lecture notes Flashcards
four major secretory cells found in stomach
- mucous cells
- parietal cells
- chief cells
- G cells
parietal cells
secrete hydrochloric acid, needed to activate pepsinogen
nutrition
process of ingesting/utilizing nutrients for energy
lg intestine
absorbs water/eliminates waste
metabolism allows chemical reactions that
- produce heat to maintain body temp
- conduct neural impulses
- contact muscles
carbohydrate metabolism
generates ATP
lipid metabolism
energy storage and release
protein metabolism
provides amino acids
carbohydrates
provide energy
fat-soluble vitamines
A, D, E, K
water-soluble
all other vitamins
macrominerals
sodium, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfer
microminerals
iron, zinc, fluoride, copper
hypothalamus
regulates hunger/satiety
digestive system is essential for:
- digesting/extracting macronutrients
- absorbing nutrients
- forming barrier against microorganisms/foreign materials
produce/secrete digestive enzymes
salivary glands, pancreas, liver
needed for elimination
- motility/patency
- neuromuscular signaling
- adequate perfusion
primary roles of kidneys
- regulation of body fluids
- balance btwn acids/basis
kidneys
- filter water-soluble substances from blood
- reabsorb filtered nutrients, water, electrolytes
- secrete waste
should not be present in urine
glucose, ketones, nitrite, bacteria, leukocyte esterase, crystals, stones, protein
visceral pain
- radiating/generalized
- difficult to determine precise location
somatic pain
- sharp, intense, localized to specific site
- caused by injury to abd wall/parietal peritoneum
referred
- felt at location different from origin of pain
- caused by sharing a common afferent pathway btwn organ of pain and referred location
labs for kidney disease
CFR, CMP, BUN, creatinine, urinalysis, CBC
PUD/GERD labs
liver, kidney, CBC, platelets, electrolytes
antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
hypothalamus - posterior pituitary
promotes water reabsorption (retention of fluids)
corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH)
hypothalamus
controls release of pituitary hormones
epinephrine | norepinephrine
adrenal medulla
transmits neural impulses
glucagon
pancreatic islet cells
stimulates glycogen breakdown in the liver to increase glucose in blood
