mouth
chew food to churn
esophagus
ingestion and peristalsis
Major organs of the urinary systems
renal artery, renal hilum, renal vein, kidney, ureter, urinary bladder, urethra
Digestive enzymes
Amylase (for carbohydrates)
Lipases (for lipids)
Proteases (for proteins)
Nucleases (for nucleic acids)
Location of digestion and absorption of each macromolecule
small intestine
vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
vitamins (C and B)
Vitamin B12 (large, charged molecule)
large intestine
vitamin K and B vitamins
Layers of the GI tract
mucous
submucousa
muscularis external
Nephron anatomy and physiology
2 main parts
renal corpuscle
glomerulus
Allows for efficient filtrate formation
glmerular capsule
allows for filtrate to go into capsular space
renal tubule
distal convoluted tubule
secretion and absorption
nephron loop
ascending and descending limb
proximal convoluted tubule
absorption and secretion
location: kidney
Disorders of the digestive and urinary systems
urinary tract infection
cloudy urine color
kidney stones
when urine has high levels of minerals and salts
urinalysis
examining urine for disease
bladder cancer
when bladder cells grow out of control
