Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Bone Marrow


1
Bone Marrow
  • The soft, fatty, vascular tissue that fills most
    bone cavities and is the source of red blood
    cells and many white blood.

2
Cardiac Muscle
  • Of, near, or relating to the heart

3
Endocrine Muscle
4
Glands
  • A cell, a group of cells, or an organ that
    produces a secretion for use elsewhere in the
    body or in a body cavity or for elimination from.

5
Hormones
  • A substance, usually a peptide or steroid,
    produced by one tissue and conveyed by the
    bloodstream to another to effect physiological.

6
Muscular System
  • The bodily system that is composed of skeletal,
    smooth, and cardiac muscle tissue and functions
    in movement of the body or of.

7
Nervous System
  • The system of cells, tissues, and organs that
    regulates the body's responses to internal and
    external stimuli.

8
Skeletal System
  • The bodily system that consists of the bones,
    their associated cartilages, and the joints, and
    supports and protects the body,

9
Smooth Muscle
  • Muscle tissue that contracts without conscious
    control, having the form of thin layers or sheets
    made up of spindle-shaped, unstriated cells with
    single nuclei and found in the walls of the
    internal organs, such as the stomach, intestine,
    bladder, and blood vessels, excluding the
    heart.

10
Spinal Chord
  • The thick, whitish cord of nerve tissue that
    extends from the medulla oblongata down through
    the spinal column and from which the.

11
Striated Muscle
  • a muscle that is connected at either or both ends
    to a bone and so move parts of the skeleton

12
Adrenal Gland
  • the triangle-shaped endocrine glands that sit
    atop the kidneys. They are chiefly responsible
    for regulating stress

13
Allele
  • An allele is an alternative form of a gene (one
    member of a pair) that is located at a specific
    position on a specific chromosome

14
Chromosome
  • A threadlike linear strand of DNA and associated
    proteins in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells that
    carries the genes and functions in.

15
Dominant
  • An allele that determines phenotype even when
    heterozygous

16
Fight or Flight
  • A set of physiological changes, such as increases
    in heart rate, arterial blood pressure, and
    blood glucose, initiated by the sympathetic
    nervous system

17
Gene
  • A hereditary unit consisting of a sequence of DNA
    that occupies a specific location on a
    chromosome and determines a particular

18
Heredity
  • The genetic transmission of characteristics from
    parent to offspring. The sum of characteristics
    and associated.

19
Heterozygous
  • refers to having two different alleles for a
    single trait

20
Homozygous
  • having identical alleles for a single trait.

21
Inherited Trait
  • In genetics, characteristics that people are born
    with are called inherited traits

22
Offspring
  • The progeny or descendants of a person, animal,
    or plant considered as a group

23
Ovary
  • The usually paired female or hermaphroditic
    reproductive organ that produces ova and, in
    vertebrates, estrogen and progesterone.

24
Punnett Square
  • ... A diagrammatic representation of a particular
    cross used to predict the progeny of the cross

25
Recessive
  • Genetics Of, relating to, or designating an
    allele that does not produce a characteristic
    effect when present with a dominant allele

26
Reproductive System
  • The bodily system of gonads, associated ducts,
    and external genitals concerned with sexual.

27
Startle
  • To cause to make a quick involuntary movement or
    start

28
Testes
  • The reproductive gland in a male vertebrate, the
    source of spermatozoa and the androgens,
    normally occurring paired in an external scrotum
    in humans

29
Trait
  • A distinguishing feature, as of a person's
    character

30
Uterus
  • a muscular organ of the female mammal for
    containing and usually for nourishing the young
    during development prior to birth called also
    womb
