Semester 2 Lessons
| Definition | Term |
|---|---|
| System comprised of the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, lungs, bronchi, and their smaller branches that causes gas exchange. | The respiratory system |
| Gas exchange only happens in the | Alveoli |
| the only externally visible part of the respiratory system | . Nose |
| During breathing, air enters the nose by passing through the | Nostrils |
| muscular passageway that resembles a short length of red garden hose. Commonly called the throat | Pharynx |
| Common passageway for food and air. | Pharynx |
| voice box, routes air and food into the proper channels and plats a role in speech. | Larynx |
| is triggered to expel the substance and prevent it from continuing into the lungs | . Coughing |
| or windpipe, from the larynx travels down to the level of the fifth thoracic vertebrae, which is approximately mid chest. | Trachea |
| Main path for air to travel from throat to the lungs. | Trachea |
| Procedure in which the air in a person’s own lungs is used to “pop out”, or expel, an obstructing piece of food | Heimlich Maneuver |
| Steps to the Heimlich | 1) Fist above navel. 2) Push in and up. 3) Repeat |
| are formed by the division of the trachea. | Bronchi |
| Which bronchi is wider, straighter, and shorter | Right |
| Large organs housing bronchioles and alveoli, filling up with air. | Lungs |
| Performs the whole menu of digestive functions. | Digestive System |
| Continuous, coiled, hollow, muscular tube that winds through the ventral body cavity and is open on both ends. | The alimentary canal |
| Area of the GI tract where food enters. | Esophagus |
| Organs assisting the process of digestive breakdown in various ways. | Pancreas, gall bladder and liver |
| Muscles that occupies the floor of the mouth. | Tounge |
| The gullet. Food runs from the pharynx through the diaphragm to the stomach. | Esophagus |
| What layer is the mucosa? | 1 |
| What layer is the submucosa? | 2 |
| What layer is the muscularis externa? | 3 |
| What layer is the serosa? | 4 |
| C shaped organ on the left side of the abdominal cavity. | Stomach |
| Area of stomach where food enters. | Cardiac |
| Expanded part of the stomach lateral to the cardiac region. | Fundus |
| The midportion of the stomach | Body |
| Terminal end of the stomach | Pylorus |
| Pair of organs in the abdominal cavity | Kidney |
| Atop each kidney is a(n) | Adrenal Gland |
| A fibrous, transparent capsule that encloses each kidney and gives a fresh kidney a glistening appearance | Renal Capsule |
| A fatty mass surrounding each kidney that helps hold it in place against the muscles of the trunk wall | Adipose Capsule |
| The outer region of the kidney | Cortex |
| Deep to the cortex, a darker reddish-brown area | Medulla |
| Triangular region with a striped appearance in the renal medulla | Medullary pyramids |
| Seperator between each pyramid | Renal Colum |
| Approximately how much of the total blood supply of the body passes through the kidneys each Minute? | 20% |
| The arterial supply of each kidney | Renal Artery |
| The main vein exiting each kidney | Renal Vein |
| Each kidney contains over a million tiny structures known as | Nephron |
| A non-selective passive process | Filtration |
| When filtering, this acts as the filter. | Glomerulus |
| this begins as soon as the filtrate enters the proximal convoluted tubule. | Tubular Reabsorption |
