Osmotic Regulation and Excretion
These invertebrates are hyperosmotic regulators
What are freshwater invertebrates?
These are changes in electrical charges that do not trigger action potentials
What are graded potentials?
This is the rest and digest response of the autonomic nervous system
What is the parasympathetic system?
These are the three types of sensory reception
What is electromagnetic, mechanical, and chemical?
This is the part of the bone that is responsible for creating new blood cells
What is the bone marrow?
These fish struggle with excess water and excrete large amounts of dilute urine
What are freshwater bony fish?
This is the location on a neuron that receives signals from another neuron.
What are the dendrites?
What is the cell body/soma?
This is the type of nervous system a sea star has
What is a nerve ring and radial nerves?
This is the oldest and most universal sense
What is chemoreception?
This is the smallest unit of a muscle that actually shortens/lengthens
What is a sarcomere?
This is a type of nitrogenous waste produced by birds
What is uric acid?
These are the types of neurons that connect to sensory cells and transmit impulses from these receptors to the central nervous system
What are afferent nerves?
This is the type of hormonal signaling where secreted molecules diffuse locally and trigger their neighbors
What is paracrine signaling?
This is the area in the eye that has the largest density of cones in the human eye
What is the fovea?
Which muscle type has a pinkish hue?
What is Type IIa?
This is the name of the organs responsible for removing nitrogenous waste and osmoregulation in insects.
This is the step in an action potential which is characterized by the opening of sodium channels and the increasing of membrane potential
What is depolarization?
This is the pacemaker of the brain that detects light levels as found in melatonin release and our cricket example.
What is the suprachiasmatic nucleus?
What is the cochlea?
What are the hairs within the cochlea?
This is the part of the muscle cell that transfers the depolarization inwards towards individual myofibrils during muscle stimulation
What are the T-tubules?
This is the location within a nephron that is primarily responsible for the recapture of water
what is the descending Loop of Henle?
This type of summation occurs with multiple action potentials from different neurons reaching the same postsynaptic cell at the same time
What is spatial summation?
This is the type of hormonal coordination where a stimulus is first received by a sensory neuron which triggers the release of hormones that trigger a release of secondary hormones
What is a simple neuroendocrine pathway?
This is the main mechanoreceptor in our skin responsible for detecting warmth
What are Ruffini endings?
These are the five steps of muscle relaxation
What is
1. Calcium is released from troponin
2. Calcium gets reabsorbed by sarcoplasmic reticulum
3. Tropomyosin re-blocks binding sites
4. Myosin-actin cross bridges break
5. ATP rebinds to myosin heads?
