What are villi? Fingerlike projections of the mucosa
What lines the intestinal glands in the duodenum? Enteroendocrine, goblet and stem cells
How many lobules is the liver composed of? 100,000
What is a lobule? A functional unit of the the liver
What are lobules separated by? Interlobular septum which is a type of connective tissue
What direction does bile flow in the liver? From the central vein to the portal vein
What direction does blood flow in the liver? From the portal vein to the central vein
What happens at the P wave of an ECG? Atrial depolarisation
What happens at the QRS complex? Ventricular depolarisation
What happens at the T wave? Ventricular repolarisation
What happens at the PQ wave? AV node delay
How long does AV node delay last? 0.15 seconds

What is EPO? Erythropoietin
What does EPO do? Stimulates the production of RBCs
How does the renal system maintain acid/base balance of the blood? By conserving/eliminating H+/HCO-3
What are the functions of the renal and urinary system Regulates blood volume, secretes EPO, regulates ion concentration, converts vit D to calcitriol, maintains acid/base balance of blood and conserves nutrients such as glucose
Why does the renal system convert vit D to calcitriol? To increase calcium uptake in the GIT
