idk Flashcards
pancrease location
Retroperitoneal – posterior to stomach
Endocrine islets secrete
insulin and glucagon
exocrine tissue secreting
pancreatic juice
Enzymes, zymogens (inactive precursors of enzymes), sodium
bicarbonate, water, and electrolytes
Branching ducts
– Pancreatic duct
– Accessory pancreatic duct – opens at minor duodenal papilla
Acinar cells
specialized cells in the pancreas that produce, store, and release digestive enzymes into the small intestine
GERD
lower esophagegeal sphincter weakens and like stomach acid into esophagus
“heart burn”
Barrett esophagus
– metaplasia of stratified
squamous into simple columnar epithelium
10% of GERD
hiatal hernia
stomach protrusion into thoracic cavity
might balloon
Diverticulitis
Presence of inflamed herniations (outpocketings, diverticula) of the colon
can rupture
Diverticulitis
associated with low fiber
Cirrhosis of liver
irreversible
caused by alcohol
may cause jaundice, liver hypoxia, failure, necrosis
cirrhosis appearence
cobbly and hard
urinary system function
rid of metabolic wastes, hormones, drugs regulate water, electrolytes, acid base reactions,
urinary system hormones
erythropoietin
calcitriol synthesis
calcitriol synthesis
Ca2+ absorption
erythropoietin
RBC production
kidney located
retroperitoneal, against posterior abdominal wall
Superior pole of the L kidney is at the
level of
T12 spine
glands resting on
Superior poles
superior pole of r kidney to accommodate liver
2 cm lower
kidney fibrous capsule
Dense irregular
CT that covers outer surface of
kidney
kidney perinephric fat
fat for cushioning
kindey renal fasica
dense irregular tissue anchoring kidney to posterior abdominal wall
