Anatomical Planes
Coronal/Frontal: First thing you see
Transverse or cross section: Tranny
Sagittal or median: L/R
What controls breathing?
The medulla oblongata through monitoring of carbon dioxide and blood ph
Types of white blood cells
Granulocytes(basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils) and agranulocytes(monocytes and lymphocytes)
Pepsinogen
Produced in the stomach, activated by HCL, converts to pepsin to digest proteins
Ghrelin
Induces hunger
Leptin
Causes the sensation of satiety
Where is sperm produced?
In the seminiferous tubules
What does the prostate do?
Produces fluids necessary for nourishment of sperm
What initiates puberty in males?
The production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. This triggers FSH and LH to be released from the anterior pituitary gland. LH stimulates the release of testosterone. FSH and testosterone trigger the development of sperm celss
What initiates puberty in females?
The production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. This triggers FSH and LH to be released from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH triggers estrogen production. The release of estrogen causes eggs to mature and the uterine endometrium to thiken. LH causes the an egg to be released. The corpus luteum then produces large amounts of progesterone to prepare for implantation.
What part of the immune system does the skin fall under?
Innate
Ceruminous Glands
Ear wax production
