The Digestive/Urinary System, Luis Madrigal, P.5 (Disorders of the…

- - - - Filters blood and creates urine
    - - Carries urine from kidneypelvis to the urinary bladder where they enter
    - - Stores and releases urine
- - - - responsible for secreting a lubricating liquid that contains digestive enzyme amylase
    - - finger-like extensions of the intestinal mucosa that increase the surface area
    - - two anatomical regions involved in the physical or mechanical breakdown of food
    - - organ that moves food around and contains taste buds
    - - Sac hanging from the initial part of colon; serves no purpose in humans
    - - Bony portion of the roof of the mouth
    - - literally a food chute; a tube that leads from mouth to stomach
    - - Made up of the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum; most nutrient absorption occurs here
    - - part of the large intestine primarily involved in water absorption and feces formation
    - - part of the small intestine into which the stomach empties
    - - controlling the movement of food from the stomach into the duodenum
    - - uvula hangs from its posterior edge
    - - region, containing two sphincters, through which feces are expelled from the body
    - - organ that produces bile
    - - organ that stores bile
- - - - Moves food through the digestive tract (propulsion); mix food with digestive juices and enzymes (segmentation)
    - - Protection & anchoring
    - - Major site of blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves; in the stomach, it contains elastic fibers to help it regain its shape
    - - Secretes mucus, enzymes, and hormones; absorbs nutrients into the blood and lymph
- - - - tiny ball of capillaries in the kidney
    - - cup-shaped structure in the upper end of a nephron that encases the glomerulus
    - - The small artery that carries blood toward the capillaries of the glomerulus.
    - - The small artery that carries blood away from the capillaries of the glomerulus.
    - - beginning segment of nephron where 60-65% of the water and virtually all nutrients, electrolytes, and plasma proteins
    - - a portion of kidney nephron between the loop of Henle and the collecting duct system
    - - the hormone that creates aquaporin holes in the sides of the nephron collecting duct, which causes additional water reabsorption
    - - section of the nephron tubule that conserves water and minimizes the volume of urine
