- 36identify the structure indicated in purpleThe Trachea

- 37outline the function of this structureTo filter blood

- 38outline the function of this structureTo

- 39identify the structure indicated in blueThe Pyloris

- 40Identify the structure indicated in blueOesophagus

- 41identify the structure indicated in redPancreas

- 42What is the function of the pancreasTo regulate blood sugar by producing insulin

- 43What are the 4 types of muscle contraction1. excitation
2. excitation-contraction coupling
3. contraction
4. relaxation - 44what happens in the excitation phaseNerve action potentials lead to muscle action potentials
- 45what happens in the excitation-contraction coupling phaseEvents that link action potentials to sarcolemma to activation of myofilaments which is preparing them to contract
- 46what happens in the contraction phaseMuscle fibers develop tension and may shorten
- 47what happens in the relaxation phaseStimulation ends and muscle fiber relaxes and returns to its resting length
- 48What are the five main cell types in the gastric glands of the stomach1. Mucous cells
2. Parietal cells
3. Chief cells
4. Enteroendocrine cells
5. Stem cells - 49What is the function of Mucous cellsTo secrete mucus that acts like a mechanical barrier and a lubricant for foods
- 50What is the function of Parietal cellsTo produce gastric acid in response to histamine, acetylcholine, and gastrin
- 51What is the function of Chief cellsTo synthesis and release the proenzyme pepsinogen
- 52What is the function of Enteroendocrine cellsThey produce and release hormones in response to a number of stimuli
- 53What is the function of Stem cellsTo regulate physiological tissue renewal and injury repair
- 54What are the phases of urine production1. Glomerular Filtration
2. Tubular Reabsorption
3. Tubular Secretion
4. Water Conservation - 55What happens in the Glomerular Filtration phasePlasma-like filtrate of blood is created
- 56What happens in the Tubular Reabsorption phaseRemoves useful solutes from the filtrate and returns them to blood
- 57What happens in the Tubular Secretion phaseRemoves addition wastes from blood and adds them to the filtrate
- 58What happens in the Water Conservation phaseRemoves water from urine and returns it to blood
- 59What are the four Urine production phases1. Glomerular Filtration
2. Tubular Reabsorption
3. Tubular Secretion
4. Water Conservation - 60What happens in the Glomerular Filtration phaseThe creation of plasma-like filtrate of blood
- 61What happens in the Tubular Reabsorption phaseThe removal of useful solutes from the filtrate and returns them to blood
- 62What happens in the Tubular Secretion phaseThe removal od additional wastes from blood and adds them to the filtrate
- 63What happens in the Water Conservation phaseThe removal of water from urine and returns it to the blood
- 64What are two types of Nephrons1. Cortical Nephrons
2. Juxtamedullary Nephrons - 65Where are Cortical Nephrons locatedLocated in the Renal Cortex of the kidney
- 66Where are Juxtamedullary Nephrons locatedLocated at the boundary of Cortex and Medulla
- 67What are some structural differences between Cortical and Juxtameduallary NephronsCortical nephrons have a short loop of Henle which penetrates only the outer renal medulla and Juxtamedullary nephrons have a long loop of Henle extending deep into the renal medulla.
- 68Name two main parts of the Nephron that are targeted by AldosteroneThe distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and Collecting duct (CD)
- 69Outline the changes in function caused by Aldosterone1. Na+ reabsorption is regulated by Aldosterone in the distal convoluted tubule
2. Regulates the nephrons - 70when does the male reproductive system start being regulated by hormones?Puberty typically around age 14
