A

Small intestine

19
Q

Signals pancreas to secrete pancreatic fluids into small intestine

20
Q

Insulin: location

A

Pancreas

21
Q

Insulin: action

A

lowers blood glucose levels

22
Q

Glucagon: location

A

Pancreas

23
Q

A

Raises blood glucose levels

24
Q

Cholecystokinin (CCK): production

A

Small intestine

25
Q

Cholecystokinin (CCK): action

A

Stimulates gallbladder to secrete bile into small intestine

26
Q

How can you separate hormones and enzymes

A

Hormones end with n with the exception of pepsin and tryspin

27
Q

How does the brain control the respiratory system

A

An increase of CO2 results in faster breathing. The medulla oblongata controls this.

28
Q

What are chemoreceptors

A

Detects CO2 and O2 levels. The carotid and Aorta

29
Q

The three blood vessels in the body

A

Veins= brings deoxygenated blood to heart
