covered by peritoneum only on their anterior surface
* kidneys and ureters, adrenal gland, part of pancreas, \n esophagus, duodenum, ascending and descending \n colon, rectum, aorta, inferior vena cava
2
New cards
acites
a condition where fluid collects in abdomen
* it can affect lungs kidneys and other organs
3
New cards
bolus
what food is reduced to during chewing
* soft, flexible
4
New cards
chyme
formed by mixing waves that mixes bolus with secretions from gastric glands
5
New cards
gastric emptying
when mixing waves force about 3mL of chyme into duedenum through pyloric sphincter
6
New cards
emulsification
break down of large lipids into smaller ones
* bile salts like sodium and potassium play a role in this
7
New cards
segmentations
* contractions in portions of small intestine * mix chyme with digestive juices * bring food into contact with mucosa
8
New cards
migrating motility complex
* form of peristalsis in small intestine * after most of meal has been absorbed * begins in duodenum and ends in ileum
9
New cards
parenchyma
tissue that is the functional part of an organ in the body
10
New cards
stroma
The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body; mostly made up of nerves, CT, blood vessels and lymph
11
New cards
glomerular filtrate
fluid that enters bowmans space
12
New cards
glomerular filtration rate
amount of filtrate passing through kidneys each minute
13
New cards
reabsorption
* 99% of water and most solutes returning to blood * epithelial cells along renal tubules and collecting duct, proximal convoluted tubule
14
New cards
how are most solutes reabsorbed
by passive and active processes
15
New cards
secretion
transfer of materials from blood and tubule cells into kidney tubules
* H+, K+, NH4+, creatine and drugs * things get from blood to urine making them detectable
16
New cards
filtration
1) blood plasma filtered in through glomerulus \n into Bowman’s space \n 2) fluid passes into renal tubules (3 sections) \n – proximal convoluted tubule \n – loops of Henle: descending and ascending loops \n – distal convoluted tubule \n 3) fluid leaves distal convoluted tubule and \n empties into collecting duct
17
New cards
urinalysis
things get from blood to urine making them detectable
18
New cards
thirst center
area in hypothalamus that controls urge to to drink
19
New cards
what is the enteric nervous system
100 million neurons that extend from esophogus to anus
20
New cards
what makes up the enteric nervous system (type of neurons)
motor neurons, sensory neurons and interneurons
21
New cards
what receptors make up the enteric nervous sytem
chemical and strech receptors
22
New cards
what is the peritoneum
large serous membrane (serosa)
23
New cards
Parietal peritoneum
lines walls of abdonimopelvic cavity
24
New cards
Visceral peritoneum
covers some of the organs
25
New cards
peritoneal cavity
space between parietal and visceral cavity that contains lubricating fluid
26
New cards
what is it called when fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity
ascites
27
New cards
What are the five major folds of the peritoneum
greater omentum
lesser omentum
mesentary
mesocolon
falciform ligament
28
New cards
greator omentum
largest of the fold
* drapes over transverse colon and coils of small intestine * adipose, lymph nodes
29
New cards
lesser omentum
between stomach and liver
* blood vessels entering liver, hepatic portal vein, common hepatic artery, common bile duct
30
New cards
mesentary
binds jejunum and ileum to posterior abdominal wall
* adipose, blood vessels, lymph nodes
31
New cards
mesocolon
bind transverse and sigmoid colonto __**posterior**__ abdominal wall
* blood vessels, lymph nodes
32
New cards
falciform ligament
attatches liver to __**anterior**__ abdominal wall and diaphragm
