Where does digestion begin?
in the mouth
what does a-amylase do?
begins digesting carbs in the mouth
chewed food forms a ball called a ____
bolus
Where does the bolus travel?
down the esophagus via peristaltic action
What type of muscle performs perisaltic action?
smooth muscle
What do mucous cells do?
lubricate
What do chief cells do?
secrete pepsinogen, the precursor of pepsin-begins protein digestion
What do parietal cells do?
secrete HCL which diffuses into the lumen-lower pH of the stomach (more acidic) and raise pH of the blood (less acidic)
What do G cells do?
secrete gastrin into the interstitium-stimulates parietal cells to secrete HCL
Where does MOST digestion occur?
the small intestine
The three parts of the small intestine are the:
duodenum, jejunum, and ileum
The microvilli form a fuzzy covering called the _____ ______
brush border
What does pancreatic amylase do?
hydolyzes polysaccharides to disaccharides and trisaccharides
What does lipase do?
degrades fat, specifically triglycerides
What does bile do?
Produced in the liver and stored in the gall bladder, bile emulsifies the fat
What are the major functions of the large intestine?
water absorption and electrolyte absorption
Name the four parts of the large intestine
1. Ascending colon
2. transverse colon
3. descending colon
4. sigmoid colon
4 different types of lipoproteins:
very-low density, intermediate-density, low-density, and high-density
as the density increases in lipoproteins, what decreases?
first to decrease is amount of triglycerides, and then cholesterol and phospholipids decrease
ADHD interventions
1. Self Instruction therapy,
2. parent training,
3. contingency contracting
4. Help parents design a daily routine
5. design home environment to optimize functioning
6. teach effective study and test taking strategies
7. Individual therapy
8. Encourage activities to facilitate positive peer group activities
9. insure coordination among the various systems (reg teacher/parent conferences)

Refer for med eval, special ed services, education therapy, EEF biofeedback, parenting classes, & support groups
Follow the path of urine
kidney-->renal pelvis-->ureter-->bladder-->urethra
What are the main functions of the kidney?
to excrete wate, such as urea, maintain homeostasis of body fluid volume and solute composition, and help control plasma pH
The functional unit of the kidney is the ______
nephron
Trace the path of the kidney (hint: starts with glomerulus)
pg. 135
List the parts of the small intestine in order
duodenum, ileum, jejunum
list the parts of the large intestine in order
ascending colon, traverse colon, descending colon, sigmoid colon
chyme
semifluid mass of food in the stomach
List the four major types of cells in the stomach
1. mucous cells 2. chief (peptic) cells 3. parietal cells 4. G cells
List the major enzymes secreted by the pancreas during digestion
trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, lipase, ribonuclease, and deoxyribonuclease.
The enzymes secreted by the pancreas degrade proteins into small polypeptides
trypsin and chymotrypsin
glycogenesis
the formation of glycogen in the liver
When the blood glucose level decreases, this process returns glucose into the blood
glycogenolysis
Ammonia is converted to _______ in the liver. This new substance is then excreted in the urine by the kidney.
Urea
Distal tubule
reabsorbs Na+ and Ca+ while secreting K+, H+, and HCO-3.
Collecting duct
carries the filtrate into highly osmotic medulla in the kidney. It is impermeable to water, but sensitive to ADH.
juxtagomerular apparatus
monitors filtrate pressure in distal tubule.
Concentration of urine through kidney diagram
study p. 137
