Main hormone produced by thymus
Thymosin
LH secreted by
Ant pit
GH secreted by
ant. pit.
Cortisol and cortisone are secreted by
Adrenal cortex
MSH secreted by
Ant pit
TSH secreted by
Ant pit
Function of calcitonin
Decreases bloood Ca levels by inhibiting osteoclasts
LH function
Triggers ovulation and. stimulates secretion of estrogen and progeserone
PTH function
Increase blood Ca levels by stimulating osteoclast acitvity
T3 and T4
Increases metabolism and BMR
Glucagons vs insulin
Glucagon increase blodo glucose by stim liver to break down to glycogen into glucose
Insulin decreases blood glucose by trasnporting glucose into body cells
Layers of peritoneum
Parietal and visceral
Membranes of the parietal peritoneal
Mesentery – coils the SI
together, and binds it to
posterior abdominal wall.
Mesocolon – binds L. intestine
to posterior abdominal wall
Greater omentum – fatty
apron-like fold hanging over intestine
Lesser omentum –Connects stomach to the liver
Falciform ligament – connects
the liver to the anterior
abdominal wall
Falciform ligament
connects
the liver to the anterior
abdominal wall and seperates it into two lobes
Greater omentum
fatty
apron-like fold hanging over intestine
Lesser omentum
Connects stomach to the liver
Mesencolon
Mesocolon – binds L. intestine
to posterior abdominal wall
Mesentary
coils the SI
together, and binds it to
posterior abdominal wall.
3 pairs of salivary glands
Parotid, sublingual and submandibular
Enzmes released by salivary glands
Amylase, lingual lipase (activated at low pH)
4 Layers of esophagus
Mucosa
submucosa
muscularis
Adventia
4 Regions of stomach
Cardia, fundus, body, pyloris
Functions of low pH of stomach
Acid kills most bacteria
b) Converts pepsinogen to pepsin
What contributes to ulcers? c) Denatures proteins
What produces mucous in the stomach
Goblet cells
