Final Flashcards
Storage of glucose molecules, often occurs in liver
glycogenesis
Produced by chief cells of the stomach
pepsinogen
immunity provided by antibodies in colostrum and breast milk
natural passive immunity
causes sodium reabsorption
aldosterone
responsible for concentrating the urine by the countercurrent mechanism
juxtamedulary nephron
loss of heat in the form of infrared waves
radiation
region of the bladder where most UTI’s occur
trigone
stimulates gallbladder contraction and pancreatic secretions
CCK
system of blood
bicarbonate buffer
contains all essential amino acids
complete protein
important for electron transport chain; derived from Kreb’s cycle
NADH
body’s internal environment; 30-40% of body water
ECF (extracellular fluid)
regulates emptying of stomach
pyloric sphincter
pH of <7.35
acidosis
cell type infected by HIV
T-helper cells
primary hormone of absorptive state
insulin
a mature follicle on the ovary
Grafian follicle
nerve of cervical plexus that supplies diaphragm
phernic nerve
produced by stomach; needed for vitamin B12 absorption in SI
intrinsic factor
producing glucose from non-carbohydrates; occurs in the postabsorptive state
gluconeogenesis
opposes filtration in nephron
capsular hydrostatic pressure
alcohol drinking will decrease its production leading to fluid loss
ADH
may be caused by accumulation of lactic acid, alcohol
metabolic acidosis
posterior pituitary hormone causes milk ejection or letdown
oxytocin
hormone that stimulates sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion
aldosterone
carries wastes and CO2 to placenta from the fetus
umbilical artery
fat digesting enzyme
lipase
produces FSH, TSH, ACTH, etc.
anterior pituitary
result of a lack of intrinsic factor or lack of vitamin B12
pernicous anemia
site where blood pressure is lowest
vein
pancreatic protein-digesting enxyme
trypsin
longest stage of parturition
dilation stage
produce testosterone
interstitial cells
type of epithelium lining the trachea
pseudostratified columnar
hormone that increases metabolic rate of body
thyroxine
WBC that targets parasites
eosinophils
2/3 of body water
ICF
day 15-28 of uterine cycle; uterus preparing to house a zygote
secretory phase
systolic minus diastolic pressure
pulse pressure
produce antibodies’ produced from B cells
plasma cells
macrophages and dendritic ells
antigen presenting cells
lung bypass found between atria of fetus
foramen ovale
slight delay of signal occurs here
AV node
Type of epithelium lining of urinary bladder and uteters
transitional
site of sperm storage and maturation
epididymis
gland that produces 1/3 of semen volume, including many enzymes
prostate
structure which houses developing oocyte
follicle
primary glucocorticoid of adrenal cortex
cortisol
occurs in seminiferous tubules to produce spermatozoa
spermatogenesis
left atrioventricular valve; prevents backflow of blood into left ventricle
mitral valve
contraceptive device placed in uterus to interfere with endometrium
IUD
produces melatonin
pineal gland
blastocyst uses enzymes to invade endometrium
implantation
transports oxygen-poor blood to lungs from right ventricle
pulmonary trunk
contains red pulp and white pulp, reflecting its RBC destruction and lymphatic roles
spleen
solid ball of cells stage
morula
ventricular depolarization
QRS
controls blood calcium levels
PTH
produces calcitonin and thyroxine
thyroid gland
ventricular repolarization
T wave
hypoventilation will cause this
respiratory acidosis
caused by closure of AV valve
“lub” or first heart sound
wall composed of only endothelium
capillary
stimulates uterine contractions and milk-letdown
oxytocin
ECF is composed primarily of ________.
plasma
secreted by virus infected cells - helps protect other cells from viral replication
interferon
most numerous agranulocytic WBC
lymphocyte
Produces 60% of the semen volume; produces a thick, alkaline fluid
seminal vesicle
absorbs lipids in villi of small intestine
lacteal
structure which transports an egg cell to uterus; site of fertilization
oviduct
specialized connections between cardiocytes
intercalated discs
lymphatic organ that involutes as we age; T-cell production
thymus
most common plasma protein
albumin
60% of water loss
urine
rapid mitotic divisions following fertilization
cleavage
control blood flow into capillary bed
pre-capillary sphinctor
pituitary hormone that stimulates gamete formation
FSH
an increase in this cell type would occur during bacterial infection
neutrophil
stimulates production of milk by mammary glands
prolactin
Waste product excreted by kidney; product of protein metabolism
urea
pacemaker of the heart
SA node
carries oxygen and nutrient rich blood to fetus
umbilical vein
primary way CO2 is transported to blood
carbonic acid
final produce of blood clot formation
fibrin
result of hyerventilation
respiratory alkalosis
site where blood flow is slowest
capillary
