honors

Digestive System

Mouth - salivary amylase

esophagus - peristalsis

valve that leads to stomach - esophageal sphinctor

heartburn

Stomach - enzyme pepsin - digests protein. Hydrochloric acid - bacteria killer -

First part of small intestine is the duodenum

 

secretes amylase - trypsin - lipase

 

From the pancreas = pancreatic lipase and pancreatic amylase

From the Gall Bladder = bile - emulsify fats - made in the liver and stored in the gall bladder

Common bile duct - receives from pancreas and gall bladder and empties into duodenum

Diabetes - lack of hormone released by the pancreas
glucose (simple sugar) caN BE BURNED in the cells in the presence of insulin.

genetic recombination cow dna into a bacteria

 

Large intestine - water reabsorption - bacteria farm - vitamin k formation

colon - rectum - hydrated - faulty thirst mechanism

 

ACTIVITY:create a new web page - 2 questions that correspond to two images

Hormones
target cells
receptors

Osmolarity

 

Honors
Hyperonic
hypotonic
isotonic
thyroid gland

exocrine

 

 

 

Blood Messages

Neurotransmitters - small molecules released by neurons

and hormones

 

What is the difference?

Synapse - space between neurons

Gland - secretes molecules (hormones) into the blood**find images for both of those in action.

 

 

neuron
synapse
neurotransmitter

 

The Hypothalamus talks to the Pituitary - called the "Master Gland" because it tells other glands what to do.

 

Hormones are released into the blood and fit with receptors on the membranes of target cells. Some hormones squirt through membranes and form a lock and key in organelles such as nuclei, mitochondria or ribosomes.

 

endocrine system

Shift in homeostasis

 

Negative feedback system - absence of a molecule
Feedback - presence of a molecule

Anti-diuretic hormone

 

message fom hypothalamus to pituitary - pituitary releases hormone to adrenal cortex of kidney -

shift in homeostasis is osmolarity is high

Pick three hormones from the list below and answer the following about that hormone:

Shift in homeostasis that causes the release of this hormone:
Name of gland that secretes this hormone:
Target cells or gland:
resulting change:
Feedback that initiates halting secretion of this hormone:

Insulin
Thyroid stimulating hormone
Growth Hormone
Prolactin
Testosterone


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

Week 6


Phagocytes
T cells
B cells
memory b cells
vaccine
antibody
antigen
Lymph gland


Immune System


Recognize SELF vs. FOREIGN

first line of defense = cell-mediated immunity

Phagocytes - phagocytosis **

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

T-cells (WBC's) - shoot protein spears and lyse the foriegn invader**

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2nd line of defense = antibody-mediated immunity

B-Cells - takes a chemical "picture" brings it back to lymph nodes - The antibody is made and B-Cells use the antibody to bind with the antigen -**

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Memory b-cells stay in the lymphatic system for the next invasion

Vaccine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 





 
Week 7: Listen Up and stay balanced - The Ear

Sensory organ -

tectorial membrane

(As an organ of equilibrium)
semicircular canal
macula
ampullar nerve
otolithic membrane
hair cells




Honors

utricle
saccule
Malleus
Incus
Stapes
crista
cupula


 

Listen and Stay Balanced:

Hair cells vibrating and displacing gelatin, leading to neurons firing impulses..

Vibrations affect the tympanic membrane which in turn affect the small bones of the inner ear

The oval window vibrates, affecting the perilymph which resides in the cochlea, displacing fluid and affecting the basilar membrane which vibrates.

Vibrations of the basilar membrane affect hair cells that generate nerve impulses, creating an electrical signal from a mechanical force. Neurons carry the signals to the brain which interprets the frequency of sound based on the neurotransmitters triggered by the movement of the hair cells.

 

 

Equilibrium
The ear allows us to respond to sudden changes in static and dymnamic equilibrium.


 

 

Changes in the position of the semicircular canals displace fluid, affecting the crista, where the ampullar nerve responds to the movement of hair cells, creating an electrical signal from a mechanical force.

 

The brain interprets the signal and sends messages to your muscles to adjust accordingly.

Find an image, showing the ear utilizing its tools for correcting changes in equilibrium.

What is the relationship between carrots and eyesight?



Light is directed to the sensitive Retina where the rods (night vision) and cones (bright light and color) reside.


A Photopigment is a substance that can absorb light and undergo structural changes that can lead to the generation of a nerve impulse.

 

Rhodopsin is the photopigment in rods and is sensitive to light. It is composed of a protein molecule and Retinal (a derivative of vitamin A).

 

 

As Rhodopsin is broken down in the presence of low light, a nerve impulse is generated to the visual cortex of the brain.

If the light is too bright, this happens too quickly for a signal to be sent. Night blindness occurs when rhodopsin is not reformed due to the absence of Vitamin A.

Aerobic exercise - how do you know you are burning fat? Heart rate must be between the lowert and upper ranges
Determined by 220-age x .60 = lower range
220-age x.80 = upper range.
