exam 2 Flashcards
glycogenesis
Formation of glycogen from glucose
glycogenolysis
breakdown of glycogen to glucose
lipolysis
the breakdown of stored fats into glycerol and fatty acids
The term “essential amino acid” refers to …
those amino acids that the body cannot synthesize
lenoleic
lenolenic
what muscle churns food in the stomach?
inner oblique layer
what must air pass through when going from the pharynx to the trachea?
larynx
structure that prevents food from entering the airway
Epiglottis
The membrane that adheres to the outer surface of the lungs
visceral pleura
What delivers air to the lobes of the lungs?
Secondary bronchi
An increase in the volume of a container filled with air would have what effect on the pressure of the container?
Decrease the pressure
what does surfactant do?
decreases the surface tension in the alveoli
This volume of air remains in the lungs after maximal expiration.
Residual volume
what will Low PO2 and high PCO2 in the alveoli cause?
constriction of pulmonary capillaries and dilation of bronchioles.
how is the majority of carbon dioxide transported?
as bicarbonate ions
In the tissues, hemoglobin will release some oxygen and bind to…
hydrogen ions
The chloride shift refers to:
chloride ions moving into or out of the red blood cell.
what controls normal quiet respiration?
ventral respiratory group
The inflation reflex depends upon stimulation of which type of receptor?
Mechanoreceptors
When holding our breath for a long time we get the urge to breathe due to:
an increase in CO2.
The chemical and mechanical process of food breakdown is called…
digestion
The sheets of peritoneal membrane that hold the digestive tract in place
mesenteries
where is chyme created?
stomach
Hydrochloric acid is secreted by which of the secretory cells of the stomach?
parietal cells
The enzymatic breakdown of any type of food molecule is called
hydrolysis
what is secretin released in response to?
acidic chyme entering the small intestine
Which vitamin requires intrinsic factor in order to be absorbed?
B12
Chemical digestion reduces large complex molecules to simpler compounds by the process of:
catabolism
The terminal portion of the small intestine
ileum
major function of the large intestine
remove waste materials
The site of production of secretin and cholecystokinin
small intestine
A fluid secreted in the small intestine during digestion that contains cholesterol, emulsification agents, and phospholipids
bile
the total amount of gas flow into or out of the respiratory tract in one minute
Minute ventilation (MV)
gas forcibly expelled after taking a deep breath
forced vital capacity (FVC)
the flow of gases into and out of the alveoli during a particular time
alveolar ventilation rate (AVR)
the sphincter that allows food to enter the stomach
gastroesophageal sphincter
digestive function of the stomach
protein digestion
what happens in Substrate-level phosphorylation?
High energy phosphate groups are directly transferred from phosphorylated substrates to ADP
what is insulin released in response to?
glucose and animo acids
hormone that regulates almost all processes of the absorptive state
insulin
what are enzymes of the microvilli called?
brush boarder enzymes
type of phosphorylation that couples the movement of substances across a membrane to chemical
reactions
Oxidative phosphorylation
the opening on the terminal end of the large intestine
anus
the last subdivision of the small intestine
ileum
fatty acids that enhance excretion of cholesterol
unsaturated
Where does the small intestine start and where does it end?
Pyloric sphincter, ileocecal valve
What are the two types of salivary glands?
Extrinsic and intrinsic
which type of salivary gland is independent of food intake?
intrinsic glands
hormones produced by enteroendocrine cells of the stomach glands
Histamine, serotonin, somatostatin, gastrin
