COMPLETE SOLUTION GRADED A+
Primary function of the respiratory system Takes in oxygen from the environment and releases carbon dioxide.
Alveoli function Microscopic sacs where exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs.
Systole vs. Diastole Systole is cardiac contraction (lub); diastole is cardiac relaxation (dub).
First heart sound ("lub") cause Closing of the tricuspid and mitral (atrioventricular) valves.
Second heart sound ("dub") cause Closing of the aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves.
Blood vessels carrying oxygenated blood Pulmonary veins and aorta.
Primary site of nutrient absorption in the digestive Jejunum of the small intestine.
system
Primary function of the large intestine Absorption of water and electrolytes.
Stomach parietal cells function Secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) and intrinsic factor.
Stomach chief cells function Secrete pepsinogen and gastric lipase.
Bile production and storage Produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder.
Central Nervous System (CNS) components Brain and spinal cord.
Afferent vs. Efferent neurons Afferent carry sensory signals to CNS; efferent carry motor signals to
effectors.
Somatic vs. Autonomic nervous system Somatic controls voluntary movements; autonomic controls involuntary
organ
functions.
Layers of the epidermis (superficial to deep) Stratum corneum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum,
stratum
basale.
Structures located in the dermis Blood vessels, hair follicles, sweat glands, nerve endings, and collagen.
Sudoriferous glands Exocrine glands that produce sweat for thermoregulation.
Master gland of the endocrine system Pituitary gland.
Calcitonin vs. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Calcitonin lowers blood calcium levels; PTH raises blood calcium levels.
Pancreatic hormones regulating blood sugar Insulin lowers blood glucose; glucagon increases blood glucose.
Glomerulus function in the kidney Network of capillaries that begins blood filtration to form urine.
