Campbell Biology in Focus 3rd Edition Chapter 032 Quiz
Test Bank with Verified Answers 2023 GRADED
anatomy correct answers similarity between two species that is due to convergent evolution rather than
to descent from a common ancestor with the same trait
physiology correct answers the precesses and functions of an organism
tissue correct answers an integrated group of cells with a common structure, function, or both
organ correct answers a specialized center of body function composed of several different types of
tissue
organ system correct answers a group of organs that work together in preforming vital body function
epithelial tissue correct answers sheets of tightly packed cells that line organs body cavities as well as
external surfaces; all called epithelium
epithelium correct answers and epithelial tissue
nervous tissue correct answers The fast-acting internal system of communication involving sensory
receptor, network of nerve cells, and connections to muscles and glands that respond to nerve signal;
functions in concert with endocrine system to effect internal regulation and maintain homeostasis
neurons correct answers a nerve cell
glia correct answers cell of the nervous system that support, regulate, and augment the functions of
neurons
muscle tissue correct answers tissue consisting of long muscles cell that can contract, either on it own or
when stimulated by nerve impulses
skeletal muscle correct answers a type of striated muscle that is generally responsible for the voluntary
movement of the body
connective tissue correct answers animal tissue that functions mainly to bind an support other tissues,
having sparse population of cells scattered through an extracellular matrix
endocrine system correct answers the internal system of communication involving hormones, the
ductless glands that secrete hormones, and the molecular receptors on or in target cells that respond to
hormones
nervous system correct answers the fast-acting internal system of communication involving sensory
receptors, networks of nerve cells, and connections to muscles and glands that respond to nerve signals
, hormone correct answers in multicellular organisms, one of the many types of secreted chemicals that
are formed in specialized cells, travel in body fluids, and act on specific target cells in other parts of the
body, changing the target cells' functioning
endocrine gland correct answers a gland that secretes hormones directly into the interstitial fluid, from
which they diffuse into the bloodstream
hypothalamus correct answers the ventral part of the vertebrate forebrain; functions in maintaining
homeostasis, especially in coordinating the endocrine and nervous systems; secretes hormones of the
posterior pituitary and releasing factors that regulate the anterior pituitary
negative feedback correct answers a form of regulation in which accumulation of an end product of a
process slows the process; in physiology, a primary mechanism of homeostasis, whereby a change in a
variable triggers a response that counteracts the initial change
positive feedback correct answers a form of regulation in an end product of a process speeds up that
process; in physiology, a control mechanism in which a change in a variable triggers a response that
reinforces or amplifies a change
pancreas correct answers a gland with exocrine and endocrine tissues. the exocrine portion functions in
digestion, secreting enzymes and an alkaline solution into the small intestine via a duct; the ductless
endocrine portion functions in homeostasis, secreting the hormones insulin and glucagon into the blood
pituitary gland correct answers an endocrine gland at the base of the hypothalamus; consists of a
posterior lobe, which stores and releases two hormones produced by the hypothalamus, and an anterior
lobe, which produces and secretes many hormones that regulate diverse body functions
posterior pituitary correct answers an extension of the hypothalamus composed of nervous tissue that
secretes oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone made in the hypothalamus; a temporary storage site for
these hormones
anterior pituitary correct answers a portion of the pituitary that develops from non-neural tissue;
consists of endocrine cells that synthesize and secrete several tropic and nontropic hormones
oxytocin correct answers a hormone produced by the hypothalamus and released from the posterior
pituitary. It induces contractions of the uterine muscles during labor and causes the mammary glands to
eject milk during nursing
antidiuretic hormone correct answers ADH; a peptide hormone, also known as vasopressin, that
promotes water retention by the kidneys
vasopressin correct answers another name for ADH
epineohrine correct answers a catecholamine that, when secreted as a hormone by the adrenal
medulla, meditates "fight-or-flight" responses to short-term stresses
regulator correct answers an animal for which mechanisms of homeostasis moderate internal changes in
a particular variable in the face of external fluctuation of that variable
