Anatomy

QuestionAnswer
rough ER: synthesis of: secretory proteins, integral membrane proteins
smooth ER: synthesis of: lipids & steroids; also CHO metab
Golgi apparatus process & package proteins & lipids
1st branchial (pharyngeal) arch AKA mandibular arch = Trigeminal nerve (V2 and V3)
2nd branchial (pharyngeal) arch AKA hyoid arch = Facial nerve (VII)
3rd branchial (pharyngeal) arch = Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
4th branchial (pharyngeal) arch = Vagus nerve (X); Superior laryngeal nerve
6th branchial (pharyngeal) arch = Vagus nerve (X); Recurrent laryngeal nerve
Hypothalamus hormones CRH, GHRH, GnRH, TRH, DA, SS
Pituitary hormones Prolactin; GH; ACTH; ADH; TSH; LH/FSH
Adrenal hormones Epinephrine; Cortisol; Aldosterone
Control of prolactin produced by pit; neg inhib by DA (so the more DA, less prolactin)
Regulation of Hypothalamus Upper cortical inputs (CNS); Autonomic NS; environmental cues (light & temp); Peripheral endocrine FB
FSH: fx Estrogen (F); Spermatogenesis (M) [if no estrogen prod: FSH increases]
LH: fx regulates ovulation; stimulates testosterone in men [if no testosterone prod: LH increases]
TSH: fx increases thyroid hormone production [if no TH prod: TSH increases]
Prolactin: fx induces lactation
GH: fx controls acral growth
ACTH: fx stimulates cortisol production
Axial skeleton: 15 % of skel mass; verts, pelvis, skull; majority of cancellous bone (most of Ca efflux from this); 80 % of metabolic activity
Appendicular Skeleton 85 % of skel mass; long bones; majority of cortical bone; 20 % of metabolic activity
More abundant; precursor to T3 T4
exerts majority of thyroidal hormone effects: T3
Circulating T3 & T4 most is pro-bound; unbound = regulator for negative feedback inhibition mechanism
Thyroid hormones control: O2 consumption CHO & protein metabolism, electrolyte mobilization & conversion of carotene to Vitamin A; also lipid synth & metab
Thyroid & insulin req in DM Hypo: dec insulin req, inc chol/TG; hyper = inc insulin req, dec chol/TG
TBG affects: amt serum T3 & T4 (not physiologic thyroid status, which is affected by free hormone)
2 actions of ADH Alters the permeability of renal collecting tubules to water; Causes vasoconstriction
ADH is secreted when serum osmo exceeds: 285 mOsm/L
Vit D metabolites: fn responsible for absorption of dietary calcium & phosphate in intestines; enhance PTH fx on mobilization of skeletal Ca & PO4
IGF's fn: IGF’s mediate the effect of GH on skeletal muscle
Aldosterone made in: zona glomerulosa
Aldosterone fn reabsorption of sodium and excretion of potassium; prevention of hypovolemia & hyperkalemia
Cortisol fn counters fx of insulin; anti-inflam
Cortisol level highest when: in AM; in stress & exercise
Bartholin vs skene glands bartholin: below and lateral to vagina, similar to Cowper gland; Skene: above and lateral (anterior vaginal wall)
2 components of Aorta thoracic (ascending, arch, descending); Abdominal
3 layers of aorta: Intima; Media; Adventitia
Hesselbach triangle rectus sheath, inferior epigastric vessels, inguinal ligament
GI tract layers SLMCSSM: serosa, mx externa (long mx, myenteric plexus, circular mx), submucosal plexus, serosa, (mx) mucosa, lam propria, epithelium
Sinus devt maxil / ethmoid dz most common; fully formed at birth (clinical dz at 6 mos); sphenoid 7-8 yrs; frontal early teens

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
