Non-keratinized stratified squamous
4 Areas of the stomach
Cardia, fundus, body, pylorus
Chief cells
Secrete pepsinogen (activated to become pepsin)
Parietal cells
Secrete HCl
Mucous/Goblet cells
Secrete mucus (protects GI lining from acid/enzyme damage)
Enteroendocrine cells
Secrete gastrin to regulate the secretion of gastric juices
Sections of the small intestine
Duodenum, jejunum, ileum
Segmentation
Mixing of chyme in the small intestine, brings chyme into contact with mucosa
Peristalsis
Movement of chyme through the intestines via wave-like muscle contractions
GALT
Gut-associated lymphoid tissue
Vermiform appendix
Small organ at junction of small and large intestine with an immune role (GALT)
Large intestine (H)
Columnar cells, goblet cells
Hemorrhoids
Varicose rectal veins

3 layers of the kidney
Fibrous capsule, middle adipose capsule, outer renal fascia
How many nephrons are in one kidney?
1,000,000
Renal corpuscle
Renal tubule and glomerus with knot of capillaries
Endothelial-capsular membrane
Found within the renal corpuscle, major site of blood filtration
Glomerular endothelium
Membrane with pores for blood cells to travel through, contains fenestrated capillaries
Glomerular basement membrane
Filters out proteins by restricting their passage
Renal corpuscle epithelium
Podocytes (filter cells) with pedicels (create a filtration slit) covering basement membrane
Filtration slits
Between interlocking pedicels, help restrict movement of small proteins

Follicle-stimulating hormone
Regulates the production of eggs and sperm
Luteinizing hormone
Stimulates sexual activities
What connects the lobes of the thyroid gland?
Isthmus
Parafollicular cells
Initiate calcitonin production, which regulates osteoclast activity
Hyposecretion
Causes dwarfism, mental development issues, lethargy
Hypersecretion
Goiters (gland enlargement), edema in the eyes, high metabolism
Cortex of adrenal gland
Produces aldosterone (salt water balance), cortisones (reduces inflammation), sex hormones
Medulla of adrenal gland
Chromaffin cells produce epinephrine and norepinephrine
Alpha secretory cells in pancreas
Make glucagon (raises blood sugar)
Beta secretory cells in pancreas
Make insulin (lowers blood sugar)
Delta secretory cells in pancreas
Make somatostatin to regulate alpha and beta secretion
F cells in pacreas
