  • Dorsum nasi
    The length of the nose
  • The root
    The region of the nose located between the eyebrows
  • Philtrum
    The concave surface that connects the apex of the nose to the upper lip
  • ethmoid bone
    The nasal septum is formed posteriorly by the perpendicular plate of the
  • Nasopharynx
    Flanked by the conchae of the nasal cavity and serves only as an airway
  • fauces
    The opening at the connection between the oropharynx and the oral cavity
  • Uvula
    A small bulbous, teardrop-shape structure
  • epiglottis
    A very flexible piece of cartilage that covers the opening of the trachea
  • type 1 alveolar cell
    Squamous epithelial cell of the alveoli, which makes up 97% of the surface area
  • type 2 alveolar cell
    Secretes pulmonary surfactant
  • High; low
    Gas moves from an area of high partial pressure to an area of low partial pressure
  • internal respiration
    Gas exchange that occurs at the level of the tissue
  • The partial pressure of oxygen in the tissues is low because
  • Partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli is 104mmHg, whereas its partial pressure in the blood is about 40mmHg
    This causes oxygen to rapidly cross the respiratory membrane from alveoli into the blood
  • When oxygen binds to a hemoglobin molecule
    The affinity of the other hemoglobin molecules for oxygen increases
  • Which of the following factors play a role in the oxygen-hemoglobin saturation dissociation curve?
  • During the chloride shift
    Bicarbonate is removed from the erythrocyte
  • small intestine
    The organ of digestive tract where most digestion and absorption occurs
  • stomach
    The organ of the digestive tract where digestion of proteins is initiated
  • large intestine
    The primary function is to finish the absorption of the water and nutrients
  • mouth
    The organ of the digestive tract where digestion of starch is initiated
  • incisors
    The teeth responsible for slicing through food
  • molars
    The teeth responsible for grinding through food
  • muscularis
    The layer of the alimentary canal responsible for moving food through the canal
  • submucosa
    Includes blood and lymphatic vessels which transport absorbed nutrients
  • liver
    Bile is produced by the
  • cardiac sphincter
    Food passes from the esophagus to stomach at the
  • pyloric sphincter
    Food passes from the stomach to the small intestine at the
  • duodenum
    Secretions from the liver and pancreas enter the alimentary canal at the
  • small intestine
    In the, chemical digestion occurs not only in lumen, but also on the luminal surfaces of mucosal cells
  • parietal
    Cells of the gastric glands secrete HCL and intrinsic factor
  • During the gastric phase, distention of the stomach activates stretch receptors
    Which inhibits secretion of gastric juices
  • Pylorus
    Which holds about 30ml of chyme, acts as a filter, permitting only liquids and small food particles to pass to the small intestine
  • Fundus AND Body
    Cells of the produce most gastric secretions
  • lacteals
    Triglycerides in the lumen are absorbed by
  • Lingual lipase is activated in the stomach by
    HCL
  • The hormone, gastrin
  • Villi
    Hairlike vascularized projections of the small intestine are called
  • chief
    Cells of the gastric glands secrete pepsinogen
  • hepatic flexure
    The ascending colon terminates at the
