Classify Chondrichthyes (Sharks & Rays)
ovoviviparous, Jawed marine and freshwater fishes with skeleton of cartilage; vertebrae present; gills; placoid scale; two pairs of fins; ovoviviparous or viviparous (a few species); well-developed sense organs
Tetrapods and Terrestrial Vertebrates: with two complete ventricle; care for their young. birds have feathers; anterior limbs modified as wings; compact endothermic; vocal calls and complex songs
Protects Embryo- forms a fluid filled sac around embryo to keep it moist and acts as a cushion to protect the embryo
27

outer layer of skin or liner of cavity/ lumen of the intestine
35
New cards
What is the general function of Epthelium Tissue?
outer layer/linings of digestion, respiratory, excretory, and reproductive tracts
36
New cards
Epithelial Tissue
cells fitted together tightly to form a continuous layer or sheet of cells
37
New cards
what is an example of Connective Tissue?
collagen fiber, elastic fiber, or reticular fiber
38
New cards
what is the general function of Connective Tissue?
support other body structures
39
New cards
Connective Tissue
supports and cushions the frame work of the body
embedded in an extensive intercellular substance consisting of threadlike, microscopic fibers scattered throughout a thin gel of polysaccharides that the cells secrete
40
New cards
what is an example of Muscle Tissue?
Skeletal Muscle, Cardiac Muscle, and Smooth Muscle
41
New cards
what is the general function of Muscle Tissue?
movement by contraction
42
New cards
Muscle Tissue
cylindrical or spindle shaped cells
parallel contractile units- Myofibrils
43
New cards
Skeletal Muscles
large muscle masses attached to the bones of the body
44
New cards
Smooth Muscle
walls of the digestive tract, uterus, blood vessels, and other internal organs
contract of these muscles allow organs to preform funcitons
45
New cards
What is an example of Nervous Tissue?
Neuron and glial cells
46
New cards
What is general function of Nervous Tissue?
Controls muscles and glands
47
New cards
Nervous Tissue
receive and transmit signals
48
New cards
Cardiac Muscle
tissue of the heart
made up of complex networks
when muscles contract blood is pumped through the heart
49

50
New cards
Homeostasis
basic concept of physiology
the balanced internal environment
51
New cards
what is Negative Feedback System?
a change in some steady state which triggers a response that counteract, or reverse, the change
52
New cards
what is an example of Homeostasis Negative Feedback System?
normal body temperature
53
New cards
what is Positive Feedback System?
a change in some steady state sets off a response that intensifies the changing condition
54
New cards
what is an example of Homeostasis Positive Feedback System?
child birth
as a baby pushes on the cervix the uterus continues to contract until child is born
55
New cards
Sensor
Specialized Neurons detect change from set point
detects change of normal condition or set point
56
New cards
integrator
temperature regulating center in hypothalamus is body thermostat
57
New cards
Effector(s)
organ or process that helps restore to the steady state
endocrine cells release hormones that are transported to target cells by the blood
94
New cards
what is Neuroendocrine signaling?
neurons release neurohormones, which are transported by blood or diffuse through interstitial fluid
95
New cards
what is Autocrine signaling?
a hormone acts on the very cell that produce it
96
