The digestive system has three accessory organs that aid food breakdown - ANS-Pancreas, liver and gallbladder
The pancreas is the only organ with - ANS-Exorcine and endocrine functions
The exorcine function of the pancreas is to - ANS-Excrete digestive enzymes into the small intestine
The enzymes include - ANS-Pancreatin, trypsin, maltase, amylase, and lipase (P.T.M.A.L)
The liver has many important functions - ANS-- Produce bile
-Converts glucose to glycogen
- Stores fat soluble vitamins
- breaks toxins.
- Destroys old RBC
- synthesizes blood proteins
The liver produces - ANS-Cholesterol, coagulation, products and antibodies
The gallbladder located adjacent to the liver stores - ANS-Bile until needed in the small intestine for digestion
Ball and socket joint - ANS-Ball like convex surface that fits into a concave shaped socket.
Ex. Hip and shoulder joint
Three main types of blood vessels - ANS-Arteries, veins, capillaries
Arteries carry blood - ANS-Away from the heart *hint: away=anterior*
Veins carry blood - ANS-Back to the heart *hint veins=ventricular*
Capillaries - ANS-Carry blood between the arterial and venous vessels. *hint: capillaries=carry*
Blood is pumped from the heart to the - ANS-aorta
Arterioles - ANS-Aorta branches into other arteries which branch into smaller vessels
The blood moves from arterioles to - ANS-Microscopic capillaries
What is exchanged through the thin walls of the capillaries? - ANS-Gases, nutrients, and wastes
Venules - ANS-Blood which gave up on oxygen flows from the capillaries into tiny veins
Venules branch together to form - ANS-Larger veins
The blood is returned to the heart in the bodies... - ANS-Largest veins, superior and inferior vena cava
With the exception of the pulmonary artery - ANS-Blood in the arteries is oxygenated
