NU110 Exam #3|Questions with complete Answers
manufactures bile, filters out toxins, stores fat, formation of blood plasma proteins, synthesis
of urea, destroys old RBC's, regulation of blood glucose.
Liver
Serves as a storage pouch, digestive organ and churn.
Stomach
Muscular sac on the inferior surface of the liver that stores bile.
Gall bladder
Longest part of the digestive tract. Participates in all aspects of digestive function: secretion,
motility, digestion and absorption.
Small Intestine
Minimal digestion occurs here. Some water is reabsorbed, undigested food is stored, formed
into solid waste material and then eliminated as feces.
Large Intestine
A long gland that extends from the duodenum to the spleen. Produces enzymes that digest
fat, proteins, carbs, and nucleic acids.
Pancreas
small intestine (in order)
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
function of liver
Produces bile, regulation of blood glucose, produces blood plasma proteins and detoxifies
substances in blood, synthesis of urea, destroys old red blood cells, stores fat
2 Sphincters of the stomach
, LES (lower esophageal sphincter) and pyloric sphincter
lower esophageal sphincter (LES)
Ring of muscles between the esophagus and the stomach. Also called cardiac sphincter. Keeps
food from going back up into your esophagus
pyloric sphincter
ring of muscle that guards the opening between the stomach and the duodenum; keeps food
from flowing immediately into the small intestine.
Layers of the urterus (in order from outside to inside)
Peritoneum, myometrium, endometrium
functions of semen
Nourishes spermatozoa
Transports spermatozoa
Neutralizes the acidity of the male urethra and female vagina
Lubricates the reproductive tract
Prevents infection
During what phase of the reproductive cycle does the ova release from the ovary?
Ovulation
Where do sperm mature?
