final review Flashcards
polysaccharides
starch, glycogen
disaccharides
lactose, maltose, sucrose
what does sucrose break down into
glucose, fructose
what does maltose break down into
glucose
lactose
galactose and glucose
does carbohydrate at 37 degrees digest
no
fertilization occurs in the
fallopian tubes
know where promixal tubes are
carbohydrates use what enzymes
salivary amylase in mouth
pancreatic amylase in small intestine
= break starch into maltose
how to identify liver in the microscope slides
it has “holes”
Gene
A section of DNA that codes for a specific trait or protein
Example: The gene for eye color
Allele
A variant or version of a gene
You inherit two alleles for each gene (one from each parent)
Example: Blue eyes vs. brown eyes are alleles of the eye color gene
which germ layers are apart of embryonic development
ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm
where does the placenta develope
chorion
what phase does the primordial follicle get arrested in
prophase/meiosis I
which stage of the urterine cycle is when the progesteron/estorgen drop?
meses
anterior pituitary, how does it appear on slides
- in the brain
- dense histology
- secretes 5 hormones
posterior pituitary
- secretes 2 hormones (oxytocin/ adh)
What are the three zones of the adrenal cortex?
Zona glomerulosa, zona fasciculata, zona reticularis
What does the zona glomerulosa secrete?
(2nd lightest)
Mineralocorticoids like aldosterone
-Increases reabsorption of sodium in the kidneys (helps regulate blood pressure)
What does the zona fasciculata secrete?
(lightest one)
Glucocorticoids like cortisol
-Affects the rate of glucose metabolism, helps with stress response
What does the zona reticularis secrete?
(darkest)
Androgens – precursors to male and female sex hormones
What does the adrenal medulla secrete?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
-Trigger the “fight or flight” response (increase heart rate, blood flow to muscles)
what type of epithielium is in the esophagus
NOT ciliated (stratified)
