Anatomy and Physiology part 7 Flashcards
106-110
Urinary system responsibility and main structures
Eliminated the waste and regulates PH
Kidney, Urters, Bladder, Uretha
PH scale for alkaline
7-14
PH for acidic
0-7
Blood is filtered through the nephrons
Kindneys
Passageway for urine
Ureters
Collects urine until ready to eliminate
Bladder
Transports urine from the blatter out of the body
Urethra
Sensory organs function and main structures
Detect sensations, sending information to the brain/spinal cord to be be processed, interpreted, and responed
Ears, Eyes, Tonge, and skin
Auricle
Outer ear made of elastic cartilage
Ear lobe
Made of flesh and contains an abundance of blood vessles
Helix
Curved structure in the outer eat
Antihelix
Curved structure further inside the ear
Tympanic membrane/ ear drum
Seperates the outer and middle ear, sound waves cause the membrane to vibrate
Bones in middle ear that amplify hearing
Malleus, Incus, Stapes
Eustachian tube
Small tube that runs from the middle ear to the pharynx; Controls air and water pressure
Inner ear contains the
Bony labyrinth; Semicircular canals and cochlea
Semicircular canals
Responsible for balence and perception of equilibrium; Detected with fluid that detects motion
Cochlea
Responsible for converting vibrations into electrical signals allowing hearing
Orbital socket
Where the eye is situated; made of three layers
Primary parts of the eye
Anterior segment: Iris, Lens, Aqueous humor, and cornea
Posterior segments: Sclera, Retina, Choroid, and vitreous humor
Sclera
White tough part of the outer eyeball
Iris
Colored part of the eyeball made of smooth muscles; Diolator(more light) and contractor (less light)nmuscle
Choroid
Middle layer of the eye wheeere majority of blood vessels are located
Pupil
hole in the center of the iris allowing light in
