|
Small Intestine (8) |
1. Most digestion occurs here 2. Most absorption occurs here 3. Digestive enzymes come from pancreas such as pancreatic amylase, trypsin, and lipase 4. Liver provides bile to help digest fats 5. Absorption surface high due to villi and microvilli 6. Amino Acids and glucose go into capillaries while fat goes into the lacteals 7. Digestion under nervous system and significant local hormonal control 8. Sodium bicarbonate from pancreas neutralizes all of the acid from the stomach |
|
Liver (3) |
1. Main biochemical processing paint 2. Hepatic portal system: all blood from digestive tract must flow through the liver first before going to the rest of the body 3. Regulates the composition of blood |
|
Pancreas (1) |
Besides producing digestive enzymes, the organ produces insulin and glucagon for glucose regulation |
|
Large Intestine (2) |
1. Principal area: water salt, vitamins absorbed 2. Indigestible waste is eliminated |
|
General Urinary System (4) |
1. Kidney 2. Ureters 3. Urinary Bladder 4. Urethra |
|
Kidney Structure: Gross Anatomy (3) |
1. Renal cortex 2. Renal medulla 3. Renal pelvis |
|
Kidney Structure: The Nephron (8) |
1. Afferent and efferent arterioles 2. Glomerulus 3. Peritubular capillary network 4. Glomerular capsule 5. Proximal convoluted tubule 6. Collecting duct |
