NLN- Anatomy & Physiology/quick and accurate
2025 flshacards
accessory organs - Liver, Gallbladder, Pancreas
aerobic respiration - cellular respiration that uses oxygen, sequentially releasing energy
and storing it in ATP
begins in cytoplasm--ends in mitochondria
alimentary canal - a long, muscular tube that begins at teh mouth and includes the
mouth, pharynx, esophagus, stomcah, small intestine, large intestine, and anus
alveolus - tiny air sac at the end of a bronchiole in the lungs that provides surface area for
gas exchange to occur
amalyse - saliva contains this enzyme; begins the process of chemical digestion by
breaking down starches
(carbohydrates--glucose)
anaerobic respiration - less efficient, produce less ATP
produces lactic acid
aorta - The largest artery in the body; it conducts freshly oxygenated blood from the
heart to the tissues.
, atrioventricular valve - A valve in the heart between each atrium and ventricle that
prevents a backflow of blood when the ventricles contract.
bile - a digestive juice secreted by the liver and stored in the gallbladder--breaks down
fats
Blood - -connective tissue
-variety of cells suspended in liquid (plasmid)
45% CELLS (red cells, white cells, platelets)
55%PLASMID (proteins, ions, hormones, gases)
bronchi - The passages that branch from the trachea and direct air into the lungs
capillaries - tiny blood vessels--connect arteries and veins--where materials enter and
leave blood
cardiovascular system - the body system that consists of the heart, blood vessels, and
blood, and that carries needed substances to cells and carries waste products away from cells
cellular respiration - the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy
from organic moelcules
aerobic or anareobic
