Q

25.3 Group the various metabolic processes into the “absorptive” and “post-absorptive” states.

A
  1. Absorptive: glucose is major energy source, glycogenesis, insulin is key hormone, storage of triglycerides in adipose
  2. Postabsorptive; fatty acids released from adipose tissue, gluconeogensis, glycogenolysis, fatty acids released from adipose tissue

Q

25.4 List the major metabolic effects of insulin, glucagon.

A
  1. Insulin: stimulus: hyperglycemia,causes decrease in blood glucose
  2. Glucagan: Stimulus –hypoglycemia
    Causes an increase in blood glucose
17
Q

26.2 Locate the organs of the urinary system and explain the general function of each.

A
  1. Kidneys–regulate blood volume and composition, help regulate BP, vit. D synthesis, forms and excretes urine
  2. Ureters–transports urine from kidneys to urinary bladder
  3. Bladder-store urine
  4. Urethra–discharges urine from body
18
Q

26.3 Describe the structure of a kidney.

A

Kidney is covered by renal fascia, renal cortex, renal medulla with renal pyraminds separated by renal columns.
Minor Calyces drain to Major then renal pelvis to ureter

19
Q

26.5 Trace a drop of filtrate from glomerulus to urethra, listing in sequence each structure through which it passes.

A
  1. Glomerulus, Bowman’s capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of Henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting duct, papillary duct, minor calyx, major calyx, renal pelvis, ureter, urinary pelvis, ureter, urinary bladder
20
Q

26.6 Describe the process of urine formation, including the processes of glomerular filtration, tubular reabsorption, and tubular secretion. List some examples of substances involved in each process.

A
  1. Glomerular Filtration–water, solutes
  2. Tubular reabsorption–filtered fluid flows along renal tubule where 99% is reaborbed into blood via peritubular capillaries (glucose, amino acids, urea, Na+, K+, Ca2, Cl
  3. Tubular secretion: collection of waste products transported from blood into tubules
    (H+, K+, ammonia ions, creatiine, certain drugs).
21
Q

27.2 Explain the concept of water balance, and list the sources of water gain and loss from the body. Identify which one is most significant in the homeostatic control of body water.

A

Water balance must be correctly proportioned throughout body for homeostasis.
H2O GAIN occurs from ingested liquids, moist food absorbed in GI, metabolic
H2O LOSS occurs from excretion of urine, evaporation, exhalation, elimination.

22
Q

27.3 Explain the role of the rennin-angiotensin system and aldosterone in maintaining the homeostatic control of water volume in the body. Explain the relationship between sodium and water retention and excretion.

A

Kidneys secrete renin into blood which catalized angiotensinogen and converts to angiotensin I. ACE within plmonary blood vessels catalized agI into angiotensin II. This stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce aldosterone with stimulates an increase in sodium and water absorbtion. This increases blood volume and blood pressure.

23
Q

27.4 Explain the role of ADH in maintaining ECF osmolarity.

A

Antidiuretic Hormone is produced by hypothalamus. It is stimulated by increased osmolarity of body fluids. ADH promotes water retention by increasing water reabsorption to cells. ADH makes the renal tubules reabsorb less water and produces a concentrated urine.
2. When H2O levels are high ADH shuts down, and dilute urine is produced.

24
Q

27.6 Explain the contribution of blood buffers and the respiratory and urinary systems to acid-base homeostasis.

A

To remove H+ from the ECF.

  1. Buffer act quickly to bind H+ to keep pH neutral.
  2. Increase in rate and depth of breathing removes more CO2 which decreases level of carbonic acid in blood increasing pH. Shallow breathing increases H+ in blood decreasing pH. (acidosis)
  3. H+ is secreted via urine, slowest mechanism but has highest amount of H+ unloaded.
25
Q

28.5 List the functions/effects of testosterone, GnRH, FSH, LH, and inhibin in males.

A

GnRH (hypothalamus)-stimulates gonadotrophs to secrete FSH and LH

  1. LH (anter. pituitary)–stimulates Leydid to secrete testosterone
  2. FSH (ant pit)–stimulates spermatogenesis
  3. Inhibin–(sertoli cells)–inhibits FSH
  4. Testosterone(Leydig cells)
26
Q

28.6 Trace the passage of sperm from their point of development through the ducts of the male. Name all glands (in order) that add semen as the sperm are expelled during ejaculation.

A

Seminiferous tubules-rete testis–efferent ductules–epididymis–ductus deferen, seminal vesicle, ejaculatory duct.
2. seminal vesicles, prostate, bulbouretheral

27
Q

28.8 Locate the organs of the female reproductive system and describe function of each.

A
  1. Ovaries–produce secondary oocytes, progesterone, estrogen, relaxin
  2. Uterine tubes: transports secondary oocytes to uterus
  3. Uterus: site of implantation and fetal development
28
Q

28.10 Describe the steps of oogenesis and compare it to spermatogenesis. Note the timing of the different steps.

A

Differences: 1. timing, and number produced

29
Q

28.12 Describe the events of the menstrual cycle occurring in the ovaries and the uterus and then explain the hormonal interactions that control them.

A

x

30
Q

Main organ of metabolism

A

Liver
