What does Angiotensin II do to your blood vessels?
Vasoconstriction
What does Angiotensin II do with ADH?
Increases release of ADH -> leads to more water retention in the kidneys -> increased blood volume -> increased blood pressure.
What does angiotensin II do to the adrenal cortex?
Releases aldosterone, which increases salt and water retention in kidneys, which increases blood volume, which increases Blood pressure.
What is Primary Aldosteronism? (Conns Syndrome)
Hypersecretion of Aldosterone - leads to hypertension, usually caused by a tumor in the adrenal cortex
What does aldosterone do?
causes Na reabsorption, and K secretion out into the urine.
What are the two short term regulation centers of the nervous system?
Cardioinhibitory and Vasomotor, both part of the medulla.
What does the Cardioinhibitory center do?
inhibits your heart. Stimulates vasodilation. Lowers BP
What does the Vasomotor do?
Raises BP via sympathetic nervous system.
If there is a decrease in Carbon Dioxide, which regulatory center will be stimulated?
Cardioinhibitory
Anaphylactic shock is a result of...
allergic rxn. Causes secretion of histamine which leads to a rapid drop in BP.
What are the two types of hypertension, and which is more common?
Essential or Primary (more common)
Secondary
What are some defining characteristics of Primary hypertension?
They don't know the cause of it.
about 90% of all hypertensive patients are Primary type.
What are some of the definable causes of Secondary Hypertension?
Renal Artery disease, excessive catecholamines, which cause increased cardiac output.
What begins to be digested in the mouth? What digests it?
Carbohydrates begin to be digested by amylase.
Saliva has an antibacterial thingy called...
lysozyme
Which glad makes the most saliva?
The submandibular
Whats the difference between heartburn and achlasia?
Heartburn is caused by the esophageal sphincter being too relaxed, allowing stuff to come back up. Achlasia is the opposite. Too tight, so food cant go down easily.
In the stomach, mucus cells secrete
Mucus, dummy. It protects the stomach lining from acid.
Zymogenic cells secrete...
pepsinogen, which is converted to pepsin by HCl.
Where does the HCl in the stomach come from?
the parietal cells
What are two possible causes of stomach ulcers?
Not enough mucus to protect,
too much HCl or pepsin.
What is the name of the bacteria associated with ulcers?
Heliobacter pylori
Which bodily fluid is basic?
Pancreatic Juice (7.5-9)
What is digested in the small intestine
Pretty much everything that is absorbed there.
Whats absorbed in the stomach?
a little water, alcohol, and drugs like aspirin.
What are the enzymes in the small intestines and what do they digest?
Peptidase - proteins
Carbohydrase - carbohydrates
Lipase - Fats or lipids
What is the livers main digestive function?
It produces bile.
Where is bile stored?
In the gallbladder. The Gallbladder does not make bile.
What does bile do?
Emulsifies fats (breaks them down enough so that enzymes can come in and digest them)
What does your liver do with glucose?
Stores it by turning it into glycogen.
What is cirrhosis?
When the epithelial cells of the liver are converted into connective tissue so they cant really function.
What is hepatitis?
Inflammation of the liver
What makes up the bulk of a gallstone?
Cholesterol and billirubin
What three things causes gallstones?
1) Stasis of Bile
2) High levels of cholesterol in blood
3) inflammation of the gallbladder
What are the three peptidases found in your pancreatic juice?
Trypsin
Chymotrypsin
Carboxypeptidase
Which cells give the release of gastrin?
G-cells
Which cells give the release of secretin?
S-cells
What does secretin do?
releases the pancreatic juice
What else (besides secretin) stimulates the release of pancreatic juice?
the presence of CCK in the small intestines
How do you get glucose from the blood to the cell?
Insulin
What is glycogenesis?
The storage of glucose, being converted into glycogen.
What is the breakdown of glycogen?
glycogenolysis
How do you send glucose back into the blood?
glucagon
What is breaking down glucose into energy?
Glycolysis?
What are the products of glycolysis?
2 ATP, 2 pyruvate
Glycolysis and Kerbs Cycle: Which is anaerobic, and which is aerobic?
Glycolysis is anaerobic
Kerbs is aerobic
How many ATP can you produce with one molecule of glucose with glycolysis, krebs, and electron transport chain?
36
What two hormones stimulate glycogenolysis?
Epinepherine and glucagon
Going from lungs to the blood
external respiration
Internal Respiration is
gas exchange between blood and the cells
Cellular respiration is
cells use O2 for metabolism
Two types of alveolar cells
Type 1: forms the cell wall of the alveoli
Type 2: produces a surfactant that decreases surface tension
inspiration is caused by
diaphragm contract and external intercostal muscles contract
hypoxia=
lack of oxygen
normal respiration rate
12-15 breathes per minute
