16
Q

Pepsinogen

A

Produced in the stomach, activated by HCL, converts to pepsin to digest proteins

17
Q

Ghrelin

A

Induces hunger

18
Q

Leptin

A

Causes the sensation of satiety

19
Q

Where is sperm produced?

A

In the seminiferous tubules

20
Q

What does the prostate do?

A

Produces fluids necessary for nourishment of sperm

21
Q

What initiates puberty in males?

A

The production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. This triggers FSH and LH to be released from the anterior pituitary gland. LH stimulates the release of testosterone. FSH and testosterone trigger the development of sperm celss

22
Q

What initiates puberty in females?

A

The production of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus. This triggers FSH and LH to be released from the anterior pituitary gland. FSH triggers estrogen production. The release of estrogen causes eggs to mature and the uterine endometrium to thiken. LH causes the an egg to be released. The corpus luteum then produces large amounts of progesterone to prepare for implantation.

23
Q

What part of the immune system does the skin fall under?

24
Q

Ceruminous Glands

A

Ear wax production

25
Sebaceous glands
Oil/Sebum
26
Hormones of the anterior pituitary gland
TSH, HG, ACTH, FSH, LH, MSH, prolactin
27
Innate immune system
Nonspecific response First Line: skin, mucus, secretions - seals the body Second Line: phagocytes, specific proteins, inflammatory respose Third: Adaptive defense(B cells, T cells)
28
How does the innate immune system defend?
Barriers, histamines, interferons, antimicrobial peptides, NK lymphocytes
29
How does the adaptive defense system respond to specific pathogens?
Either a cellular response that destroys the infected cell or the humoral response the destroys pathogens found in body fluids using antibodies secreted by B cells
30
How does the adaptive defense system destroy pathogens from antigen identification to cell/pathogen destruction?
An antigen presenting cell such as a macrophage digests the pathogen and presents the antigen spike to a helper T Cell The helper T cell then activates a B cell or cytotoxic T cell. B cells will produce antibodies and memory cells for future use
