100
Tails (if present) not prehensile and live in Africa or Asia
What are Old World Monkeys
100
-senses stimuli and transmits signals called nerve impulses from one part of an animal to another. -consists of a cell body and long extensions called dendrites and axons, which transmit signals from place to place.
What is nervous tissue/neuron
100
the four stages of food processing
What are Ingestion, Digestion, Absorption, Elimination
100
cells that are single layered, but appear as multiple layers becuase the cells vary in length
What is pseudostratified
100
vertebrates with two pairs of limbs
What are tetrapods
200
-- lack tails -- forelimbs are longer than hind limbs -- closely related to humans -- live in tropical areas in Southeast Asia and Africa
What are apes
200
-consist of closely packed cells that cover the outside of the body and line body organs and cavities.
What is epithelial tissue
200
enzyme in the oral cavity that begins the hydrolysis of starch
What is salivary amylase
200
the contraction and relaxation by smooth muscle in the walls of the alimentary canal
What is peristalsis
200
strong flexible rod that runs the length of the body
What is notochord
300
-- primates that evolved more recently than prosimians -- compared to prosimians, have larger brains relative to body size
What are Arthropoids
300
type of muscle tissue that moves walls of internal organs like the intestines.
What is smooth muscle
300
secreted by the stomach - made up of a strong acid, mucus, and a protein digesting enzyme
What is Gastric Juice
300
the first 25 cm of the small intestine - where chyme from the stomach mixes with digestive juices from the pancreas, liver, gallbladder, and intestinal wall
What is duodenum
300
have an internal skeleton made of calcium phosphate, an operculum, and a swim bladder.
What are ray-finned fishes
400
-- many have prehensile tails -- live in trees in Central and South America
What are New World Monkeys
400
-form tendons (muscles to bones) and ligaments (bones to bones)
What is fibrous connective tissue
400
an acid resistant bacteria responsible for damaging the stomach lining and causing ulcers
What is Helicobacter pylori
400
the internally maintained steady state
What is homeostasis
400
amniotes that include lizards, snakes, birds, and dinosaurs
What are reptiles
500
-- agile climbers and leapers that spend nearly all their time in trees -- live in tropical forests -- include the oldest known fossil primates, dating back to the end of the dinosaurs
What are Prosimians
500
type of epithelial tissue that is found in capillary walls and air sacs of lungs
What is Simple squamous
500
produced in the liver - breaks up fats into small droplets that can be more easily broken down
What is bile
500
layer of integumentary system that contains hair follicles, oil and sweat glands, nerves, sensory receptors, and blood vessels
