BIOL 1104 #4 Endocrine, Georgia State Biology 1104k Test
3 (Ulrich) Study Guide
3 essential eements of gas diffusion Correct Answer 1.
Moisture, gases must dissolve in water.
2. Thin surfaces, short distances allow it to be fast.
3. Surface area large enough to ensure that diffusion can support
metabolic demand.
Air moves into your alveoli when you __________ diaphragm
muscle. Correct Answer Contract
Alveoli Correct Answer Connect the respiratory and
circulatory systems.
Androgens Correct Answer Male hormones.
Source: testes
Targets: various
Anterior pituitary gland (apg) Correct Answer endocrine;
release hormone when stimulated by releasing hormones
produced by the hypothalamus. Secretes tropic hormones that
control other endocrine glands
Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Correct Answer Source: Posterior
Pituitary
Target: Kidney
Effects: reduced urine production
Arteries Correct Answer Carry blood awary from heart.
, Atrioventricular (AV) vavles Correct Answer Prevent backflow
from ventricles to atria.
Calcitonin Correct Answer Source: Thyroid
Target: Bone
Effect: Lowers blood CA2+
Capillaries Correct Answer Narrow, thin-walled vessels.
Connect arteries and veins. Gas and nutrient/waste exchange
occurs in capillary beds.
Circulatory system Correct Answer System of vessels that aids
in bulk trasport of nutrients, dissolved gases, waste, and
hormones. Moves gases to/from.
Closed circulatory system Correct Answer Blood fully
contained within vessels. More reapid. Better control of blood.
Conformers Correct Answer Adjust their internal state to match
conditions.
Control centers Correct Answer Compare a variable to a set
point and initiate responses.
Cortisol (Adrenal) Correct Answer Target: Various tissues
Effects: Increased blood glucose, and reduced inflammation. A
steroid hormone
Ectotherms Correct Answer Conform to environmental
temperature.
