pulmonary
the valve from the right atrium to the right ventricle is called:
tricuspid valve
Which valves of the heart are open at the same time?
When the tricuspid and bicuspid are open, the aortic and pulmonic are closed, and vice versa.

How is the drainage of blood from the small intestine different than other veins? Why?
All veins go to the heart via the inferior or superior vena cava, except for veins exiting the small intestines. They drain into the hepatic portal vein, then to a second set of capillary beds into the liver.

This is where monosaccharides are converted into glycogen in the liver.
What is the name of the pancreatic duct?
duct of Wirsung
Name the area between the epiphysis and diaphysis.
metaphysis
What is included in the appendicular skeletal system?
Upper extremities
shoulders, scapulae, clavicles, humeri, radii, ulnae, carpals(8), metacarpals(5), and phalanges(14)
Lower extremities
hips, femur, patella, tibia,fibula, tarsals(7), metatarsals(5), and phalanges(14)

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.
Nerve impulses for the electrical stimulation of the heart are transmitted by the
medulla oblongata

cerebellum, coordination of muscle movement
What makes up the brain stem?
medulla oblongata, midbrain, and pons
What is the function of the medulla?
regulates the respiratory system and circulatory system
What is the function of the pons?
relays messages from the cerbrum to the cerebellum and contains the body's sleep center, breathing
What is the function of the midbrain?
audio and visual pathways

S ensory=dorsal
A fferent=dorsal
