-
Adaptive radiation
emergence of a # of lineages from a single ancestral species
-
sickle cell anemia caused by....?
a subst. of valine (GUA or GUG) for glutamic acid (GAA or GAG) in the coding of Hb
-
Cleavage
- early embryonic mitotic divisions that lead to an inc. in cell number not not cell protoplasm
- 1st cleavage 32 hours after fertilization
- 2nd 60 hours
- 3rd 72 (at which point the 8 celled embryo reaches the uterus)
-
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine
derived from the iodination of aa tyrosine necessary for growth and neuro development of children (increase rate of metabolism)
-
conditioned reflex
the response learned through pavlovian conditioning
-
Kidney filtration
- 20% of blood plasma entering glomerulus forced into surrounding bowman's capsule
- filtrateis is isotonic with blood plasma
- blood cells, proteins, and albumin remain in circulation system
-
Steroid hormones (examples)
- produced by : testes, ovaries, placenta, and adrenal cortex
- Bind to: specific receptor proteins in the cytoplasm
- Receptor-hormone complex enters the nucleus and binds to receptors on chromatin affecting transcription and future translation.
- estrogen and aldosterone
-
Endochondial ossification
Existing cartilage is replaced by bone
-
Interferons
proteins produced by cells under viral attack. They diffuse to other cells to prevent the spread of the virus
-
Gray Matter
(outer portion of the brain)
-
Jawless fish (examples)
- eel-like, retain the notochord
- cartilaginous internal skeleton
- sucking mouth
include class Agnatha (ex. lamprey, hagfish)
-
Reticular Activating system
the "startle response" and the many neurons involved.
-
Disjunction
- in meiosis homologous pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell '
- during anaphase
-
Protists resembling fungi
- slime molds often placed in fungi but more related to protists
- coenocytic (many nuclei) mass of protoplasm
- animal like and plant like life stages
- reproduce asexually by sporulation
-
Pancreatic enzymes
- amylase
- trypsin-protein digestion
- Lipase
-
Gastrin
- A hormone released by stomach when food ingested
- Gastrin carried to gastric glands where stimulates secretion of HCl
-
ACTH (regulated by..?)
- Adrenocorticotrophic hormone secreted by anterior pituitary gland
- stimulates productino of glucocorticoids and sex steroids but does not control aldosterone
- Regulated by: CRF (cortic trophin releasing factor)
-
Invertebrate NS: Annelida
- primitive CNS
- central nerve cord
- anterior brain of fused ganglia
- definite nerve pathways lead from receptors to effecters
-
LH
- In females---stimulates ovulation and formation of corpus luteum
- In males----stimulates interstitial cells to synthesize testosterone
-
Gastric Mucosa
lines the walls of the stomach and secretes mucus which protects the stomach linging from acidity. Also secrete pepsin, and HCl
-
Circulation in arthropods
open circulatory systems--blood in direct contact with tissues. Blood flows through a dorsal vessel and into spaces called sinuses where exhange occurs
-
Cnidarians (examples....)
- (Coelenterates)
- have a gastrovascular cavity (digestive sac closed at one end)
- 2 layers of cells (ectoderma and endoderm)
ex. hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, coral
