Chyme - Accurate answers Stomach secretion mixture
includes mucus (lines the stomach), hydrochloric acid, and pepsinogen
Cytotoxic T cell - Accurate answers *Recruited by helper T cell via cytokinesis
*kill any cell containing pathogens antigen signature
Role of Duodenum - Accurate answers *First portion of the small intestine
*most chemical digestion here but no real absorption
*Pancreatic secretions collect here for neutralizing HCl
*Gallbladder Bile is alkaline to help neutralize acid
*brush border enzymes produced here
Role of Jejunum - Accurate answers absorption of nutrients mostly here
bronchopulmonary segments - Accurate answers Each lung lobe has its own bronchus and own
artery
olecranial - Accurate answers Back of elbow
Pepsinogen - Accurate answers *enzyme that breaks down peptides in the stomach
*found in chyme
*is converted to pepsin

*Vitamin K absorbed here
*digested material exposed to bacterial fermination
Renin - Accurate answers *hormone that regulates retention of water and salts; stimulates release
of aldosterone that helps retain water and salts
*regulates BP in controlling water and salt retention
Male Gamete production - Accurate answers *LH released in testes to produce more testosterone
*sperm production when testosterone and FSH released in the testes
, High Blood sugar - Accurate answers increase glucose signals pancreatic beta-cells to release
insulin, promoting cell uptake to decrease BG
Lacteals - Accurate answers lymphatic vessels of small intestine that absorb digested lipids
Ileum characteristics - Accurate answers Absorbs what jejunum doesnt absorb
absorb polar hydrophilic digested nutrients into blood
*Absorb Lipids (into chylomicrons transporters) and Vitamin B12

*hormone for RBC production
Female Zygote Implantation - Accurate answers *Corpus luteum: empty ovary follicle stimulate
release of progesterone
*progesterone promotes zygote implantation on the uterine endometrium
innate immunity - Accurate answers *non-specific immune response
*first line of defenses are the skin, mucus secretions
*our microbiota help fight certain pathogens
Sural - Accurate answers Calf
Female Gamete production - Accurate answers *FSH released in ovaries to produce more estrogen
*Estrogen cause ova to mature in ovaries' follicle and causes uterine endometrium to thicken
*LH surge causes ovum to be release into fallopian tube to be fertilized

*breaks down starch (carbohydrates)
buccal - Accurate answers cheek
Granulocytes - Accurate answers *basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils
*derived from myeloblast
Low Blood Sugar - Accurate answers triggers pancreatic alpha-cells to release glucagon which
breaks down glycogen to glucose to increase BG
