produced by the liver, it emulsifies fats
where does chemical digestion occur
mouth and small intestine
where does mechanical digestion occur
stomach
why does saliva contribute to chemical digestion?
saliva digests a small amount of starch (salivary amylase) and fat (salivary amylase and lingual lipase)
function of parietal cells?
in stomach, make HCl, intrinsic factor, and Ghrelin
function of chief cells
in stomach, make pepsinogen and gastric lipade
function of kidneys
filter blood plasma and excrete toxic waste.
also regulate blood volume and pressure, regulate osmolarity, regulate electrolyte and acid-base balance
function of urinary system
extract waste from bodily fluids and eliminate them

waht 2 parts make up the nephron
renal corpuscle and renal tubule
what is a renal corpuscle made of (2 things)
globerulus and globerular capsule
what extends from the glomular capsule to the collecting duct
renal tubule
what consists of a descending and ascending limb
nephron loop
the renal tubule consists of:
proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, distal convoluted tubule
where does most of nephron reabsorption occur
proximal tubule
difference between male and female urinary systems?
urethra length, and male urethra has 3 names depending on where it is
3 names of male urethra
prostatic urethra, membraneous urethra, spongey (penile) urethra
what is a condition developed from dysfunction of kidneys that may lead to uremia
azotemis
what is the most common form of nitrogenous waste excreted, and is excreted by humans
urea
what is a hilum
slit in kidney
what are the 3 layers of protection of the kidney
renal fascia, perirenal fat capsule, fibrous capsule
what are the 3 layers of the ureter wall and what do they consist of?
mucosa: transitional epithelium

adventitia: connective tissue binding to surrounding organs
what % of blood goes through the kidneys
21%
what are the penile erectile tissues?
coprus spongiosum (only in males) and coprora cavernosa (both males and females)
what artery supplies the penile erectile tissue
internal pudendal artery, which branches to dorsal a and deep a
what are the steps for follicle development
o Promodial follicle – egg and one layer of follicular cells
o Primary follicle – larger egg, one later of cuboidal follicular cells
o Secondary follicle – larger egg, two or more layers of granulosa cells
o Tertiary follicle – contains fluid-filled pockets pr a single fluid-filled antrum among granulosa cells
o Mature (graafian) follicle – larger blister bulging from ovary; contains cumulus oophorus with zona pellucida as inner layer
o Ovulation of 2ndary oocyte from mature follicle occurs around day 14 of menstrual cycle
o Collapsed follicle becomes corpus luteum
what hormone does the corpus luteum produce and is closely related to follicular development
progesterone
After the egg is fertilized, _____ produces _____ for how long?
corpus luteum produces progesterone for first 3 months
where is the corpus luteum located
in ovaries
