    to help with gas exchange ("breathing" through their skin)

    amphibians skin is smooth and moist and reptile skin is dry and scaly
  43. How many heart chambers do birds and mammals have?
    4-chambers
  44. How many heart chambers do amphibians and some reptiles have?
    3 chambers
  45. What is an advantage of a 4-chamber heart?
    Their is seperation of exygenated and deoxygenated blood so only oxygenated blood is pumped out to the body
  46. animals that rely on the environment to maintain their body temperature (cold-blooded)
    ectothermic
  47. animals that can generate their own heat (warm-blooded)
    endothermic
  48. What classes of animals are ectothermic
    fish, amphibians and reptiles
  49. what classes of animals are endothermic?
    birds and mammals
  50. what is the organization of bodies beginning with organelles?
    organalles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organism
  51. Recognizes & coordinates the body's response to changes in its internal and external environments.
    Nervous system
  52. Supports the body; protects internal organs; allows movement (when combined with a muscular system); stores mineral reserves; site of blood cell production
    skeletal system
  53. system that breaks down food into simpler molecules that can be used by the cells of the body; absorbs food; eliminates waste
    digestive system
  54. Brings oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, fights infection; helps regulate body temperature
    circulatory system
  55. System that provides oxygen for the body and removes carbon dioxide from the body
    respiratory system
  56. Eliminates nitrogen waste (urine) from the body to maintain water balance
    excretory system
  57. works with skeletal system to help with movement; helps to circulate blood and move food through the digestive system
    muscular system
  58. controls growth, development, and metabolism; maintains homeostasis
    endocrine system
  59. protects the body from disease, collects fluid lost from blood vessels and returns the fluid to the circulatory system
    lymphatic system
  60. barrier against infection and injury; helps regulate body temperature; protects against UV rays from the sun

    integumentary system
  70. What is the external reproductuve structure on the earthworm?
    clitellum
  71. why does the small intestine have tiny folds on the inside of it?
    it increases the surface area of the intestine so more nutrients can be absorbed
  72. small folds on the inside of the small intestine
    villi
  73. Why is there an abundance of blood vessels attached to the outside of the small intestine?
    because nutrients that are absorbed by the small intestine immediately enter the bloodstream and go to the rest of the body
  74. why do frogs and earthworms lay so many eggs?
    Because there is no parental protection so it ensures that some survive.
  75. blood is not contained in a network of vessels and is inside the body cavities
    open circulation
  76. blood travels throughout the body in vessels
    closed circulation

    digestion/nutrition
  83. what life function is being described: production and growth of offpsring?
    reproduction and development
  84. what is the pathway of food in a frog and fetal pig?

    crop and gizzard
  86. stores food in an earthworm
    crop
  87. grinds of breaks down the food in an earthworm
    gizzard
  88. What animal phylum contains the most # of organisms?
    arthropada
  89. similar parts branch out in all directions from a central line (like the spokes on a bicycle tire).
    radial symmetry
  90. two halves on either side of a central plane are similar
    bilateral symmetry
