Functions of the large intestine

• Concentrates, mixes, and stores waste material • Attaches to rectum • Nervous system triggers muscles to poop • Speed for waste removal is influenced by volume of fiber and undigested material present

Compact bone

• Consists of tightly packed cells • Strong, dense, and rigid • Haversian canals runs vertically through compact bone. They're surrounded by lamellae (concentric circles on bone tissue) - the spaces between are called lacunae

Spongy (Cancellous) Bone:

• Consists of trabeculae • Lightweight and porous which helps reduce the bone's overall weight • Red blood marrow manufactures red and white blood cells • In long bones, the diaphysis consists of compact bone surrounding the marrow cavity and spongy bone containing red marrow in the epiphyses.

Somatic Nervous System

• Controls 5 senses and voluntary movement of skeletal muscle • Efferent - motor reactions • Afferent - sensory (senses) Together afferent and efferent help operate sense and movement of skeletal muscle

• Coronary circulation • Pulmonary circulation • Systemic circulation

Name the 5 ligaments the liver is secured by:

• Falciform - forms a membrane-like barrier between the right and left lobes • Coronary • Right triangular • Left triangular • Round ligaments

Functions of the respiratory system

• Filters air • Vital in cough production • Functions in sense of smell • Chemoreceptors that is located in the nasal cavity respond to airborne chemicals. • The respiratory system also helps the body maintain acid-base homeostasis • Hyperventilation can increase blood pH during acidosis (low pH) • Slowing breathing during alkalosis (high pH) helps to lower blood pH

Ligaments that support the spleen:

• Gastrolienal ligament • Lienorenal ligament • Phrenicocolic ligament (middle secretion)

What are the parts of the cell membranes? (8)

• Glycoprotein • Glycolipid • Peripheral membrane protein • Phospholipid bilayer • Protein channel • Cholesterol • Filaments of cytoskeleton • Integral membrane protein

Functions of spinal cord

• It's nervous tissue give limb movement and internal organ activity • Nerve tracts descend and ascend from spinal cord to brain

Monocytes - macrophages and dendrite cells

• Largest phagocytes = macrophages in lymphocyte tissue - which engulf and destroy pathogen • Dendritic cells present antigen to T cells

About the Pancreas:

• Located behind stomach • Right side is called the head • Left side is called the tail • Head lies near duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) and the tail ends near the spleen • Made up of exocrine and endocrine tissues

Lymphoid organs include:

• Lymph nodes • Spleen • Appendix • Adenoids • Thymus • Tonsils • Small patches of tissue in the small intestine

Autonomic Nervous System

• Maintains homeostasis within body • Controls functions of internal organs, blood vessels, smooth muscle tissues, and glands

What are the main functions of the stomach?

• Mixing and storing food • Dissolving and degrading food via secretions • Controlling passage of food into the small intestine

Functions of the small intestine

• Most nutrients are absorbed by the small intestine • Enzymes from pancreas, liver, and stomach help with digestion • Bile (stored in gallbladder) breaks down fats • Liming of small intestine covered with villi • Chime - semi-liquid mass of partially digested food

Functions of the Skeletal System

• Movement - action of skeletal muscles on bones moves the body • Mineral storage - bones serve as storage facilities for essential mineral ions • Support - bones act as a framework and support system for the organs • Protection - bones surround and protect key organs in the body • Blood cell protection - red blood cells are produced in the marrow of certain bones

Granulocytes

• Neutrophils - short-lived phagocytes that respond quickly to invaders • Basophils - alert body of invasion • Eosinophils - large, non-living that defend against multicellular invaders

The upper respiratory system includes?

• Nose • Nasal cavity • Mouth • Pharynx • Larynx

The airway includes

• Nose • Nasal cavity • Mouth • Pharynx (throat) • Larynx (voice box) • Trachea (windpipe) • Bronchi • Bronchial network

Prophase (Continued)

• Pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of the cell • Spindle fibers begin to form • Mitotic spindle, formed from cytoskeleton parts, moves chromosomes around within the cell

Functions of Male Reproductive System

• Produce • Maintain • Transfer sperm and semen into female reproductive tract and produce and secrete male hormones

Functions of the female reproductive system

• Produce ova • Transfer ova to fallopian tubes for fertilization • Receive sperm • Provide protect and nourishing environment for developing embryo

What are the 10 responsibilities of the liver?

• Production of bile • Production of certain blood plasma proteins • Production of cholesterol • Storage of excess glucose in the form of glycogen (that can be converted back to glucose when needed) • Regulation of amino acids • Processing of hemoglobin (to store iron) • Conversion of ammonia • Purification of blood (clears out drugs and other toxins) • Regulation of blood clotting • Controlling infections by boosting immune factors and removing bacteria

Functions of Integumentary System

• Protection - against bacteria, viruses, chemicals from entering the body • Secretion - sebum (oil) that waterproofs the skin and sweat for thermoregulation. Sweat glands also serve as excretory organs and help rid the body of metabolic wastes • Communication - sensory receptors inform brain regarding pain, touch, pressure, and temperature • Manufactures Vitamin D and absorbs certain chemicals and specific medications

Plasma contains

• Proteins • Ions • Glucose • Amino acids • Hormones • Dissolved gas

Integumentary System

• Refers to skin • Includes sebaceous glands, sweat glands, hair, and nails

Long bones

• Relatively long and slender • Examples: various bones of the limbs • Femur (long bone of the thigh) is the largest and heaviest bone in the body

Name the 3 layers of the kidneys

• Renal cortex • Renal medulla • Renal pelvis

The major functions of the lymph vascular system are:

• Return of excess fluid to the blood • Return of protein from the capillaries • Transport of fats from the digestive tract • Disposal of debris and cellular waste

About the Nervous System:

• Senses, interprets, and issues commands as a response to conditions in the body's environment • Process is possible by complex communication system organized as grid of neurons • Messages are sent across the plasma membrane of neurons through a process called action potential

The body's general immune defenses include:

• Skin • Ciliated Mucous Membranes • Glandular Secretions • Gastric Secretions • Normal Bacterial Populations

Short bones

• Small and boxy • Examples: bones of the wrist (carpals) and ankles (tarsals)

Flat bones

• Thin, roughly parallel surfaces • Examples: cranial bones, sternum, ribs, scapulae • Protect underlying soft tissues • Provide surface area for skeletal muscle attachment

The lower respiratory system includes?

• Trachea • Lungs • Bronchial tree

The heart:

• a muscular pump made of cardiac muscle tissue • It has four chambers; each half contains both an atrium and a ventricle • The halves are separated by a valve, known as AV valve and are located between the ventricle and the artery leading away from the heart. • Valves keep blood moving in a single direction and prevent any backwash into the chambers • The heart has its own circulatory system with its own coronary arteries • The heart functions by contracting and relaxing

Irregular bones

• formed between cranial bones • Number, size, and shape vary

Leukocytes can be classified as

• monocytes (macrophages and dendritic cells) • granulocytes (neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils) • T lymphocytes • B-lymphocytes • natural killer cells
