to any one trait which the plant showed

44
New cards

sex linked traits

characteristics determine by genes located on the sec chromosomes

45
New cards

XX chromosome

chromosome for girls

46
New cards

XY chromosome

chromosome for boys

47
New cards

traits

unique characteristics

48
New cards

x-linked dominant

fragile x syndrome

49
New cards

biodiversity

refers to the existence of many species of plants and animals in a specific environment or habitat

50
New cards

IUCN

international union for the conversion of nature

51
New cards

cornifers

also known as “conferophyta

52
New cards

gymnosperm

comes from the greek word “gymnos” naked and “sperma” seed, here known as “naked seeds”

53
New cards

brittlecone pines

the worlds oldest trees are the 5,000-yearsold

54
New cards

evolution

it is the changes of ones environment’s or sorroundings

55
New cards

NGO

non goverment organization

56
New cards

climate change

many species cannot readily adapt themselves to the obrupt changes in the global blank conditions

57
New cards

overpopulation

the species does not have enough space to live since humanity has taken over the environments

58
New cards

changes in the sea levels or currents

the melting of polars ice & glacier due to global narming can directly add water volume in the melting iceberg can also cayse reciding shortlines as typhoons and storm surges also do
