Week 9 Additional Quick Review

These flashcards cover key concepts from the Week 8 lecture notes, focusing on anatomy and physiology related to the digestive and urinary systems, as well as reproductive functions.

Intraperitoneal organs

The main organs located within the peritoneal cavity, including the Stomach, Liver, Spleen, Small intestine, Transverse colon, Sigmoid colon, Cecum (partially), and Appendix.

Cranial nerves VII, IX, X

Nerves that innervate the taste buds.

Parotid gland

The largest salivary gland.

Layers of the digestive tube

The correct order from lumen outward is mucosa, submucosa, muscular (externa) layer, and serosa.

Deciduous teeth

Also known as primary or baby teeth, there are usually 20 present in a full set.

Gastric glands

Major components include parietal cells, chief cells, and G cells.

Pyloric canal

The canal of the stomach that opens into the duodenum.

Pepsinogen

Secreted by chief cells in the gastric gland and converted to active Pepsin in the gastric lumen.

Hydrochloric Acid

Secreted by parietal cells along with intrinsic factor in the gastric gland.

Ileum

The longest portion of the small intestine.

Gallbladder

Organ responsible for the storage and modification of bile.

Nephron

The functional unit of the kidney, consisting of Renal Corpuscles and Renal Tubules.

Renal Corpuscles

Comprising Glomerulus and Bowman Capsule & space.

Glomerulus

A tuft of capillaries in the renal corpuscle.

Renal Tubule

Consists of the proximal convoluted tubule, nephron loop, and distal convoluted tubule.

Minor calyx

Ducts within each renal papilla that empty urine into-

External urethral sphincter

Voluntary muscle of the urinary bladder supplied by the pudendal nerve.

Male Urethra structure order

from the bladder to the exterior is prostatic urethra, membranous urethra, and spongy urethra.

Prepuce

The fold of skin that covers the glans penis.

Interstitial endocrine cells

Cells in the testes that produce testosterone.

Corpus luteum

Structure that secretes progestins.

Milk production hormones

Stimulated by hormones including prolactin, growth hormone, and human placental lactogen.
