What makes up the GU system?
2 kidneys, 2 ureters, 1 bladder,1 urethra, 1 urinary meatus
100
What is the functional unit of the kidney called?
Nephron
100

The primary function of this part of the GI system is to breakdown food that will then enter into the esophagus:

What is the mouth

100

Warns body of danger (its a gland) and this neurotransmitter is Released when sympathetic system is activated

Adrenal Medulla

Epinephrine

100

The light bending structure in the eyeball

What is the lens? 

200
What sit atop each kidney?
The adrenal glands
200

I regulate the body's water balance. If released urine will be more concentrated as I am likely dehydrated

What is ADH or Vasopressin?

200

This organ stores bile, which helps in the digestion of fats.

What is the gall bladder

200

These glands are found in the brain

Pituitary

Hypothalamus

200

What are the 3 ossicles of the ear

What are the incus, malleus, and the stapes?

300

Three parts of this organ are the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum

What is the small intestine? 

300
Why is a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) significant clinically?
Because as we age and GFR decreases, it means we do not metabolize medications as well and we could OD or at least do damage to our body since the kidney is not working at an optimal level.
300

This muscular organ is responsible for churning food and initiating protein digestion

What is the stomach? 

300

Mention at least three glands

Hypothalamus

Pituitary

Thymus

Thyroid

Parathyroids

Adrenals

Pancreas

Ovaries and Testes

300

These structures detect dim light while these other structures detect color

Rods and Cones

400

Made of transitional cells which allows expansion. I hold urine

Bladder

400
What does Erythropoetin do?
It stimulates the bones to make more RBCs. 
400

The majority function of the organ is to absorb water and electrolytes from undigested food material

What is the large intestine? 

400

Hormones produce by the pancreas

Insulin and Glucagon

400

This is the location of where acute focusing occurs, involving only the cones

What is fovea centralis?

500
Name the parts of each nephron?
afferent arteriole, glomerulus, bowman's capsule, proximal convoluted tubule, loop of henle, distal convoluted tubule, collecting tubule.
500
List 4 functions of the GU system
Production of urine, excretion of urine/waste, aids in, elimination from bladder where it is stored maintaining acid-base balance, produce the hormone renin that regulates BP, Produce Erythropoetin
500

This organ helps filter toxins from the blood, store energy in the forms of glycogen, and produces proteins essential for blood clotting

What is the liver? 

500
Name 3 effects of aging on the GU system
decreased GFR, incontinence, glucose reabsorption decreases, kidneys shrink, kidneys cant remove as much waste, loss of muscle tone in the bladder
500

The 3 major areas/structures of the outer ear

What are the pinna/auricle, external auditory canal, and the tympanic membrane
