Oxytocin is derived from neurological structure with comes from
dienchephalon, made in hypothalamus
“touchdowns made me money”
Vasopressin is secreted by
Neurohypothesis (ADH and oxytocin)
Max amount of air you can blow out after normal breath
Expiratory reserve (never get into reserve volume unless you puncture a lung)
Tropomyosin
Prevents actin from binding to myosin
What transmits an active impulse to rest of muscles
Tubules (sarcoplasmic reticulum-> stores calcium)
Active part of muscle fiber
sarcomere
A sarcomere goes from
z-line to z-line
Role of calmodulin in smooth muscle
Replaces troponin, does latch bridge instead of crossbridge
What do intercalated disk do
Allow for continuous flow of ion transfer
Kidney stones are made of
calcium
Water is reabsorbed through
osmosis
how does aldosterone affect sodium in kidney
increases reabsorption at distal convoluted tubule
How does ADH affect the kidnet
increases the reabsorption at collecting ducts
Papillae drains into
minor calyx
Enzymes from lung convert angiotensin 1 to
angiotensin II
What tissue does it act upon
adrenal cortex
Sperm germ cell migrate to the testes where they become
spermatogonia
What does QRS complex represent
ventricular depolarization
What is a nonreducing sugar
sucrose
What is immediately digested in mouth
starch (salivary amylase)
Esophagus secretes what
mucosa J cells, cardiac cells
What is stored in bones
hyroxyapetite
What carried endogenous triglycerides to tissues
VLDL
What carries endogenous cholesterol
LDL, HDL
