Digestive System

Alimentary canal components mismatch: The liver is not part of the alimentary canal. The esophagus, stomach, and small intestine are.
Alimentary canal layer with vessels and nerves: The submucosa layer contains blood vessels and nerves.
Primary saliva enzyme for carb digestion: Amylase is the primary enzyme in saliva that starts the digestion of carbohydrates.
Salivary gland producing most saliva: The parotid gland produces the most saliva.
Pancreatic hormone for blood sugar regulation: The pancreas secretes both insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar.
Primary bile producer: The liver is the primary producer of bile.

Digestive System - Small Intestine

Small intestine primary function: Absorption and digestion are the primary functions of the small intestine.

Digestive System - Fat Digestion

Main site of fat digestion: The small intestine is the main site of fat digestion.

Digestive System - Cellular Energy

Primary cell energy molecule: ATP is the primary molecule used by cells for energy.

Digestive System - Glucose Breakdown

Process for glucose energy production: Glycolysis is the process that breaks down glucose to produce energy.

Digestive System - Liver Functions

Liver's primary functions: The liver is a major site of fat storage, gluconeogenesis, and urea production.

Digestive System - Metabolism

Organelle involved in metabolism: Mitochondria are the main organelles involved in metabolism.

Urinary System - Kidney

Kidney functional unit: The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney.
Filtration site in nephron: The glomerulus is responsible for filtration in the nephron.

Urinary System - Urine Concentration

Urine concentration site: The loop of Henle is responsible for concentrating urine.

Urinary System - Urethral Sphincter

Urethral sphincter composition: The internal urethral sphincter is made of smooth muscle.

Urinary System - Urine Formation

Final urine formation process: Filtration is the final process of urine formation.
