Flashcards

Urinary System Function

Removes waste and excess fluid, maintains homeostasis, regulates acid-base balance, electrolyte concentrations, extracellular fluid volume, and blood pressure.

Kidney Problems Causes

Congenital abnormalities, diabetes, and high blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to kidney problems.

Digestive Tract Start

The mouth is the beginning of the digestive system.

Stomach Function

The stomach is a muscular organ that holds and mixes food.

Study Notes

Urinary System Functions

  • Removes waste products and excess fluid
  • Maintains homeostasis
  • Regulates acid-base balance
  • Controls electrolyte concentrations
  • Regulates extracellular fluid volume
  • Regulates blood pressure

Urinary System Parts

  • Kidneys
  • Ureters
  • Bladder
  • Urethra

Kidney Problems/Diseases

  • Congenital abnormalities
  • Diabetes (high blood sugar)
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

Digestive System Parts and Functions

  • Mouth: Beginning of digestive tract
  • Throat (Pharynx): Where food travels
  • Esophagus: Delivers food to the stomach
  • Stomach: Sac-like organ with strong muscular walls, mixes food
  • Small Intestines:
    • Made of three segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum)
    • 20 feet long
    • Peristalsis moves food through the intestines
    • Duodenum: breaks down food
    • Jejunum and Ileum: absorb nutrients
  • Large Intestines (Colon):
    • Divided into four parts (ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid)
    • 7 feet long

Accessory Muscles of Respiration

  • Intercostal Muscles:
    • External: primary inspiratory muscles
    • Internal: accessory expiratory muscles
  • Abdominal Muscles: Accessory expiratory muscles

Types of Bones

  • Long Bones: Support body weight, facilitate movement, located in lower limbs
  • Short Bones: Provide support and stability, located in wrist and ankle joints
  • Flat Bones: Flat bones in the skull, thoracic cage (sternum and ribs), protect internal organs (brain, heart)
  • Irregular Bones: Complex shapes, varying structure, protect internal organs (vertebral column protects spinal cord)

Respiratory System

  • Respiratory System: Network of organs and tissues for breathing
  • Components: Airways, lungs, blood vessels
  • Function: Moves oxygen, eliminates waste products

Nervous System

  • Differentiates between sensory and motor nerves
  • Sensory Nerves: Carry signals from sensory organs to the brain
  • Motor Nerves: Carry signals from the brain to muscles and glands
