A&P Exam 1

QuestionAnswer
alimentary canal nourishes the body mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, duodenum, large intestine, rectum, anus
mouth digests sugars
pharynx connects mouth to esophagus; throat
esophagus uses peristalsis to push food to the stomach
small intestine mixes food with bile and pancreatic juice
duodenum digests fats
stomach digests proteins
large intestine absorbs water and forms waste
accessory organs aid in the breakdown of food salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas
salivary glands secrete saliva to help with the breakdown of carbs
the ____________ produces bile and the _______________ stores it until it goes to the ______________ liver; gallbladder; small intestine
bolus food
deglutition swallowing
uvula prevents food from going into the nasal cavity
epiglottis prevents food from going into the trachea and entering the lungs
bile is an emulsifier
lipase made by the pancreas and breaks small fats into even smaller ones for digestion, allows lipase to work more efficiently
gastrin comes from.... secreted when..... stimulates..... the stomach when there is food in the stomach release of gastric juice, mobility of small intestine, relaxes ileocecal valve
secretin comes from.... secreted when.... increases... inhibits.... the duodenum when there is acidic chyme and partially digested food in the duodenum output of pancreatic juice (rich is bicarbonate ions), bile output gastric mobility and gastric gland secretion
cholecystokinin comes from... secreted when... increases... relaxes... the duodenum when there is fatty chyme in the duodenum output of enzyme rich pancreatic juice, stimulates release of bile from gallbladder sphincter of duodenal papilla to allow bile and pancreatic juice to enter the duodenum
insulin beta cells of pancreas increases facilitated diffusion of glucose into the body cells and movement of amino acids into body cells glycogenesis
glucagon alpha cells of pancreas increases blood levels of glucose glycogenolysis
glycogeneis glucose --> glycogen
glycogenolysis glycogen --> glucose
gluconeogenesis glucose is formed from a non carb source
villi finger looking structures in small intestine to increase surface area for absorption
capillaries circulatory system amino acids and monosaccharides
lacteals lymphatic system chylomicrons ( glycerol and fatty acids)
major duodenal papilla combined entry point for common bile duct and main pancreatic duct (pancreatic enzymes and bile)
minor duodenal papilla above the major, drains the accessory pancreatic duct (pancreatic juice)
liver--> pancreas----> bile insulin glucagon, pancreatic juice
stomach----> moth --> pancreas--> pepsin (protein breakdown) + gastric lipase salivary amylase (starch and sugar breakdown) digests fats
parietal stomach cells produces HCl and intrinsic factor
HCl gives stomach high acidity
intrinsic factor necessary for absorption of vitamin B12
pepsinogen + HCl --> pepsin
pepsin used to digest proteins
four main regions of the stomach (1)cardia, (2) fundus, (3) body, (4) pylorus
pyloric sphincter located at the bottom of the stomach, controls the rate at which chyme leaves the stomach to go to the small intestine
chyme food after it goes thru the stomach
gastroesophageal sphincter located at the top of the stomach, prevents acid reflux into the esophagus
peristalsis rhythmic contraction of smooth muscle in one direction
segmentation rhythmic contraction of smooth muscle back and forth (small intestine)
small vs large intestine small is 3x smaller than large small absorbs nutrients large absorbs water
right primary bronchus more vertical, shorter and wider
left primary bronchus less vertical, longer and narrower
pulmonary tree branching system of airways transporting air from the trachea to gas exchanging alveoli
bronchial tree trachea --> primary bronchi --> secondary --> tertiary --> bronchioles --> terminal bronchioles --> respiratory bronchioles --> alveolar ducts --> alveolar sacs
asthma airway inflammation and spasms (super allergy)
emphysema destruction of alveoli reducing surface area for oxygen exchange
hemoglobin transports oxygen 4 heme groups attached to each globulin protein
bohr effect relationship between pH and oxygen's affinity for hemoglobin more accidic pH promotes oxygen dissociation from hemoglobin and a higher pH inhibits the more CO2 in blood, the more molecules that have to be converted, generating H+ --> lowering blood pH
Carbon dioxide transport 1) blood plasma --> 7% 2) bicarbonate --> 70% 3) carbaminohemoglobin --> 23%
importance of surface tension in the lungs serous fluid creates surface tension, which prevents the lungs from deflating
pneumothorax air in the lungs--> lungs collapse
inhale vs exhale inhale is lower than 760mmHg exhale is greater than 760 mmHg
diaphragmatic deep breathing
costal shallow breathing
pharynx vs larynx throat voicebox
medulla oblongata controls rate/ pattern of breathing
pons controls breathing sped (fast/slow)
residual volume (RV) air left in the lungs even after exhaling as much as possible (prevents alveoli from collapsing)
tidal volume (TV) amount of air that normally enters the lungs during quiet breathing; usable air
oxygen used by the body to drive energy production
carbon dioxide waste product from breathing, regulates pH
nitrogen pushes oxygen in, maintains alveolar pressure and prevents rapid oxidation
vital capacity (VC) amount of air one can move in/out of the lungs; what is usable and makes it to alveoli sum of all volumes except RV
total lung capacity (TLC) sum of all volumes; the amount of air one can hold in their lungs after a forceful inhalation
TLC ref range 6000 males 4200 females
diaphragm separates the chest and abdomen contracts downwards to increase thoracic volume allowing air to rush into the lungs; primary inspiratory muscle
intercostals between the ribs, expands during inspiration and assist with quiet breathing
abdominals drive forced exhalation
right lung 3 lobes- superior, middle, inferior
left lung 2 lobes - superior and inferior
true vocal cords white membranes fold attached to the thyroid and arytenoid cartilage of the larynx; inner edges are free allowing sound to be produced
false vocal cords folded section of mucous membrane on top of the true for protection
nasal cavities vs sinuses nasal cavities warm, moisten and filter air sinuses product mucus (warms and moistens)
sinuses named for associated bone; frontal, maxillary, sphenoidal, and ethmoid
surfactant oily serous fluid type mixture that reduces surface tension to prevent alveolar collapse
mucus traps pathogens and lubricates surfaces, open to outside world
serous fluid provides lubrication
thyroid vs cricoid cartilage thyroid--> larger, above cricoid cricoid --> smaller, forms a ring
type I alveolar cells make up 97% alveolar surface area, 25nm thick and highly permeable
type II alveolar cells secretes pulmonary surfactant
type III alveolar cells macrophages remove debris and pathogens
