the nitrogenous waste product of humans

from the heart to the lungs

the pulmonary circuit specifically circulates blood where?

ovulation

the release of an egg from an ovary

a bacterial infection

what causes a stomach ulcer?

liver cells

what cells respond to glucagon by breaking down glycogen and releasing glucose?

lymphocytes; there are two types: B cells and T cells; both are involved primarily in the adaptive immune system rather than the innate defense system

what is NOT part of your innate immune system?

what is the main role of red blood cells?

absorb water

what is the main role of the large intestine?

produce bile

what is the main role of the liver?

initiates the contraction of the heart

what is the primary function of the sinoatrial node?

produce and store large number of white blood cells

what is the primary role of the lymphatic system?

detoxifying dangers chemicals in the blood stream

what is the purpose of dialysis treatments?

helps protect the body from the external environment

what is the role of the epithelium

to absorb small nutrient molecules from the digestive tract

what is the role of the villi?

peristaltic muscle contraction

what moves the food from your mouth to your stomach when you swallow?

connective

what type of animal tissue contains blood, cartilage, and bone?

the pancreas releases insulin

when blood glucose levels are high,

the pancreas releases glucagon, which eventually causes blood glucose to increase

when blood glucose levels are low,

small intestine; food nutrients are primarily absorbed by cells that line the extensive folds in the small intestine

where does most of the absorption of food nutrients take place?

oviduct

where fertilization of the egg occurs

cervix

where in the mother's body does a developing embryo implant

pancreas

which accessory organ's secretions neutralizes stomach acid before it reaches the intestines?

hemoglobin

within each red blood cell, this molecule is a protein that binds oxygen

anatomy; physiology

_____ is the study of the structure of parts; _____ is the study of how these parts work

taking in glucose and converting it to glycogen

a liver cells responds to insulin by,

learning and coordinating motor movements

a person who has a stroke that damages the cerebrum might have trouble with what?

a protein that can bind four molecules of oxygen

it returns to the heart, and then is pumped to the body

after blood becomes oxygenated

red blood cells

also called erythrocytes, are packed with hemoglobin and transport oxygen to body tissues

also called leukocytes; function in fighting infections

cannot make by itself

hormones

chemicals transported in the blood and they affects only targeted cells throughout the body
