1
New cards

4
New cards

Protein Digestion Uses What to become what?

HCl and Pepsin to become chyme.

5
New cards

chief cells in stomach cells release what?

pepsinogen and inactive enzymes.

6
New cards

oxyntic (parietal cells) in stomach cells release what?

mucus to protect stomach

8

10
New cards

Functions of Pancreas

Send enzymes into duodenum

11
New cards

Acinar Cells do what?

Make enzymes such as trypsinogen, chymo, procarboxypeptidase need to be inactive or else it willl need to digest itself.

12
New cards

What cell releases sodium bicarbonate?

duct cells

13
New cards

When is secretin released?

When acid enters the duodenum. It helps balance acid and slows stomach secretion.

14
New cards

When is CCK released?

Released when fat and protein enters duodenum. Since they are fat they slow down stomach emptying. It promotes the pancreatic enzymes.

18
New cards

19
New cards

20
New cards

Smooth muscles have special pacemaker cells called what?

Interstitial Cells that are similar to the heart’s pacemaker.

21
New cards

Enteric nervous system

22
New cards

What increases acidity and motility in hormones?

Gastrin

23
New cards

What increases bicarbonate and decreases acid?

Secretin

24
New cards

What increases enzymes and bile and decreases stomach emptying?

CCK?

25
New cards

what factors decrease the rate of diffusion?

molecular rate and dstance.

26
New cards

absolute refractory

when sodium gate closes

27
New cards

relative refractory

decrease in resting membrane (hyperpolarization)

28
New cards

Unmyelinated movement during conduction is called what

continguous

29
New cards

myelinated jumping conduction

saltatory

30
New cards

graded potential is a short distance that includes what that fluctuates what?

it includes dendrites, cell body, and stimulus strength that prevent backward voltage movement. It is dependent on membrane potential fluctuation.

31
New cards

action potential requires what line and what distance?

long distance and requires threshold potential

32
New cards

chemical synapse goes where?

into the brain and happens several times across the axon terminal.

33
New cards

IPSP is what part of the action potential graph and what does it include?

GABA glycine; hyperpolarization

34
New cards

IPSP is what part of the action potential graph and what does it include?

Ach/glutamate, depolarization

35
New cards

Temporal summation

EXT1 ×2

36
New cards

Spacial Summation

EXT EXT *2

37
New cards

Where are interneurons?

CNS

38
New cards

hypothalamus vs thalamus

homeostasis, motor control and sensory input

39
New cards

photoreceptor process (rod/cone)

ganglion exposes photoreceptor—>rhodopsin—> activates CGMP—>closes K+ gates—>relays to the thalamus—>occipital lobe—> motor control;

40
New cards

in the eyes, neurons and photoreceptors are in what energy state?

neurons are depolarized and photoreceptors hyperpolarize.

41
New cards

external ear

pinna and tymphanic

42
New cards

middle ear

ossicles and oval window

43
New cards

inner ear

tectorial, bascillar, vestibular

44
New cards

where does the stereocillia touch?

the tectorial from the bascillar

45
New cards

does the ear use graded receptor potential?

yes, moves to temporal

46
New cards

Tonic: light pressure and deep

Merkel, Ruffini

47
New cards

Phasic: light pressure and deep

Meissners and Pacinian

48
New cards

Somatic is in what body parts

49
New cards

Sensory vs Motor Homonculus

50
New cards

withdrawal
