Quiz 10

Front 1

What's the function of the digestive system?

Back 1

to alter the chemical and physical composition of food so that it can be absorbed and utilized by the body cells

Front 2

Lymph Ducts - Thoracic

Back 2

Principle lymph duct of all areas except right side of head, neck and thorax and largest lymphatic vessel in the body

Front 3

Lymph Ducts - Right Lymphatic Duct

Back 3

Short duct, recieves lymph from the right side of the head, right upper extremity and right side of thorax

Front 4

How is Lymph moved?

Back 4

* Contraction of skeletal muscles and smooth muscles in the digestive tract
* Respiratory movement

Front 5

Function of the Lymphatic System

Back 5

return the fluid filtered out of the blood capillaries to the bloodstream

Front 6

Metobolic Rate

Back 6

the amount of head produced by the body in a given time and under certain circumstances

Front 7

Metabolism
*Catabolism
*Anabolism

Back 7

Catabolism: burning of absorbed foods to supply heat and chemical energy
Anabolism: use of food building body tissues, cell growth, repair and reproduction (depenedent on catabolism)

Front 8

2 types of Digestion

Back 8

Mechanical: actioin of teeth movements of the msucular walls or various portions of the alimentary canal
Chemical: Changes induced by enzymes produced by digestive glands

Front 9

Where does the major part of absorption of nutrients occur?

Back 9

Small Intestines

Front 10

5 important functions of the liver

Back 10

1) formation of blood constituents such as plasma proteins necessary for blood clotting
2) metabolism of carbs, fats, proteins, vitamins, and hormones
3) detoxification of harmful substances
4) Primary source of body head due to the chemical reactions occuring within cells
5) acts as a reservoir for blood

Front 11

Intestinal Vili

Back 11

In the small Intestines, finger like projetions that assist with digestion

Front 12

Organs of the Alimentary Canal

Back 12

Mouth-accessory digestive organs and taste sensation
Pharynx-passageways for food and air
Esophagus-connects from the thorat (pharynx) to the stomach
Stomach-there are specific glands in each section of the stomach that produce various gatric juices necessary for digestion of food
Small Intestine-The first twenty feet or so of the intestinal tract, where digestion of food and absorption of nutrients
Large Intestine-also called the colon; absorbs water from stool and changes it from a liquid to a solid form

Front 13

Where does the digestive process begin?

Back 13

The brain - salivary glands secretion is under the nervous control, occurring reflex when mechanical, chemical, or thermal stimuli act on sensory receptors int he mouth and other digestive organs

Front 14

Lymphoma

Back 14

A cancer of the lymph nodes

Front 15

Thymus Gland

Back 15

A lymphoid organ situated towards the front of the chest area, the thymus produces T-cells for the immune response

Front 16

Spleen

Back 16

An abdominal organ that produces cells involved in immune response

Front 17

Tonsils

Back 17

The infection-fighting lymph tissue located on either side of the back of the mouth

Front 18

Lymph Nodules

Back 18

small bundles of lymphatic tissue that remove cell waste and fight infections in the body

Front 19

Adenitis

Back 19

inflammation of a gland or lymph node
