Digestive
Initial site of mechanical digestion prior to entering the thoracic cavity
Mouth
Largest bone in the human body
Femur
Functional unit of the kidney
Nephron
Carry deoxygenated blood towards the heart; contain valves
Veins
Includes the brain and spinal cord
CNS/ Central Nervous System
Organ responsible for the neutralization of stomach acid when chyme enters the duodenum of the small intetsine
Pancreas
Site of muscle attachment; bone does NOT move
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is caused by bacteria entering this tube where urine is excreted
Urethra
Blood vessels with muscular walls; Higher blood pressure
Arteries
Responsible for relaying electrical signals from the body to the spinal cord
PNS/ Peripheral nervous system
Structure between ventral and dorsal surfaces of liver; produces bile
Gall bladder
Site of muscle attachment; bone DOES move
Attachment Site
A cell in this environment bursts because excess water from the external environment fills the cell
Hypotonic solution
These structures within the lungs are damaged by smoking and long-term infections like COPD, bronchitis, and pneumonia
Alveoli
A patient presenting dizziness, loss of coordination, and poor hand-eye coordination may have issues with this type of bodily receptor
Proprioceptors
Stomach acid classification; pH 1-2
Hydrochloric acid (HCl)
During puberty, these cells are especially active as they break down pre-adolescent bone to allow for growth and restructuring
Osteoclasts
Three main processes of the human kidney
Filtration, reabsorption, and secretion
Plaque build up or a blood clots in these blood vessels are responsible for heart attacks
Coronary arteries
Sense pain
Nocireceptors
Foldings in the walls of the small intestine to increase surface area for nutrient absorption
Villi
Cartilage
Prior to being stored in the bladder for excretion, urine passes through these structures.
Ureter
These chambers are located superiorly on the heart
Atria/Atrium
A spinal break in this region can result in permanent paralysis (quadriplegia)
Neck / Superior spine / Cervical spine
