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.

Glycolysis?
|
|
What are the products of glycolysis?
