107
Q

Role of ADH

A

Cause membrane of collecting tubules to be more permeable to water to be reabsorbed so less urine is excreted.

108
Q

Course of action of ADH

A

Signal sent to posterior pituitary. ADH released. Kidney tubules absorb more water. Osmotic pressure decreases and cells are hydrated. Nerve message sent to posterior pituitary and no more ADH released

109
Q

Role of Aldosterone

A

Increased salt reabsorption in distal tubules and collecting ducts so increased water reabsorption

110
Q

Action of aldosterone

A

Made in adrenal cortex. Targets kidney tubules. Control salt water balance by increasing Na+ reabsorption

111
Q

ADH produced and stored

A

Made in hypothalamus and stored in posterior pituitary

112
Q

Diuretics

A

Ex. Alcohol green tea. Decreases the release of ADH and therefore the tube is less permeable. So less water reabsorbed so lots of pee

113
Q

Action of juxtaglomerular apparatus in regulating BP

A

Detects low BP. Renin released to convert angiotensinogen to angiotensin. Vasoconstriction to increase BP. Aldosterone increased for higher Na+ reabsorption. Helps maintain BP during stress

114
Q

Fresh water fish

A

Actively transport water and salt back into body by kidney and gills. Highly diluted urine is excreted to get rid of excess water

115
Q

Marine fish

A

Lose water through gills and salt is actively excreted. Small quantities of urine excreted.

116
Q

Amphibian

A

Lose water by osmosis. Water reabsorbed by kidney to be stored for a reserve

117
Q

Reptile

A

Converts nitrogenous waste to insoluble Uric acid which is excreted with little water loss

118
Q

Bird

A

Concerts ammonia to insoluble uric acid which needs little water to be excreted so water can be excreted then absorbed. by kidneys

119
Q

GnRH role in spermatogenesis

A

Secreted by hypothalamus ever two hours to stimulate pituitary gland to release FSH and LH

120
Q

FSH role in spermatogenesis

A

Initiates sperm production at puberty maintains sperm production and growth of servility cell to nourish sperm.

121
Q

What inhibits FSH production

A

Fertility cell secretions

122
Q

LH role in spermatogenesis

A

Stimulates testosterone To be produced. Controls growth and function of male reproductive structure. Secretes sex hormones

123
Q

What triggers ovulation

A

Rising LH decreasing FSH resulting from an increase in estrogen

124
Q

Corpus cavernosum

A

Two masses of sponge like tissue made of smooth muscle and blood vessels. Extend to almost head of penis. Fills with blood during erection. Is 90% of blood

125
Q

Corpus Spongiosum

126
Q

Prostate gland

A

Produced prostate fluid that protects sperm

127
Q

Seminal vesicles

128
Q

Cowper’s glands

Steps in formation of urine 10

A

Blood goes thru bowmans capsule. Only filtrate gets thru. No blood cells or proteins. Proximal tubules reabsorbs glucose and amino acids and k+. Active transport of Na+ out. Water reabsorbed at bottom of loop of Henle so more concentrated solution at bottom. Hormones decide how much water needs to eat reabsorbed. More sodium enters collecting tube and then urines excreted

151
Q

Filtration

A

Blood cells platelets and plasma proteins are too big to go thru bowmans capsule so are filtered out. Water ions glucose and nitrogenous waste are small enough to fit thru so aren’t filtered out

152
Q

Reabsorption

A

Active transports back into the interstitial fluid are glucose amino acid and other useful minerals. These are reabsorbed because it’s more efficient for the body to reuse them

153
Q

Secretion

A

Different amounts of H+ and K+ are secreted into filtrate to balance acidity and to be excreted by urine

154

A

Made in AP. targets thyroid. Stimulates secretion of thyroid hormones and growth of thyroid gland

173
Q

ACTH

A

Made in AP targets adrenal cortex. Stimulates secretion of glucacarotoids by adrenal cortex.

174
Q

GM somatropin

A

Bone soft tissue. Made in AP. stimulates growth of bones

175
Q

FSH female

A

Made in ap. stimulates egg growth. Targets ovaries

176
Q

LH in females

A

Targets ovaries. Made in AP. regulates ovulation

177
Q

Prolactin.

A

Made in ap. targets mammary glands. Stimulates breast and milk production

178
Q

Oxytocin

A

Stored in PP. targets uterus and mammary glands. Promotes uterus contraction. Stimulates milk release

179
Q

ADH

A

Stored in PP. increase water reabsorption

180
Q

Thyroxin

A

Stored in th. targets most cells and increases metabolic rate.

181
Q

Calcitonin

A

Made in th. targets bones. Decrease calcium concentration in blood b

182
Q

Insulin

A

Targets blood sugar. When increased blood sugar the insulin production is increased

183
Q

Glucagon

A

Targets blood sugar. When low blood sugar glucagon production increases

184
Q

Aldosterone

A

In AD. Targets kidney tubules increases sodium reabsorption.

185
Q

Cortisol

A

Made in AC. Targets most body cells. Increased blood glucose by promoting breakdown of protein and fat

186
Q

Epinephrin. Adrenalin

A

Made in AD. Targets receptor sites throughout body. Contributes to body’s response to stress

187
Q

Inhibin

A

Made in testes. Inhibits secretion of FSH

188
Q

Testosterone

A

Made in testes. Stimulates secondary sex characteristics

189
Q

Estrogen

A

Induces growth of uterus and onset of menstrual cycle

190
Q

Progesterone

A

Promotes development of endometrium

191
Q

Retina to brain pathway

A

Rods/cones - bipolar cells - ganglion cells - optic nerve - thalamus - primary visual cortex - visual association cortex

192
Q

Division of nervous system

A

Peripheral nervous system and central nervous system

193
Q

Divisions of peripheral nervous system

A

Somatic and autonomic nervous system

194
Q

Divisions of central neurons

A

Brain and spinal cord

195
Q

Somatic nerves

A

Are voluntary. Sensory nerves and motor nerves

196
Q

Autonomic nervous system

A

Involuntary. Parasympathetic and sympathetic

197
Q

Anabolic steroid

A

Stanozolol it increases muscle strength and mass. Decreases growth. Causes kidney problems. Hair loss

198
Q

Peptide hormones

A

Growth hormone. Decrease fat and increase muscle. Causes diabetes bone abnormalities increases blood pressure

199
Q

Masking agents

A

Probenecid. Stops excretion of steroids for a few hours. Causes headaches and swelling nausea

200
Q

Anabolic steroids

A

Mimic muscle building characteristics of testosterone

201
Q

Acrosomal reactions

A

Contents of acrosome are released by separation of acrosomal cap from sperm. Proteases from acrosome digest route for spent through zona pellucida. Allows the sperm to reach the plasma membrane of egg

202
Q

Cortical reactions

A

Small vesicles called cortical granules move to plasma membrane of egg and fuse it with releasing there contents by exocytosis. Enzymes cause cross linking of glycoproteins in the zona pellucida making it hard and prevents entry of any more sperm

203
Q

Pathway of reflex arc

A

Stimulus causes action potential in sensory receptor. Message travels along sensory dendrite. Message travels along sensory axon. Message reaches interneuron dendrite. Message splits one to brain and one to motor neuron dendrite. Message travels along motor neuron axon. Message causes muscles to contract
