Digestive & Urinary System Dayani Solano Per.2nd
Major functions of the urinary system
eliminate waste from the body
regulate blood volume and blood pressure
control levels of electrolytes and metabolites
regulate blood pH
Major organs of the urinary systems
ureters
carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder
bladder
stores urine; contract and flatten to empty urine
renal pelvis
collects the urine as it is produced
urethra
empties urine from the bladder.
kidneys
Removal of waste products.
Location of digestion and absorption of each macromolecule
protein
Enzymes and hormone production
fat
support cell function
carbohydrates
provide energy to the body
Nephron anatomy and physiology
renal tubule
fluid and waste in the renal tubules become urine
renal corpuscle
blood-filtering component of the nephron of the kidney
Major organs of the digestive system
liver
Storage of glycogen, vitamins, and minerals.
gallbladder
stores bile, it concentrates bile,
pancreas
helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar.
small intestine
further digest food coming from the stomach
stomach
digests food and produces enzymes
large intestine
turns food waste into stool and passes it from the body when you poop
esophagus
hollow, muscular tube that carries food and liquid from your throat to your stomach
mouth
eating and speaking
anus
end of the alimentary canal through which solid waste matter leaves the body
Layers of the GI tract (including stomach)
Serous layer/serosa.
lining the contents and inner walls of body cavities
Mucosa
The moist, inner lining of some organs and body cavities
Muscular layer.
responsible for gut movement such as peristalsis
Submucosa
allows the mucosa to move flexibly during peristalsis.
Major functions of the digestive system
secretion
Body substance in a liquid or semisolid state produced by an exocrine gland
digestion
breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules
absorption
taking nutrients from the digestive system into the blood so they can be used in the body
Motility
contraction of the muscles that mix and propel contents in the GI tract.
Digestive enzymes (including names and functions)
Protease
breaks down proteins into amino acids.
Lipase
breaks down lipids, which are fats and oils, into glycerol and fatty acids.
Amylase
breaks down starches and carbohydrates into sugars
Disorders of the digestive and urinary systems
Celiac disease
chronic digestive and immune disorder that damages the small intestine
Diverticulitis
infection or inflammation of pouches that can form in your intestines.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease
digestive disorder that occurs when acidic stomach juices, or food and fluids back up from the stomach
Inflammatory bowel disease
affects the colon and the last part of the small intestine
Irritable bowel syndrome
common disorder that affects the large intestine.
urinary tract infection
infection in any part of your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra
