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
