glucagon changes the glycogen, stored in the liver, to glucose to be utilized by cells to maintain life.
Insulin allows glucose to enter the cells |

4 ducts
cheif cells produce PTH, which increases calcium ion concentration in blood. |
|
What is the importance of calcium in blood?
|
It is necessary for nerve conduction and muscle contraction. Calcium and phosphorus are necessary for bone and tooth formation.
|
|
What happens in the loop of Henle?
|
nutrients and electrolytes pass in and out between blood vessels and tubules, filtration takes place
|
|
How do loop diuretics work?
|
effects the glomerulus in the loop of henle by pushing the salt into the tubules and does not allow it back into circulation. Water follows the sodium and into the urine for a salty urine.
|
|
Explain the cycle of blood into and out of the heart.
|
Blood enters the heart via the superior or inferior vena cava, into the right atrium. From here it passes through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. It then travels thru the pulmonic valve into the pulmonary arteries, and into the lungs. Pulmonary veins return the blood to the heart into the left atrium, thru the bicuspid or mitral valve, and into the left ventricle. It is then pumped back into the body via the aortic valve and aorta into circulation.
