negative feedback mechanism
trigger a reaction to return to a set point
positive feedback mechanism
trigger a reaction to amplify change; leave the set point
vasodilation
the widening of blood vessels, releasing heat when its hot
vasoconstriction
closing blood vessels, conserving heat in the cold
controls thermoregulation
sympathetic nervous system, which controls hypothalamus
pyrogens
change temperature set point to fight infection, cause fever
renal pelvis
collects urine and delivers it out of kidney
nephron
waste exchange in blood
enters thru renal artery, glomerulus collects waste in filtration/secretion or release it back in absorption, blood leaves thru renal vein
arteries
away from heart
veins
towards heart
capillaries
gas exchange
path to oxygenate blood
enters thru vena cava, then right atrium โ tricuspid valve โ right ventricle โ pulmonary valve โ pulmonary arteryโ thru bronchioles into the capillaries in the lungs โ pulmonary vein โ l. atrium โ l. ventricle โ aortic valve โ aorta
right side of the heart
deals with deoxygenated blood coming from the vena cava by pushing it into the pulmonary artery
left side of the heart
deals with oxygenated blood coming from the pulmonary vein by pushing it into the aorta
atrioventricular valves
tricuspid on the right
bicuspid/mitral on the left
systole
contraction, push blood out (r: push deoxygenated blood into pulmonary artery / l: push oxygenated blood out into aorta)
diastole
relaxation, fill with blood (r: fill with deoyxgenated blood / l: fill with oxygenated blood from pulmonary vein)
first step for oxygen
air enters nasal cavity for warming / filtration
second step for oxygen
travels thru pharynx then larynx
trachea
in trachea, theres cilla preventing unwanted things from entering lungs
trachae splits into bronchi โ bronchioles, terminal b. โ respiratory b. โ aviolar sacs โ alveoli surrounded by capillaries for gas exchange
mouth
physical digestion thru teeth, chemical digestion thru enzymes
amylase
break down starch into sugars
lysozyme
antibacterial properties
esophagus
use peristalsis to push down food
epiglottis
flap covering pharynx, preventing choking
stomach
cardiac sphincter prevents return, chemical digestion through acidic environment, protected by mucus
small intestine
first in + main site for digestion, (micro)villi for absorption
duodenum, jejunum, ileum
large intestine
cecum (connector), colon (absorb water/salts and house bacteria), rectum
accessory organs of the digestive system and their functions
liver (produce bile), gallbladder (store bile), pancreas (release digestive enzymes like insulin) all release into small intestine
