Study Notes
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.
