Plant Cells and Tissues
Cells that are located just underneath the upper epidermis and are the primary site of photosynthesis
What is the pallisade mesophyll?
Regions of growth which are located at the tip of a stem and allow the stem to lengthen
What are terminal buds?
Muscle tissue where muscle cells are striated and under involuntary control
What is cardiac muscle?
The body cavity which is found along the back of the animal
What is the dorsal cavity?
Effectors that have opposite effects on the regulation of a homeostatic factor
What are antagonistic effectors?
Meristem which forms primary vascular tissue
What is the procambium?
Leaf venation characterized by having highly branched networks
What is reticulate?
Flattened epithelial cells
What are squamous?
The body system which provides protection for internal body structures, supports the overall structure of the body and stores important nutrients and fat
What is the skeletal system?
Mechanisms which function by amplifying a signal to complete a process, rather than to maintain a stable state
What are positive feedback mechanisms?
The paired cells that line stomata to regulate their opening and closing
What are guard cells?
Body system which provides scaffolding for leaves (which absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight), as well as fruits and flowers (which are the plants reproductive structures)
What is the shoot system?
Cells found within connective tissue proper
What are fibroblasts?
The body system which exchanges carbon dioxide and oxygen with the environment
What is the respiratory system?
The mathematical value for temperature sensivity
What is Q10?
The most common type of plant cell, carry out photosynthesis, and function in storage and secretion of materials
What are parenchyma cells?
The region of the plant root where the cells undergo differentiation/specialization
What is the zone of maturation?
The single extension of the neuron which conducts impulses away from cell body
What is the axon?
What is the pleural cavity?
The transfer of heat by electromagnetic radiation such as from the sun
What is radiation?
Type of vascular tissue which conducts water and nutrients upward from the roots and supports plant structure
What is xylem?
The leaf pattern where leaves are located at the same point on both sides of the stem
What is opposite?
The type of glands which secrete hormones into the bloodstream
What are endocrine glands?
The body system which protects our bodies from pathogens and cancerous cells
What is the lymphatic system?
The structure in the brain of mammals which regulates body temperature
What is the hypothalamus?
