Study Notes
Endocrine System
- Hyperglycemia is caused by a deficiency of insulin.
- The pineal gland secretes melatonin.
- The pancreas secretes insulin and glucagon, which regulate blood glucose.
- Sudden withdrawal of cortisol causes acute adrenal insufficiency.
- Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid that helps regulate salt and water balance.
- High plasma levels of glucose stimulate the release of insulin.
Digestive System
- Mechanical digestion is the chewing of food.
- The liver is the organ that detoxifies drugs, stores vitamins, and synthesizes clotting factors.
- Enamel, dentin, and cementum are related to teeth.
- Bile is the substance associated with emulsification.
- The liver produces bile.
- Gingiva refers to the gums.
- Obstruction of the common bile duct causes jaundice.
- Paralytic ileus occurs when there is a slowing or stoppage of GI motility.
Nutrition and Absorption
- Cellulose is a dietary fiber that cannot be digested by humans.
- The fundus, body, and pylorus are part of the stomach.
- The duodenum and jejunum are the sites of absorption for most end products of digestion.
- The lower oesophageal structure prevents gastric reflux.
Sensory Organs
- Microvilli are related to absorption.
- Nociceptors detect pain.
- Olfaction refers to the sense of smell.
- Gustatory sensation is related to taste buds.
- The iris is the colored part of the eye.
- The lacrimal gland secretes tears.
- An increase in intraocular pressure (IOP) causes damage to the retina and blindness.
Eye and Ear
- A cataract is a cloudy lens.
- The semicircular canals and cochlea are located in the inner ear.
- The malleus, incus, and stapes are called ossicles.
- The Eustachian tube connects the pharynx and middle ear.
- The tympanic membrane separates the outer ear from the middle ear.
- Semicircular canals are concerned with balance.
- Rods and cones are visual receptors.
