Cardiovascular Vocabulary Diastolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) after the contraction of the heart while the chambers of the heart refill with blood. Arteriole - A small branch of an artery leading into capillaries. Cardiac Output - the amount of blood pumped out by the ventricles in a given period of time. Atrioventricular valve - either of two heart valves through which blood flows from the atria to the ventricles; prevents return of blood to the atrium. Bicuspid Valve - valve with two cusps; situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Systolic Pressure - the blood pressure (as measured by a sphygmomanometer) during the contraction of the left ventricle of the heart.

Chapter 13 - Cardiovascular SystemPRIVATE ? 13.1 Introduction (p. 329; Fig. 13.1) A. The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, and vessels, arteries, capillaries and veins. B. A functional cardiovascular system is vital for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing wastes from them. 13.2 Structure of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.2) A. The heart is a hollow, cone-shaped, muscular pump within the thoracic cavity. B. Size and Location of the Heart (p. 329) 1. The average adult heart is 14 cm long and 9 cm wide. 2. The heart lies in the mediastinum under the sternum; its apex extends to the fifth intercostal space. C. Coverings of the Heart (p. 329; Fig. 13.3) 1. The pericardium encloses the heart.

What is psychology?? ? ? ?| ? ? ?------> THE STUDY OF BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR!!!! Psych is a science based off of EMPIRICISM - direct observation & tested? PSYCHOLOGY = PHYSIOLOGY + PHILOSOPHY Wilhem Wundt- FATHER OF PSYCHOLOGY In 1879, founded 1st formal laboratory for psychologial research at University of Leipzig, Germany 1st Lab Conscience experiment: attention memory time reaction G. Stanley Hall America's FIRST lab FIRST psych journal FIRST President of APA "Schools" - US Structuralism- ?"What" analyze ?into basic elements sensations feelings images? ? ? ??? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?did it through INTROSPECTION - own conscious experience (APART OF FUNCTIONALISM TOO) Functionalism- "Why" William James function- purpose of consciousness mental testing sex differences dev. patterns

Can also transmit. VERY MINOR ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Neuron: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? MAIN 3 PARTS: Dendrite-takes information TO the cell body Cell Body-maintenance-keeps it alive Axon-takes the information AWAY from the neuron (highway of the nervous system) terminal button-small knob that secrete NEURO CHEMICALS Neuro chemicals-stored by synapse

Chapter 27- bacteria and archaea Hypotonic hypertonic Lysis Mycoplasmas- bacteria that lack cell walls Gram positive bacteria- cell walls made of peptidoglycan Penicillin works on gram positive bacteria by preventing the synthesis of peptidoglycan Cell wall layers are: outermost is capsule, then lipopolysaccharide, then peptidoglycan, then phospholipids Cell wall is source of endotoxin Gram negative bacyeria- outer membrane with toxic lipopolysaccharides Plasmolysis- loss of water due to osmosis causes cytoplasm to pull away from cell wall Occurs in environments with high sugar content DNA should be located in the following to avoid cell death by adverse conditions, such as freezing, drying, or high temp: Nucleoid, endospore, plasmid
