    Study Notes

    Urinary System

    • The urinary system consists of two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and the urethra.
    • Kidneys are bean-shaped organs that filter waste from the blood to form urine.
    • Nephrons are the functional units of the kidney, filtering nitrogenous waste from the blood.
    • Reabsorption is the process of returning essential elements to the bloodstream.
    • Renin is an enzyme that regulates blood filtration rate by increasing blood pressure.
    • Urea is a waste product of nitrogen metabolism.
    • Urine is fluid excreted by the urinary system.
    • Filtration is the process of separating solids from a liquid.
    • Bowman's capsule surrounds the glomerulus and collects urine.
    • Glomerulus is a group of capillaries in a nephron.
    • Electrolytes are chemical elements carrying an electrical charge when dissolved in water.
    • A catheter is a tube for injecting or removing fluids.
    • Creatinine is a nitrogenous waste excreted in urine
    • The bladder is an organ that holds urine until excretion.
    • Potassium (K+) and Sodium (Na+) are electrolytes regulated by the kidney.

    Digestive System

    • The digestive system converts complex molecules into simpler forms for absorption.
    • The digestive canal includes the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.
    • Supplementary structures include salivary glands, liver, and pancreas.
    • Digestion begins in the mouth with teeth and saliva enzymes.
    • Chyme is a semi-solid mass of partially digested food and gastric juices.
    • Defecation is the release of feces.
    • Enzymes like amylase are secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands to digest starch.
    • Absorption occurs in the small intestine.
    • Bile, a yellowish-brown fluid secreted by the liver, aids in fat digestion.
    • Bilirubin is a pigment in bile.
    • Amino acids are the small building blocks of proteins.

    Digestive System - Combining Forms

    • Ureter(o): ureter
    • Urethr(o): urethra
    • Uria: urine
    • Vesic(o): bladder
    • Cyst(o): bladder
    • Glomerul(o): glomerulus
    • Nephro: kidney
    • Ren(o) : kidney
    • Uro, urino: urine

    Digestive System - Terms

    • Amino acids: small building blocks of proteins.
    • Amylase: an enzyme that digests starch.
    • Absorption: the passage of materials through the small intestine into the bloodstream.
    • Bile: a fluid that aids in fat digestion, produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
    • Bilirubin: a pigment in bile.

    Endocrine System

    • Function: Produce hormones that work together to maintain homeostasis.
    • Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions.
    • Exocrine glands secrete substances out of the body via ducts.
    • Major hormones include Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), Growth hormone (GH), Melanocyte-stimulating hormone(MSH), Prolactin/lactogenic hormone (PRL/LTH), Aldosterone, Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), Oxytocin, Triiodothyronine (T3), Thyroxine (T4), Parathyroid hormone (PTH).

    Integumentary System

    • The integumentary system consists of skin and accessory organs like hair, nails, and glands.
    • Function: protection, temperature regulation, and sensory reception.
    • Terms include: Dermis, Diaphoresis, Epidermis, Hair follicle, Keratin, and Melanin.

    Musculoskeletal System

    • Function: Support the body, produce blood cells, protect internal organs, store minerals.
    • Terms include: Bone, Articular Cartilage, Periosteum, Calcium/Phosphorus, Cartilage, Ligaments, Marrow, Muscle, Osteoblast.

    Nervous System

    • Function: control bodily functions and interactions with external stimuli.
    • Key structures include brain, brainstem, cerebellum, cerebrum, spinal cord, cranial nerves, and nerves.
    • Terms include: Brain, Brainstem, Cerebellum, Cerebrum, Spinal cord, Synapse, Cranial nerves.

    Combining Forms

    • Provide detailed meanings when combined with other parts of words in the medical world.
