Name 3 parts on the inner ear
200
Provides a blood supply to the eye which gives nutrition to the various parts of the eye
What is the function of the choroid?
200
-Responsible for processing and retrieving memories
-Problem- solving
-Processing information from the senses
What is the function of the Cerebral Cortex
200
filters foreign particles as part of the immune system
What is the function of a lymph node?
300
Endotherms are animals that regulate their own internal body temperature where as ectotherms rely on external sources of heat (e.g. the sun or a heat lamp) to regulate their body temperature
Explain the difference between endotherms and ectotherms
300
-Catch sound waves
-Communication (Body language)
-Temperature regulation
What is the function of the pinna?
300
Smooth muscles to control the shape of the lens to enable focus
What is the function of the ciliary body?
300
(Autonomic functions)
-Respiration
-Blood Pressure
-Heart rate
-Motor function
What is the function of the medulla oblongata?
300
Chemical substances that affect the activity of another part of the body
Define the term hormone
400
The liver
Where is glycogen stored?
400
The spiral shaped membrane (snail shell shape) increases the surface area, able to pick up vibrations to identify different pitches. This is converted to electrical signals.
Describe how the shape of the cochlea affects its function
400
Rod cells- Sensitive to light
Cone Cells- Sensitive to colour
What are the two types of photoreceptor cells and what are they responsible for seeing?
400
Afferent nerves are sensory nerves that carry impulses from sensory stimuli (e.g. vision and touch) towards the CNS/ brain
Explain the function of afferent neurons in the central nervous system?
400
Produces lymphocytes to help fight pathogens and it is most active in young animals
What is the function of the thymus and when is it most active?
500
They can live in colder environments than ectotherms, and can continue operating across a wider range of daily temperatures.
List two advantages that an endotherm has over an ectotherm with the environments they can live in
500
-To navigate and find food in the dark
-High pitched sound is released and the sound waves hit an object, they produce echoes
-The echoes are picked up by the bats ears
Explain how a bat uses echolocation
500
Optic disc
Which part of the retina has no photoreceptor cells?
500
Sympathetic- Fight and Flight
Parasympathetic- Rest and Digest
What are the two parts of the autonomic nervous system and state one thing they each do to the body?
500
Produces fight or flight hormones (adrenaline/ noradrenaline) and helps the body cope with stress
What is the function of the adrenal gland and what hormones does it produce?
