EndocrineStructure and Function
These substances affect target cells that have appropriate receptors.
What are hormones!
This connects the upper and lower airways.
What is the trachea?
This structure drains urine from the major calyx in the kidney to the bladder.
What is a ureter?
These cellular components propel mucous and entrapped particles toward the oropharynx where they are expectorated.
What are cilia?
This a condition where fluid backs up in to the lungs because of left sided heart failure.
What is pulmonary edema?
A thyroid hormone chain reaction is regulated so that when the levels of T3 and T4 increase, they prevent the release of TRH (and thus TSH). When T3 and T4 levels drop, the feedback loop starts again. This system allows your body to maintain a constant level of thyroid hormones in your body.
What is a feedback loop?
Respiratory bronchioles, Alveolar ducts, Alveoli.
What are gas exchange airways?:
This structure within the kidney is responsible for regulating the re uptake and excretion of water and electrolytes.
What is the Loop of Henle?
Respiratory bronchioles, Alveolar ducts, Alveoli.
What are gas exchange airways?
This system is responsible for regulating our fluid and electrolyte balance.
What is the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RASS)?
This type of hormone cannot diffuse across a plasma membrane and must bind to a surface receptor to initiate 1st and 2nd messengers.
What are water soluble hormones?
This lung has three lobes.
What is the right lung?
A substance that is supersaturated and precipitates out in the form of crystals or stones causing an extremely painful alteration in urine elimination.
What is cholesterol?
This cell resides in the alveoli and ingest and remove bacteria, pathogens, and cellular debris by phagocytosis and by releasing inflammatory cytokines.
What is an alveolar macrophage?
This is an alteration that occurs in the posterior pituitary and causes increased secretion of ADH, resulting in fluid volume overload and hyponatremia.
What is SIADH?
Epinephrine and norepinephrine are released by this gland.
What is the adrenal gland?
These two body systems help to regulate our acid/base balance.
What are the lungs and the kidneys?
The glomerular apparatus resides in this structure within the kidney.
What is the renal pyramid?
This condition is caused by impaired movement of o2 from the lungs to the bloodstream.
What is hypoxemia?
This gas is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. It also has small amounts of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.
What is Air?
The Master Gland.
What is the pituitary gland?
This vessel brings blood to pulmonary capillaries that surround alveoli.
What is the Pulmonary Artery?
If a person has heart failure and has decreased cardiac output, it can result in this type of kidney failure.
What is pre-renal kidney failure?
This is the priority treatment for a patient who is experiencing dyspnea.
What is oxygen?
This serum lab measures, pH, Co2, HCO3 (bicarb), and Po2.
What is an arterial blood gas?
