Rose Dummgian P5 explain the dysfunction in relation to water balance and its possible treatments Kidneys “In humans, each kidney has a bean-shaped appearance with a convex and concave side.” The kidneys are bean-shaped organs and are about 11cm long and 6cm wide and 3cm thick. They are embedded in, and held in position by a mass of fat. The concaved area of the kidney faces the hilum which is the mid-line of the body. The renal vein and ureter vein surface from the kidney, at the hilum the renal artery goes into the kidney. The kidney is surrounded by a capsule membrane, each of these membranes are topped by the conical adrenal gland.
The bulk of the pancreas is a ___________ gland. 217. What type of specialized cells are present in the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice? 218. Where does the pancreatic duct lead to?
What vital functions of the kidneys are performed by the nephrons? A. The nephrons function as a filter and vascular components in the kidney. The nephron begins as Bowman’s glomerular capsule which works with the enclosed glomerulus to make a renal corpuscle. The viscelar layer of the Bowman’s capsule and the endothelial capillary network of the glomerulus come together and form an endothelial-capsular membrane.
They form the lining of cavities such as the mouth, blood capillaries, heart and lung alveoli and make up the outer layers of the skin. Simple Cuboidal Epithelium are roughly square in shape and have a circular nucleus in the centre of each cell. They are found in glands and in the lining of the kidney tubules. Simple Columnar Epithelium occur in one or more layers. They are elongated and column shaped.
Stores and concentrates bile 19. Filters the blood coming from the digestive tract. Detoxifies chemicals and metabolizes drugs, secretes bile and makes
e. Determine the direction of blood and lymph movement between arterioles, blood and lymph capillaries, and venules. Blood flows from arteries to capillaries to veins. Fluid that leaks out of the capillaries becomes interstitial fluid and is drained as lymph via the lymphatic circulation. Lymph flows from the interstitial tissue to lymphatic capillaries to larger lymphatic vessels to lymphatic ducts and ultimately into veins. f. Describe the lymphatic system role with regard to lipids and lipid-soluble vitamins.
Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance: Introduction to Body Fluids 1. a. Where are fluids absorbed? intestine/GI tract b. Where are excess fluids and electrolytes lost? kidneys/urinary system 2.
d. Zach’s G.I. tract needs the substance to assist in the breakdown of food and for absorption. Epithelial cells extend into the lamina where they form secretory folds called gastric glands. Several of these glands open into the gastric pits and secretions from these glands flow into the pits. E. If Zach’s only normal digestive enzymes from his mouth, what
Produces essential proteins and clotting factors for the blood and regulates metabolism and cholesterol. Gall Bladder – Stores bile secreted by liver. Bile is used to help dissolve fats in the small intestine. Pancreas – Functions both as an exocrine gland and an endocrine gland. Exocrine portion secretes digestive enzymes carried to the duodenum.
| Pancreas is able to produce the right chemicals at the right times in the right quantities in order to properly digest the food we eat. | Kidneys | Paired organs in the abdomen. | They prodouce urine. | Bladder | Near the pelvis | It stores urine | Uterus | In abdomen | They pass urine from the bladder to urethra | Ovaries | In the pelvis | They produced eggs (ovaries and hormones. | Liver | The liver is the second largest organ in the human body (after the skin) and the largest gland | It is located on the right side of the abdomen (to the right of the stomach) behind the lower ribs and below the lungs.
