Topic 2
1 of 47
What is Homeostasis?
Keeping the Internal Environment Constant.
2 of 47
What is Osmoregulation?
The Control of Water in the Body.
3 of 47
How Do We Lose Water From our Body.
Urine, Breath and Sweat.
4 of 47
What is Thermoregulation?
The Control of Body Temperature.
5 of 47
What Happens if the Body Goes Below 37°C?
Shivering, Erection of Hairs and Vasoconstriction.
6 of 47
What is Vasoconstriction?
The Blood Vessels Narrow and the Blood Flow to the Skin Reduces. Less Heat is Lost.
7 of 47
What Happens if the Body Goes Above 37°C?
Sweating, Hairs Lie Flat and Vasodilation.
8 of 47
What is Vasodilation?
The Blood Vessels Widen and the Blood Flow to Skin Increases. More Heat is Lost.
9 of 47
What Type of Feedback is Thermoregulation?
Negative?
10 of 47
What is a Hormone?
A Chemical Released By Glands.
11 of 47
What is a Target Organ?
An Organ That Response to a Hormone?
12 of 47
What Carries the Hormones in the Body?
The Blood.
13 of 47
Why is Glucose Needed?
To Help With Respiration.
14 of 47
What Organ Produces Insulin?
The Pancreas.
15 of 47
What Happens if Blood Glucose is Too High?
Insulin is Secreated into the Blood, Liver converts Glucose into Glycogen and the Glucose Level Goes Up.
16 of 47
What Happens if Blood Glucose is Too Low?
Insulin isn't Secreated into the Blood, Liver Doesn't converts Glucose into Glycogen and the Glucose Level Goes Down.
17 of 47
What Other Hormone Does the Pancreas Release?
Glucagon.
18 of 47
What Does Glucagon Do?
Causes the Liver to Turn Glycogen Back into Glucose.
19 of 47
What Causes Diabetes?
The Blood Glucose Levels Being Too High.
20 of 47
How is Type 1 Diabetes Controlled?
Monitoring Diet and Injecting Insulin.
21 of 47
How is Type 2 Diabetes Controlled?
Monitoring Diet and Excercise.
22 of 47
What is the Formula For BMI?
Weight in KG/Height in M^2.
23 of 47
What Do Plants Need For Photosynthesis?
Light and Water.
24 of 47
Positive Tropism?
Towards the Stimulus.
25 of 47
Negative Tropism?
Away From the Stimulus.
26 of 47
Phototropism?
Growth to the Direction of Light.
27 of 47
Geotropism?
Growth to the Direction of Gravity.
28 of 47
What is Auxin?
A Plant Hormone Which Causes the Elongation of Cells in Plants.
29 of 47
What is Selective Weedkiller?
A Weedkiller That Kills Certain Plants By Speeding Up the Rate of Growth.
30 of 47
What is Rooting Powder?
A Powder That Makes Stem Cuttings Develop Roots Quicker.
31 of 47
Why Are Some Hormones Used for Delaying Ripening?
For Transport and shop Displaying.
32 of 47
What Are the Sense Organs?
Skin,Tounge, Nose, Eyes and ears.
33 of 47
Skin Receptors Are?
Touch, Pressure, Pain and Temperature.
34 of 47
Tounge Receptors Are?
Chemicals in Food.
35 of 47
Nose Receptors Are?
Chemicals in the Air.
36 of 47
Eye Receptors Are?
Light.
37 of 47
Ear Receptors Are?
Sound and Head Positioning.
38 of 47
What is an Effector?
Part of the Body That Produces the Responce.
39 of 47
What are Neurones?
Nerve Cells.
40 of 47
Type of Neurones?
Sensory, Relay and Motor.
41 of 47
What Does a Sensory Neuron Do?
Carries Signals From Receptors to the Spinal Cord and Brain.
42 of 47
What Does a Relay Neurone Do?
Carries Messages From One Part of the CNS to Another.
43 of 47
What Does a Motor Neurone Do?
Carries Signals From the CNS to Effectors.
44 of 47
What Surrounds the Axon?
Myelin Sheath.
45 of 47
What is a Synapse?
The Gap In Between Where Two Neurones Meet.
46 of 47
What Happens When a Receptor is Stimulated?
Receptor Detects the Environmental Change, Sensory Neurone Sends Signal to Relay Neurone, Motor Neurone Sends Signal to Effector and Effector Produces a Response.
