basal lamina - Answer -a mat of extracellular matrix that separates an organ from
epithelial tissue

lumen - Answer -cavity, external area around organ

loose connective tissue - Answer -connects organs/tissues to epithelium

cartilage - Answer -connective tissue that is sturdy, but softer and more flexible than

located in cartilage

chondrocytes - Answer -cells in cartilage that secrete collagen chondroitin sulfate

fibrous connective tissue - Answer -includes tendons and ligaments, made of fibers in
parallel bundles, which maximize non-elastic strength

,adipose tissue - Answer -tissue that protects, insulates, and cushions the body, holds

collagen wrapped around blood vessels and nerves

fibroblasts - Answer -cells of connective tissue that secrete the protein ingredients

macrophages - Answer -engulf foreign particles and debris through phagocytosis

collagenous fibers - Answer -made of collagen, nonelastic and do not tear easily

reticular fibers - Answer -made of collagen, joins connective tissue to adjacent tissues,
continuous with collagenous fibers

elastic fibers - Answer -made of elastin, easily stretched but bounce back to original
shape

neurons

regulator - Answer -manages internal conditions to combat changes caused by external
conditions

conformer - Answer -allows internal conditions to conform to external conditions

normal range (of a variable - homeostasis) - Answer -range for which action is taken to
maintain homeostasis

acclimatization - Answer -when an animal changes certain aspects of its metabolism,
behavior, etc. to temporarily conform to changing external conditions

endothermic (animal) - Answer -maintain the temperature inside the body through their
internal metabolism

ectothermic (animal) - Answer -gain their heat from external sources, do not perform
internal mechanisms to maintain temperature

,poikilotherm - Answer -animal whose body temperature varies with its environment

homeotherm - Answer -animal whose body temperature does not vary with its
environment

radiation - Answer -emission of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves

evaporation - Answer -removal of heat along with liquid being turned into gas

convection - Answer -transfer of hear by the movement of air or liquid past a surface

conduction - Answer -the direct transfer of heat between objects in direct contact

vasodilation - Answer -increasing the diameter of blood vessels as to bring it closer to
the surface of the body and warm it

vasoconstriction - Answer -decreasing the diameter of blood vessels as to take it farther
away from the surface of the body and cool it

countercurrent exchange - Answer -the flow of adjacent fluids in opposing directions
that maximizes transfer rates of heat or solutes

thermogenesis - Answer -heat production

non-shivering thermogenesis - Answer -heat production without moving

brown fat - Answer -tissue specialized for heat production

hypothalamus - Answer -part of the brain that acts like a thermostat for the body,
controlling the internal mechanisms that control internal temperature

bio-energetics - Answer -the overall flow and transformation of energy in an animal

metabolic rate - Answer -the sum of all the energy-requiring biochemical reactions over
a given time interval

basal metabolic rate (BMR) - Answer -in an endotherm, the minimum metabolic rate at
rest with an empty stomach without any stress

standard metabolic rate (SMR) - Answer -in an ectotherm, the minimum metabolic rate
when resting, nonstressed, and fasting

torpor - Answer -a physiological state in which activity is low and metabolism decreases

hibernation - Answer -long term torpor that is an adaptation to winter cold and food
scarcity
