NLN PAX: HUMAN ANATOMY &
PHYSIOLOGY
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - Correct Answer - -digestion: chemical and mechanical
breakdown of food
types of digestion - Correct Answer - -chemical: breakdown of food particles into
small molecules
-mechanical: phy. breakdown of food (ex. mastication/chewing)
process of digestion - Correct Answer - mouth: beginning of mechanical break down
and beginning of chemical digestion (amylase)
pharynx
esophagus
stomach: peristalsis and hydrochloric acid & protease
small intestine: absorption and digestion
large intestine: absorption of water
rectum: storage for waste
anus: exit of waste (feces) aka egestion
accessory organs - Correct Answer - -liver: production of bile (which goes in the
gallbladder)
-gallbladder: bile is stored here; breakdown of fat
-pancreas: storage of digestive enzymes
nutrient, enzymes, result and location - Correct Answer - -CARBOHYDRATES:
*enzymes: amylase, sucrase and maltase
*product: glucose
*fr. mouth to the end of the small intestine
-PROTEIN:
, *enzymes: proteases
*product: amino acids
*stomach to the small intestine
-LIPIDS:
*enzymes: lipases
*product: fatty acids and glycerol
*small intestine
CIRCULATION SYSTEM: CARDIOVASCULAR AND LYMPHATIC - Correct Answer - -
circulation: internal transport of fluid throughout the body; exchange of gases,
absorption of nutrients and disposal of wastes
-circulation consists of 2 paths:
1.cardiovascular
2.lymphatic
CIRCULATION SYS: CARDIOVASCULAR SYS (PATHWAY) - Correct Answer - -consists
of:
1.heart: 4 chambers - atRia(RECEIVE) & ventricleS(PUMPS OUT)
2.blood vessels
3.blood
cardiovascular pathway - Correct Answer - sup/inf. V.C
right atrium
tricuspid valve(atrioventricular)
right ventricle
semilunar valve(pulmonary)
pulmonary arteries (gas exchange)
pulmonary veins (oxygenated blood)
left atrium
mitral valve(bicusid)
left ventricle
aortic seiluar valve
aorta
