Lines the conducting portion of the respiratory tract. Is made up of: ciliated columnar epithelium which contains many mucosal cells and an underlying areolar layer.
What is the respiratory mucosa ?
100
A layer of dense irregular tissue that connects the mucosa to the muscularis externa.
What is the submucosa ?
100
Site of exit of the ureter & vein from the kidney & the entrance site of the renal artery & nerve.
What is the hilum ?
100
A GI hormone which stimulates production of acids and enzymes, & increases morality.
What is gastrin?
100
They are three hormones that increase blood pressure.
What is the function of ADH, aldosterone, & the renin-angiotensin system?
200
Prevents the entry of liquids & solid food into the respiratory tract.
What is the epiglottis ?
200
A tube that passes through the diaphragm & is lined with stratified squamous epithelium.
What is the esophagus ?
200
Temporarily stores urine prior to elimination.
What is the bladder ?
200
Reabsorption of ions, organic molecules, vitamins, and water occurs here.
What is the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) ?
200
A state of balance when the production of hydrogen ions is equal to their loss.
What is the acid-base balance ?
300
Connect the alveoli & terminal bronchiole. (Found between the two).
What is the respiratory bronchiole ?
300
Contains a network of capillaries that transport respiratory gases & carries absorbed nutrients to the hepatic portal circulation for delivery to the liver.
What is a villus ?
300
Located on either side of the vertebral column between the last thoracic & third lumbar vertebrae.
What are the kidneys ?
300
Stimulates the release of insulin by the pancreatic islets & inhibits gastric secretion & motility.
What is the gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) ?
300
This hormone triggers the formation of angiotensin I which is then activated to angiotensin II by the angiotensin converting enzyme.
What is renin ?
400
The chamber shared by the digestive & respiratory system.
What is the pharynx ?
400
Structure that joins the large & small intestine.
What is the ileocecal valve ?
400
Blood enters the nephron through this structure.
What is the afferent arteriole ?
400
Indicator of how easily lungs can expand. (One word)
What is compliance ?
400
A type of nervous stimulation that leads to broncho-constriction.
What is parasympathetic stimulation ?
500
Contains the cardiac notch & has two lobes.
What is the left lung ?
500
Contains a network of capillaries that transport respiratory gases & carries absorbed nutrients to the hepatic portal circulation for delivery to the liver.
What is a villus ?
500
A protein-free solution produced in the renal corpuscle.
What is filtrate ?
500
Produce surfactant onto alveolar surfaces.
