Q

What is Tubular Reabsorption?

A

The process in which substances the body needs (glucose, amino acids, Na, Ca, Cl, and water) re-enter the blood from the filtrate.

16
Q

Define specific gravity.

A

Is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of distilled water. In urine it is the relative amount of solute to solvent.

17
Q

Define diuresis.

A

Excessive production of urine.

18
Q

Which 2 hormones are secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?

A

ADH and oxytocin

19
Q

What are the functions of oxytocin?

A
  • stimulates smooth muscles contractions in the uterus for delivery
  • milk ejection from mammary glands
  • sexual arousal and affectionate behaviors in males
20
Q

Which protein are Thyroxin (T4) and Triiodothyroxine (T3) derived from?

A

Thyroglobulin

21
Q

Parafollicular cells are produced by which hormone of the thyroid gland?

A

Calcitonin.

22
Q

What are the 3 zones of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland.

A

1) Zona Glomerulus
2) Zona Fasiculata
3) Zona Reticularis

23
Q

Which hormone does the zona glomerulus secret?

A

Aldosterone; stimulates the kidneys to retain sodium in the body fluids and excrete potassium in the urine.

24
Q

Which adrenal cortex zone secrets the adrenal sex hormones?

A

Zona Reticularis

25
Q

Cortisol which is a stress fighting hormone is produced where in the adrenal glands?

A

Zona Fasiculata

26
Q

Where are epinephrine and norepinephrine secreted?

A

Adrenal Medulla of the adrenal glands.

27
Q

Where is the pancreas located?

A

Between the duodenum and the stomach.

28
Q

What percentage of exocrine and endocrine glands are located in the pancreas?

A

Exocrine 98%

Endocrine 2% (Islets of Langerhans)

29
Q

What are the affects of blood glucose level regarding insulin?

A

Insulin lower blood glucose level and is released by Beta (b) cells in the Islets.

30
Q

Which hormone increases blood glucose levels and is released by Alpha (a) cells in the Islets?

A

Glucagon
