What hormone stimulates secretion of gastric acid by the parietal cells of the stomach?
Gastrin
What hormone stimulates the digestion of fat and protein by signaling the gallbladder to release bile?
Cholecystokinin
What enzyme helps digest and break down proteins in the small intestine?
Trypsin
What enzyme in the stomach breaks down proteins into smaller peptides?
Pepsin
What glycoprotein (factor) is required for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine?
Intrinsic Factor
What group of neurons in the medulla controls the rhythm of breathing?
Ventral Respiratory Group
What hemoglobin is bound to carbon dioxide, allowing CO2 transport in the blood?
Carbaminohemoglobin
What are enzymes located on the microvilli of the small intestine that aid in final digestion?
Brush Border Enzymes
What ions help neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine?
Bicarbonate Ions
What hormone stimulates the pancreas to secrete bicarbonate-rich fluid to neutralize acid?
Secretin
What substance reduces surface tension in the alveoli, preventing lung collapse?
Surfactant
What cells in the digestive tract secrete hormones like gastrin and secretin?
Enteroendocrine Cells
What cells in the stomach produce hydrochloric acid and intrinsic factor?
Parietal Cells
What group of neurons in the pons modulates respiratory rhythm?
The Pontine Respiratory Group
What liver cells are involved in digestion and metabolism?
Hepatocytes
What cells in the stomach secrete pepsinogen, the precursor to pepsin?
Chief Cells
What are folds in the stomach lining that allow for expansion?
Rugae
What are folds in the small intestine that increase surface area for nutrient absorption?
Circular Folds
? Respiration
Diffusion of gases between blood and lungs
? Respiration
Diffusion of gases between blood and tissues
external, internal
? ? coupling is the process that coordinates the lungs and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to the body’s tissues
Ventilation-Perfusion Coupling
What principle states that pressure and volume of gas are inversely proportional, meaning that if the volume increases the pressure decreases & if the volume decreases the pressure increases
Boyle’s Law
What states that the total pressure is equal to the sum of the all individual gases?
?+?+?=______, so _______ is = to total pressure
Dalton’s Law
What principle states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to its partial pressure?
high solubility = high Partial Pressure
low solubility = low Partial Pressure
Henry’s Law
What principle says how lower pH (more acidic) reduces hemoglobin’s oxygen affinity, aiding oxygen release?
The Bohr Effect
