How does system communicate w/ each other?
Capillaries

note: leaky; made up of simple squamous = allows movement in and out
Adipose tissue makes a hormone called _____
leptin
what does leptin do?
stimulates certain hormone resulting in a decrease in apetite
mice not producing leptin are _____
obese
give the process of decreases and increase in apetite
Adipose--->high level of leptin--->goes to the brain----> decrease appetite and incr. muscle activity

wheres low leptin--> incr. appetite--> result in weight gain
[DIGESTION SYSTEM] give the process of digestion
ingestion-- take in food
digestion-- hydrolysis
absorption-- take in nutrients etc.
elimination
what is Alimentary Canal?
complete digestive tract
what are sphincters?
ringlike valves that close off and regulate passage of material b/w chambers of the canal
[Mammalian Digestive system] named the three important part of the digestive system
mouth--->stomach--->intestine
process of digestion: start w/ food in the mouth to the stomach
food--->MOUTH--->salivary gland break down food to the PHARYNX--->ESOPHAGUS-->BOLUS-BALL OF FOOD--->SPHINCTERS (separate esophagus from stomach)---> STOMACH
salivary gland have an enzyme called _____
amylase---> breaks down sugar

**polysaccharides---> di- and monosaccharides
Salivary glands also contain mucin. What is the purpose of mucin?
provide buffering and lubrication
process of digestion: starting from stomach to small intestine
food bolus---> stomach (low pH) ---> enzymes called pesin break down food and bring down HCl-----> end up w/ acid chyme---> sphincter (posterior stomach) ---> small intestine
[the digestion process of stomach to acid chyme] What is the precursor to the enzyme pepsin?
pepsinogen (inactive form)
what secretes Pepsinogen?
Chief cells
what secrete HCl?
parietal cells
What makes the conversion of pepsinogen (inactive) ---> pesin (active?
HCl ---> its the acid that changes the structure of pesinogen to pesin

**pesin also gives positive feedback and recognizes pepsinogen as a substrate
the chief cells and parietal cells are the _____
inner lining of the stomach
digestion process: from small intestine to elimination
acid chyme--> small intestine (duodenum) various enzymes secreted into here---> Jejunum (absorption)---> ileum (absorption)---> large intestine (colon--absorb water)---> elimination
in the small intestine various enzymes is scecreted into lumen of duodenum: where are these enzymes secreted from? and what do they secrete?
Pancreas---> various enzymes: protease, trysin, also produce sodium biocarbonate (NaHCO3)

*Liver (bile production)---> gall bladder (stores bile)---> produces bile
Overall we have how many sphincters?
3
[hormones in digestion] food bolus interacts w/ the stomach lining (epithelium) and some cells produced hormone called ______
gastrin
gastrin binds to nearby cell and make it produces
gastric juice

**provides an environment for all digestion to happen
Acidic chyme plays a similar role--> causes the duodenum cells to produce hormone called ____
secretin
Cholecystokinin (CCK)
secretin binds to receptor in the _____
pancreas
pancreas cells secretes ____
**NaHCO3- (sodium carbonate)
CCK produces from the duodenum also binds to receptor in the pancreas and the pancreas secretes ____
all other enzymes
CCK also binds to receptors in the _____ and stimulate the secretion of ____
gall bladder
secrete bile
[Absorption in the Jejunum and ileum] absorption takes place at these structure called ____
villi
within villi the jejunum and ileum have _____ epithelial cells
columnar
____ increases surface area for digestion
microvilli
how do the the doudenum and ileum brings in nutrients?
nutritients---> epithelial---> capillaries--> system
villi connections to the circulatory system is through _____ and connection to the lymphatic system is ____
capillaries
lacteal
[structure of the small intestine] large fold of ____ line the small intestine.
epithelium
Villi projects outward, into the lumen. Each villi has a small lymphatic vessel called the _____ and a network of _____ .
lacteal
network of blood capillaries
Nutrients are absorbed by the microvilli across the intestinal epithelium and then accross the wall of the capillaries or lacteals. Fats are taken by the _____
lacteal
lacteals distributed the fat via the ____
lymphatic system to veins near the heart (circulatory system)
[heart] Atria
receive blood returning to heart
ventricles
chambers that pump blood out of heart
arteries
carry blood away from heart
arterioles
smaller vessels that bring blood to capillaries
cappillaries
microscopic vessels w/ thin porous walls involved in nutrient and gas exchange
venules
capillaries converge into venules
veins
blood return to heart
[Heart Conduction System] in the heart there are cluster of cells that are ______
autoryhythmic cells

