35 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
blood pathway
superior/inferior vena cava --> RA, RV --> pul art, vein --> LA, LV --> aorta, body
3 portal systems
extra cap bed before blood back to heart; hepatic (liver); hypophyseal (hypothal --> ant pit)
oxygen dissoc released as result of bohr effect by what mechanism?
H+ binds to Hb and causes O2 dissociation
what proteins are involved in clotting?
platelets: release thromboplastin --> thrombin --> activates fibrin
presence or absence of Rh factor will make antibodies?
Rh- makes antibodies to Rh+!
why are arterial walls thicker than veinous?
so no expand under high bp
which type of blood vessel has valves? Why?
veins - high enough bp that needs to prevent backflow (not as high as artery which forces flow in 1 direc)
describe the 3 mods/valves in fetal circ to bypass lungs + liver
forman ovale(RA --> LA), ductus arteriosus (pul art --> aorta), ductus veinosus (umb vein --> inf vena cava to bypass liver)
describe coordinated contraction of heart
originates in pacemaker (SA node) --> AV node --> bundle of His --> Purkingee fibers (squeezes bottom up to force blood out)
how are AA and sugars put into blood?
from intest capillaries --> liver thru hepatic portal sys
role blood pressure plays in kidneys
bp provides E to force fluid into glom b/c w/o hydrostatic P, fluid in space --> hypertonic w/ proteins blood plasma (down osmo grad)
order of pee goes:
kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra
3 jobs of kidney:
filtration (passive only, filtrate + small ions pass into), reabsorbtion, secretion (wastes, K+, acids/bases)
order renal blood goes in
renal artery, afferent arteriole, glomerulus, efferent arteriole, vasa recta, renal vein
what's in the cortex and what's in the medulla of kidney?
glomerulus + Bowman's, proximal + distal convoluted tubules; loops of Heinle + collecting duct in medula
which part(s) is/are impermeable to water?
ascending loop of Heinle - reabsorb salt (b/c otherwise, going thru dec interstitial osmolarity would pull water INTO pee)
aldosterone's role
inc Na2+ reabsorb from distal conv tub so water reabsorb too (when bp dec)
another name for ADH
vasopresin - peptide hormone (binds to cell membranes and acts via 2ndary messengers)
amino acids, glucose, vitamins reabsorbed in what part of kidney?
proximal convoluted tubule
how accomplish [pee] if fluid in nephron isotonic to filtrate?
nature of solute changes - more waste in filtrate, pull out useful ions
gluconeogenesis done by _____ and entails ____
liver; breakdown of non-carbs (like fats) to glucose if scarce in blood
purpose of estrogen vs progesterone
vascularize uterine wall vs maintain it
____ hormone surges on day ____ of menstrual cycle
LH, day 14 (stimulates ovulation --> follicle to corpus luteum + release egg)
name of hormone that stimulates anterior pituitary to release FSH and LH
GnRH (gonadotropin releasing hormone)
draw out menstrual cycle
pg. 466 of lesson book (or see laminated sheet)
what happens in menopause?
ovaries run out of ova so nothing to secrete estro + prog so those levels drop and FSH, LH levels increase
Exocrine Secretion
into glands/ducts
Endocrine Secretions
hormones directly into blood
Pancreas Exocrine vs Endocrine
exocrine digestion: amylase (starch), lipase (lipid), trypsin, chymotrypsin, peptidases (peptide); endocrine hormones: glucagon, insulin, somatostatin (dec amts of both prior)
purpose of thyroxine
increase metabolism, neg feedback inhib of TSH (from ant pit)
major hormone output of adrenal medula
epinephrine + nonepinephrine - stim sympath sys (adrenaline by hypothal? No feel pain)
epinephrine is also called ___
adrenaline
transportation of steroid vs peptide hormones
protein bound; freely dissolved (b/c have to reg in 1 place, either transport or permeability)
tropic hormones do what?
stimulate other glands (like GnRH stim ant pit to release LH and FSH)
thymosin purpose and produced where?
made in thymus, stim T-lymphocyte prod
