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.
