Term
places where bones come close to other bones
Definition
joint
Term
strong material in the body,made of mineral salts, water, and tissues
Definition
bone
Term
inelastic connective tissue that ataches muscles to the bone
Definition
tendon
Term
fibrous material that is strong enough to support weight,but is flexable (tip of nose,ears, lines end of bone)
Definition
cartillage
Term
connective tissue that connects bones to one another
Definition
ligament
Term
material inbones where blood cells are made and stored
Definition
bone marrow
Term
smooth and compact bone lines he outside edge of bones
Definition
compact bone
Term
lighterstructor,more porous,contains more blood vessels then compact bone

honey comb pattern
Definition
cancellate bone-spongy bone
Term
heart muscle,is stiated and branced,pushes blood through the circulatory system
Definition
cardiac muscle
Term
found only in internal organs and blood vessels,pushes fluids and solids through the body

involuntary muscle
Definition
smooth muscles
Term
attached to bones by tendons,is striated or striped,for movment and posture


volutary muscles
Definition
skeletal muscle
Term
controls activities that conserve energy expenditures

controls various functions that include inhabiting heart rate, and constricting pupils
Definition
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Term
the flight or fight responce-(a resonce to portential danger)

speeds up heart rate,dilates pupils, and in metabolic rate
Definition
Sympatetic Nervous System
Term
an organism that uses oxygen for respiration
Definition
aerobe
Term
an organism adapted to live without oxygen
Definition
annerobe
Term
a large group of bacteria grouped by shape, structure, the way they obtain food, the type of food they eat, what waste products they produce, method of movement, and if they are aerobes or anarobes.
Definition
Eubacteria
Term
a group of producer eubacteria (makes it ownfood.)
Definition
Cyanobacteria
Term
live in extreme conditions (extremophiles) - high temperatures, high salt, high pressure, acidic.
Definition
Archaebacteria
Term
electrical impulses. These impulses pass from one neuron to another through connections called...
Definition
synapse
Term
The brain contains over _________ neurons.
Definition
100 billion
Term
Neurons are cells of the ______, ______, and ________. They look somewhat like an ________ with a long tail. Each neuron has _____ main parts.
Definition
neurons are cells of the BRAIN, SPINAL CORD, and NERVES. They look somewhat like an OCTOPUS with a long tail. Each neuron has THREE main parts.
Term
There are three main parts of the neuron and ______ tpes of neurons.
Definition
Three
Term
The three main parts of the neuron are: _______, ______, and _______.
Definition
The three main parts of the neuron are the cell body, dendrites, and axon.
Term
The cell body is....
Definition
the main part of the cell that includes the nucleus.
Term
Dendrites look like __________ extending off the cell body. They receive _________ messages.
Definition
Dendrites look like arms extending off the cell body. They receive INCOMING messages.
Term
An axon looks like ________ extending off the cell body. It carries __________ messages.
Definition
An axon looks like a TAIL extending off the cell body. It carries OUTGOING messages.
Term
A message carried by a neuron is called an ________.
Definition
impulse
Term
How does an impulse work/travel?
Definition
It travels by tiny bursts of electrical power. When an outgoing message reaches the end of the axon, the axon releases a special chemical called a NEUROTRANSMITTER, and the message jumps the sapce between neurons (called a SYNAPSE) and continues traveling along the dendrites of the new neuron.
Term
The three types of neurons are ________, ________, and ________.
Definition
Three types of neurons: sensory neurons, motor neurons, interneurons.
Term
What do sensory neurons do?
Definition
receive information and send impulses to the spinal cord and the brain.
Term
What do motor neurons do?
Definition
Motor neurons relay impulses from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands throughout your body.
Term
What do interneurons do?
Definition
Interneurons relay impulses between the sensory and motor neurons. INTER = BETWEEN.
Term
spiral-shaped(singular-spirillum)
Definition
spirilla
Term
whip like tail of many bacteria that help them move in most conditions
Definition
flagella
Term
a prosses of repriduction that produces 2 naw cells w/ geneticmaterial identicalto each other and that of the original cell
Definition
fission
