Q

What are the three phases of digestion and their function?

A
  1. Cephalic phases - prepare the mouth and stomach for food (activated by smell, sight, thought or initial taste of food)
  2. Gastric phase - begins when food arrives in stomach (activated by stomach stretching) and works to promote gastric secretions and motility
  3. Intestinal phase - when food enter small intestines; promotes digestion of food and slows exit of chyme from stomach

31
Q

Where does the majority of tubular reabsorption happen?

A

Proximal tubule of the nephron

32
Q

What is the function of aldosterone?

A
  • Produced by the adrenal gland
  • Increases renal reabsorption of Na+, CL- and water
  • Increases blood volume and pressure
33
Q

Functions of angiotensin II?

A
  • Released in response to a decreased blood pressure
  • Vasoconstriction of arterioles
  • Reduces glomerular filtration rate
  • Also stimulates the release of ADH
34
Q

What is the function of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)?

A
  • Released from the posterior pituitary gland
  • Stimulates the insertion of water channels (aquaporin-2) to increase water reabsorption
  • Decreases osmolarity of body fluids
35
Q

Name the type of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) in the small intestine.

A

Peyer’s patches

36
Q

There are 7 main constituents of abnormal urine. Name them.

A

  2. proteins
  3. ketone bodies
  4. haemoglobin
  5. bile pigments
  6. erythrocytes
  7. leukocytes
37
Q

Reduction in blood pressure stimulates the kidney to secrete what?

A

38
Q

The seminal vesicles, prostate gland and bulbourethral glands are considered what…?

A

Accessory sex glands

39
Q

In males, the system of ducts includes the ductus epididymis, ductus deferens, ejaculatory duct and urethra. What is the broad function of ducts?

Q

Seminal secretions are alkaline to help neutralise the acid in the male urethra and female reproductive tract.

What are the 3 main seminal secretions and their function?

A

  2. prostaglandins - sperm motility and viability, and stimulate smooth muscle contractions in female
  3. clotting protein semenogelin - helps semen coagulate after ejaculation
42
Q

Secretions of the prostate gland include…

A
  1. citric acid - ATP production
  2. acid phosphatase

If egg is fertilised, what hormone maintains the corpus luteum?

A

hCG

53
Q

What is the hormone released from the posterior pituitary gland that stimulates the insertion of water channels to increase water reabsorption?

A

54
Q

What is the hormone produced by the adrenal glands that increases renal reabsorption of Na2+, Cl- and water resulting in increased blood volume?

A

A

Renin

57
Q

What is the hormone released from the heart in response to high blood pressure that results in increased excretion of sodium?

A

ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide)
