circulation in which the hepatic portal vein carries dissolved nutirents to the liver tissues for processing
Endocrine System:
Controls some bodily functions (much slower that NS)
Passive transport:
Cell expendes NO energy for movement of substances
Inflammation:
Nonspecific defensive response of the body to tissue injury, including dilation of blood vessels
Integumentary system:
The skin-Protects & waterproofs body; helps regulate body temperature
Hemoglobin:
Oxygen-transporting component of erythrocytes
Active transport:
Cell expends energy in movement of substances
Joule:
Unit of energy equal to 0.239 calorie
Genome:
One haploid set of chromosomes with the genes they contain
Ionization:
Adding or subtracting electrons from an atom
Passive transport:
Diffusion-transfer of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration
Hormones:
steroidal or amino acid-based molecules released into the blood that act as chemical messengers to regulate specific body functions
Genetics:
The study of how traits are transported from parent ot offspring; aka-heredity
Structures of the Nervous System:
Brain, spinal cord, nerves and sensory receptors
Genotype:
Genetic makeup
Lymphatic System:
System of thin-walled vessels similar to the blood capillaries, which serve to collect lymph fluid from tissues and organs and to transport the fluid to the venous circulation
Smooth muscle:
is under involuntary control
Lipid:
Organic compound formed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
Inoculation:
Placement of bacteria onto a culture medium
Hypotonic:
Concentration outside the cell is lower than inside cell (water moves out of cell to establish equilibrium)
Gene:
A section of DNA that controls a particular genetic trait on a chromosome
The three types of Muscle tissue:
Skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle
Muscular system:
Consists of only skeletal muscles to produce movement
Osmosis:
Water molecules moving down the concentration gradient
Gray matter:
neural tissue of the brain and spinal cord that contains nerve-cell bodies as well as nerve fibers
Golgi apparatus:
Packages enzymes into lysosomes for cellular use
Inspiration:
Process of breathing in
Golgi apparatus:
Modifies proteins destined to become part of cellular membranes
Connective tissue:
Normally has its own blood supply
Structures of the Endocrine System:
Pineal, Pituitary, thyroid, thymus and adrenal glands, pancreas, testes and ovaries
Alleles:
Alternative form of genes
Isotonic solution:
Water moves in and out of cell because equilibrium has already been established
Immune system:
System whose components attack foreign substances or prevent their entry into the body
Isomers:
Several molecules with same composition but different structures
Hypertonic:
concentration outside is higher that inside (water move out of cell to establish equilibrium)
Facilitated diffusion:
Molecules are diffused across a cell membrane by special proteins called carrier proteins
Nervous System:
Bodys control system; detects internal and external stimuli and activates appropriate response

Travel system for many substances necessary for the body
Nephron:
structural and functional unit of the kidney
Operant conditioning:
A method of using rewards to train an animal to perform tasks that aren't inate
Mechanical energy:
Energy directly involved in moving matter
Oxidation reaction:
An atom loses one or more electrons, resulting in a positive charge
Mitosis:
Process of cell duplication-daughter cells receieve same nuclear material as original cell
Monosaccharide:
A simple sugar that can't be broken down by hydrolysis (glucose, fructose, galactose)
Qualitative measurement:

Molar Mass:
The mass in grams of a substance
Growing:
All systems
Reduction-oxidation reactions:
Chemical reactions that result in the transference of electrons
Lymphatic System:
Purpose is to return fluid that has leaked from the cardiovascular system to the blood vessels
Osmotic pressure:
Force produced by the pressure of water diffusing through a semipermeable membrane
Exergonic reaction:
