Mastering Biology notes

Neuroplasticity: brains develop and grow with effort and challenges
Growth mindset improves performance


Unit 40: The Animal Body

Animal tissues




Types of connective tissues




Types of epithelial tissue




Thermoregulation
High body temp => vasodilation (more heat loss to the env) => body temp decreases
Low body temp => vasoconstriction (less heat loss to the env) => body temp increases
e.g. of negative feedback

Negative feedback: reducing stimulus to maintain homeostasis
Positive feedback: amplify a response

, Countercurrent heat exchange
Adaptation in mammals, regulate heat loss and gain
In cool env, heat retention. e.g. sperm




Ectotherm: gain heat from environment
Endotherm: generate heat

Homeotherm: keep body temp constant (homeostasis)
Poikilotherm: allow temp to fluctuate

Humans: homeo + endo (‘warm blooded’)




Energy expenditures
- Metabolism
- Reproduction
- Thermoregulation
- Activity
- Growth
If ectotherm, thermoregulation doesn’t require energy
Small animals lose heat faster. High SA:Vol ratio
