100

This goup of similar cells performs a common function

Tissue

100

This organ system delivers oxygen and nutrients to body cells

Circulatory system

100

A nerve cell (neuron) consists of these three components

Cell body, axon, dendrites

100

This type of sensory receptor can bind and recognize glucose molecules

Chemoreceptor

100

This type of immune protein is found in blood plasma and matches with an antigen

Antibody

200

Cells in this type of tissue are surrounded by a lot of matrix

Connective tissue

200

The maintenance of a steady state in the internal environment of an organisms is based on this principle

Homeostasis

200

These molecules are released when an action potential arrives at the synaptic cleft

Neurotransmitters

200

This part of the ear receives pressure/sound waves and passes them on as vibrations

Eardrum

200
This system carries signals from the CNS to the skeletal muscles

Motor system

300

This type of tissue is found in the intestines where it absorbs nutrients

Simple Columnar Epithelium

300

The trachea and pharynx are part of this organ system

Respiratory system

300

These ion channels open during the Re-polarization phase of an action potential

K+ (Potassium) channels

300

These two types of of receptors are found on the retina at the back of the eye

Photoreceptors, cones and rods

300

This organ system is involved in both innate and adaptive immunity:

lymphatic system

400

This type of connective tissue consist of mostly collagen and is found under the skin

Loose connective tissue

400

In this control mechanism the response reduces the effect of the original stimulus to help maintain balance in the body.

Negative Feedback

400
This part of the brain harbors a cluster of neurons that function as a biological clock

Hypothalamus

400
The decrease in sensitivity of a continuously stimulated receptor over time is called:

Sensory adaptation

400

These two types of white blood cells represent the integral part of the innate immune system

Macrophages and Neutrophiles

500

These three tissues contain contractile proteins

Skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle and smooth muscle

500

These three components make up a control mechanism

Receptor (sensor)

Control center 

Effector (target)

500

These three functional divisions form the autonomic nervous system

Parasympathetic division, sympathetic division, enteric divison

500

These two membranes are found in the middle canal of the cochlea

Basilar membrane and tectorial membrane

500

The charge difference across the membrane of a resting neuron is referred to as _____ and is measured at this voltage_____

resting potential, -70mV