**contracts and relax w/o nerve input
Give two nodes that control autorhythimc cell.
sinoatrial node (SAN)
atrioventricular node (AVN
SAN
**the pacemaker of the heart
**set the rate and timing of the contraction
**generates electrical iimpulses that are carried to AVN
**incr. body temperature
*respond to external stimulli
Antrioventricular node (AVN)
**electrical impulses is relayed down
***delays the impulse by appx. 0.1 sec---> allowing the atria to empty b/f the ventricle fills up w/ blood
[blood vessel structure]
describes how nutrients/molecule is transport in and out of the capillaries to the tissue?
molecules ---> out of the capillaries to the interstitial fluid---> to tissue

**interstitial fluid is important
**equalibrium rxn
what is the different structure b/w arteries, veinules, vein, and capillaries?
**capillaries
-Endothelium = squamous cells (simple single layer of cell)

**arteries, veinules, vein
-endothelium, connective tissue, and smooth muscle
-thicker walls provide strength and flexibility
[other circulatory also takes place] lymphatic System
**recycle water
**transport fat to the circulatory system (from the lacteal)
**protect against infections
**Composition is very similar to interstitial fluid
[BLOOD COMPOSITION: cells of the blood]

Erythrocytes
-transport oxygen and CO2
-lack nuclei and mitochondria (dead end cells)
-carry protein called hemoglobin

**sickle cell anemia (disease)
-RBC is less flexible-- clog up in capillaries--> inefficient O2 exchange
Leukocytes
*WBC, fights infection
Name the 6 different types of leukocytes
1. monocytes
2. neutrophils
3. Basophils
4. Eosinophils
5. Lymphocytes
6. plateletes
phagocytic = engulf bacteria and cell debris
Monocytes and neutrophils
Basophils
inhibits blood clotting and speeds removal of fat by releasing heparin, release histamine
eosinophils
attack parasites
lymphocytes
part of the immune system (become B cells and Tcells)
this involve in blood clotting
platelets

*pinch off cytoplasm w/ a plasma membrane
*come from bone marrow
**no nuclei can't reprod.
[recalled:] bone marrow stem cells are _____
multipotent stem cells

myeloid stem cells differentiate to
*RBC
*monocytes, neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, lyphocytes, platelets
what is LEUKEMIA
cancer cells
**is a cancer of the blood or bone marrow and is characterized by an abnormal proliferation (production by multiplication) of blood cells (esp. WBC)

**there are acute leukemia and chronic leukemia
acute leukemia
happens in kid and young adult

**happens through an increase in immature cells = cells that don't make through the differentiation process
Chronic leukemia
matures cells that are defective
e.g making a whole bunch of B-cells that don't work well
Leukemia is subdivided into 4 categories: they are
cell type: Lymphocytic leukemia
1. acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL)
2. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)

cell type: Myelogenous leukemia
3. Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)
4. Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)
Hormonal rgulation of RBC:
decrease in tissue oxygen---> stimulate hormone called Epythropoitin (EPO)---> stimulates differientiate of bone marrow stem cells--> increase RBC---> transport more oxygen (O2 = neg. feedback) on Epyhtropoieth
Epythroipoietin is made in the
kidney
[BLOOD CLOTTING] the process
injury-->form a platelets plug (protection for blood loss)---> clotting factors release protease (factor VIII)---> convert Prothrombin (inactive) to thrombin (active)---> throbin (enzyme) converts fibrogen (substrate) to fibrin---> goes to platelets plug and corm the fibrin clot
