Digestive/Urinary System Diana Martinez P.4
major function of digestive system
breakdown of food into small molecules, which are then absorbed into the body
major function of urinary
eliminate waste from the body
regulate blood volume and blood pressure
control levels of electrolytes and metabolites
regulate blood pH
major oragans or digestive
mouth
where food is chewed & mixed to begin food digestion
tongue
mixes food when chewing; initiation of swallowing; speech and taste
salivary glands
cleanses mouth;dissolves food chemicals for taste; moistens food
teeth
mastication: breaks food into tiny pieces
pharynx
allows passage of food, fluid & air
esophagus
propulses food
stomach
carries broken down food
liver
produce bile
gallbladder
store & concentrate bile by absorbing water & ions
pancreas
exocrine
produce pancreatic juice
endocrine
secretion of insulin & glucagon
small intestine
absorbs nutrients & water
large intestine
storage of feces; recovery of water
major organs of urinary
kidney
filter blood
remove wastes
excretes waste in urine
ureters
carries urine from the renal pelvis to the urinary bladder
wall consists of 3 layers
1, fibrous coat
supporting layer of fibrous connective tissue
2, muscular coat
main function of this layer is peristalsis: to propel the urine
mucosa
secretes mucus, which coats and protects the surface of the cells
urinary bladder
temporary storage reservoir for urine
urethra
final passageway for the flow of urine
digestive enzymes
Amylase
breaks down carbs and starches
Protease
works on proteins
Lipase
handles fats
location of digestion and absorption of each macromolecule
small intestine is the site of most chemical digestion and almost all absorption
absorbed through the intestinal wall and into the general circulation
layers of GI tract
1) mucosa
2) submucosa
3) muscularis propria
4) adventitia
Nephron anatomy and physiology
structural and functional units that form urine
renal corpuscle
Glomerulus
Glomerular capsule
renal tubule
Proximal convoluted tubule
Nephron loop
Distal convoluted tubule
disorders of the digestive and urinary systems
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Peptic Ulcer Disease/Gastritis
Stomach Flu
Gluten Sensitivity and Celiac Disease
