|
what is tension pneumothorax?
|

|
|
name the three sites and phases to the regulation of gastric secretions
|
brain - cephalic phase
stomach - gastric phase intestine - intestinal phase |
|
name the two parts of the nephron
|
the glomerulus
renal tubule |
|
which areas of the brain are responsible for the cephalic phase of gastric secretion?
|
cortex
hypothalamus vagal nuclei in medulla |
|
what collects the filtrate from the glomerular capillaries?
|
Bowman's capsule
|
|
when is the gastric phase initiated?
|
when food reaches the stomach
|
|
what structures would you find wrapped around the nephron and what is their function?
|
peritubular capillaries
they reabsorb substances from the filtrate |
|
low acidity and peptides in the stomach will do what?
|
excite the secretion of gastrin
|
|
what are the three layers of the glomerular membrane?
|
1. endothelial layer (inside capillary)
2. basement membrane (collagen and proteoglycans) 3. epithelial layer (forms podocytes) |

|
gastrin
|
|
which three forces move fluid out of the glomerulus into Bowman's capsule?
|
glomerular hydrostatic pressure
blood colloid osmotic pressure capsular hydrostatic pressure |
|
what are the two components to the intestinal phase of gastric secretion?
|
excitation
inhibition |
|
which three fluids are involved in clearing wastes out of the body?
|
blood
glomerular filtrate urine |
|
describe the excitation part of the intestinal phase of gastric secretion

|
|
name the three processes involved in urine formation
|
glomerular filtration
tubular reabsorption tubular secretion |
|
describe the inhibition part of the intestinal phase of gastric secretion
