Human body care exam guide. - The accessories of the gastrointestinal tract are: **Salivary glands, Liver (It forms and secretes bile that is stored in the gallbladder.), Gallbladder and Pancreas** - **Mixing and peristalsis**: Are Types of movements of the gastric system - The pyloric sphincter: **Regulate the flow of chyme from the stomach to the small intestine.** - **Large intestine:** Is where water, ions, and vitamins are absorbed - **Spermicides:** make the vagina and cervix unfavorable for the survival of sperm. - **LDL and HDL:** are lipoproteins that transport cholesterol in the blood. - **Inspiration**: Is the respiration process where the thoracic cage increases in size due to the contraction of the diaphragm, intercostal muscles and neck muscles, causing the lungs to increase in size and generate negative pressure, this being the one that pulls the air into the alveoli*.* - **Nose (nasal cavities):** Their main function is to increase the surface area for moistening and warming air during inhalation and the first filtration of air by the cilia action, and for trapping water droplets during exhalation. - **Larynx:** Are the vocal cords where the voice sounds of made of mucosal folds supported by elastic ligaments, and the split between the vocal cords is an opening called the glottis" - ***Systole and diástole:** Refers to c*ontraction and relaxation of the heart muscle - **Leucocytes**: are blood cells that have an immune reaction against bacteria or virus - **nerve impulse:** Is the process to convey information along the neuron. \- Dopamine: It is an important neurotransmitter that **produces motivation and feelings of pleasure.** -Stimulants: are psychoactive substances that increase CNS activity, **amphetamines and caffeine** are stimulants.[ ] -Pills: prevent the development of the follicle, so **the ovulation does not occur ** -The parasympathetic division of the autonomic system doing its function for example **after eating, while you are digesting.** \- The sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system responds, for example **while being alone and hearing a loud sound.** **- Physical dependence:** is when the substance is required to keep "abnormal" homeostasis, **-Psychological dependence:** is the desire for the effects of consuming the substance. \- **IUD** (intrauterine device): Is one of the most effective contraceptive methods, it is inserted into the uterus by a physician. -Pepsin: is an enzyme present in gastric juice and digests **[proteins.]** -Pancreatic amylase: is an enzyme that **digests starches** **-Chlamydia and gonorrhea** are two examples of STD caused by bacteria. \- Capillaries: Are one of the three types of blood vessels and their function is **to exchange substances between the blood and the tissues.** **-Arteries:** Are one of the three types of blood vessels and their function it carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs of the body **-Thermoregulation:** Occurs when the body produces sweat during exercise. -The two phases of respiration are: **External respiration**: It is the exchange of gases between the alveoli and the blood in the pulmonary capillaries. **Internal respiration:** It refers to the process by which oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the tissues and cells of the body. -Thyroid gland: Their main function is to **regulate metabolism.** \- **Polyunsaturated oils:** are considered essential fatty acids because they are important to produce several hormones and cell membranes of cells **-Complete protein**: When a protein provides all 20 amino acids in the right amounts. **-Incomplete protein:** When a protein doesn't provides all 20 amino acids in the right amounts. **-Phases of the ovarian cycle** **-** **AIDS** **-**N**erve's pathway when you move or react to any stimulus** **-** **Anatomy of the heart**
