Three Main layers of the skin - ANS-epidermis (includes melanocytes, which have an effect on
pores and skin pigment), epidermis (consists of hair follicles, nerve endings, blood vessels,
glands), and hypodermic (or subcutaneous layer)
3 Main Secretions of the Stomach - ANS-pepsinogen (leader cells), mucus (goblet cells), and
hydrochloric acid (parietal cells)
three Types of Muscle Tissue - ANS-skeletal (striated, robust, associated with voluntary muscle
movement), easy (non-striated, associated with autonomic frightened structures, "involuntary
movement"), and cardiac (coronary heart muscle, striated, has inner pacemaker)
Active immunity - ANS-herbal immunity effects when a person is immediately uncovered to a
pathogen and produces antibodies via the frame's immune reaction
Acute angles - ANS-angles <90 degrees
Adaptive immune system - ANS-both reacts (cellular response; fights pathogens) and
remembers (humoral response; antibodies)
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - ANS-a compound that provides energy to cells. It is needed for
muscle movement. It is generated from food by mitochondria
Afferent Neuron - ANS-transmit sensory information to the CNS
Allele - ANS-one of two or more versions of a gene. Individual inherit two alleles for each gene,
one from each parent. The dominant allele is the stronger one, and the recessive allele is the
weaker.
Alveoli - ANS-tiny, thin-walled air sacs at the ends of the smallest bronchioles where oxygen and
carbon dioxide are exchanged
Antecubital - ANS-front of the elbow
Area - ANS-the amount of space within the boundary of the shape
Argument - ANS-a point the author believes
Arteries - ANS-thick-walled blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart to deliver
oxygenated blood to body tissues
,Atom - ANS-the fundamental unit of matter and the smallest unit that retains the properties of a
chemical element. The nucleus (core) of an atom contains neutrons (neutral) and protons
(positive. Electrons (negative) are outside the nucleus in "pathways" called orbitals (electron
cloud). They increase in energy as they get farther away from the nucleus.
Atomic Number - ANS-defined by the number of protons. All atoms of the same element have
the same atomic number
Atomic weight - ANS-number below the element's symbol in the periodic table, measured in
atomic mass units (amu)
Atria - ANS-the two upper chambers of the heart
Autonomic Nervous System - ANS-controls involuntary movement such as heart rate and
rhythm, digestion, and respiration
Axillary - ANS-armpit
Balance - ANS-instrument used to measure an object's mass
Bias - ANS-tendency toward a preconceived idea
Bonds - ANS-strong attractive forces between elements and compounds that are continually
being created and broken. Chemical reactions are the breaking and formation of chemical
bonds
Brachial - ANS-arm
Bronchi - ANS-main passageways directly attached to the lungs; they subdivide into smaller and
smaller branches (bronchioles)
Buccal - ANS-cheek
Capillaries - ANS-smallest blood vessels made of a single layer of endothelial cells which form
networks to connect the arterial and venous systems and exchange materials between blood
and the body's tissues. In the lungs they connect with alveoli for gas exchange
Cardiovascular/Circulatory System - ANS-moves blood through the body to transport oxygen,
nutrients, chemical messengers, and immune molecules and to remove waste
Carpal - ANS-wrist
, Catalyst - ANS-chemical that accelerates a chemical reaction by decreasing the activation
energy needed for the reaction
Cell - ANS-the basic structural and organizational unit or organisms
Cell division - ANS-cells can be created only by preexisting cells. The two types of cell division
are mitosis and meiosis
Celsius to Fahrenheit - ANS-(C x 1.8) + 32
Central Nervous System (CNS) - ANS-brain and spinal cord
Cephalic - ANS-head
Cervical - ANS-neck
Chromosome - ANS-a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of
most living cells. Humans have 22 pairs plus a pair of sex chromosomes (XX for women, XY for
men), for a total of 46 chromosomes.
Closed, Double-loop Circulatory System - ANS-transports blood away and back to the heart and
connects arteries to veins in tissues via capillaries
Coefficients - ANS-numbers that can be multiplied by one or more variables
Colons - ANS-can introduce and item or phrase, a quotation, for list of items
Commas - ANS-to separate two independent clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction, to
separate items in a list or series
Compare and Contrast - ANS-to compare means to look for similarities; to contrast means to
look for differences
Conclusion - ANS-a deduction made about an unstated outcome based on prediction, details,
evidence, and results
Condensation - ANS-phase change from gas to liquid
Connotative meaning - ANS-the implied meaning of a word, with assumptions or an emotional
charge attached to it
Constants - ANS-specific numbers that are not multiplied by any variables
Control variable - ANS-a variable that is held constant
