Secondary sex organs & principal functions
- vagina
- external genitalia
- uterine tube
- uterus
- mammary glands
functions: fertilization of ovum, implantation, development of embryo, parturition
Average intraocular pressure
12-20 mm Hg
Nuclei of cranial nerves in pons
V, VI, VII
Components of ANS
Sympathetic NS
Parasympathetic NS
Enteric plexus
Important structural difference between sympathetic and parasympathetic NS
Sympathetic nerve fibers pass through the sympathetic chain and then to organs
Parasympathetic postganglionic neurons are in the organs itself
Enlargements of spinal cord
Cervical enlargement
Lumbosacral enlargement
Hormones of the placenta
- human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) --> present until week 6, suppresses follicle maturation, maintains production of estrogen and progesterone in corpus luteum
- human placental lactogen (hPL) --> stimulates mammary enlargement and lactogenesis
- estrogens
- progesteron
Types of hormones
- Releasing hormones (RH)
- Inhibiting hormones (IH, -statin)
- Glandotrope hormones (-tropin)
- Somatotrope/effector hormones
Function of renin
thirst reflex
Procedures to determine GFR
- inulin clearance
- creatine clearance
Protection of CNS by
- bony encasement
- meninges
- cerebrospinal fluid
Hormone of the pineal gland
Melatonin
Phases of gastric juice secretion
Chepalic (reflex), local (gastric) & intestinal phase
Compostition of bile
bile salts, bilirubin, cholesterol
Types of receptors
Chemoreceptors (chemical compounds)
Thermoreceptors (temperature)
Nocireceptors (pain)
Mechanoreceptors (compression/stretching)
Electromagnetc receptors (light)
Hormone of the parathyroid gland
Parathyroid hormone
Effects of CKK on gallbladder
- gallbladder contraction
- relaxation of sphincter of Oddi
Three spaces of the eye
Anterior chamber, posterior chamber, vitreous body
Hyperthyroidism, Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism: thyroid tumor of diffuse struma --> overproduction of thyroid hormones, independent of TSH
Hypothyroidism: to much TSH --> thyroid enlargement (goiter) --> thyroid hormone defficiency --> low metabolism
Amount of sensory cells in a taste bud
50-100
Cranial nerves
I: Olfactory nerve
II: Optic nerve
III: Oculomotor nerve
IV: Trochlear nerve
V: Trigeminal nerve
VI: Abducens nerve
VII: Facial nerve
VIII: Vestibulocochlear nerve
IX: Glossopharyngeal nerve
X: Vagus nerve
XI: Accessory nerve
XII: Hypoglossal nerve
Parts of the colon
ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid
ascending & descending parts are retroperitoneal
Conditions due to vitamin deficiencies
A: night blindness
C: scurvy
D: rickets
B12: anemia
K: coagulation disorders
Parts of mesencephalon
red nucleus, substantia nigra (basal ganglia of the midbrain)
Locations of progesterone synthesis
- corpus luteum
- ovarian follicles
- placenta
- adrenal cortex
Functions of thyroid hormones
- increase number of mitochondria
- increase Na+-K+-ATPase activity --> more energy turnover, rise in O2 consumption & heat production
- influence efficacy of other hormones
- stimulation of growth & maturation
CSF flows from fourth ventricle to...
subarachnoid space
Components of a reflex arch
receptor, sensory neuron, center, motor neuron, effector
Volume of daily glomerular filtration
170 l
Which types of hormones act intracellular?
steroid and thyroid hormones
Connection between third and fourth ventricle of ventricular system
cerebral aqueduct
Which cranial nerve goes through the midbrain?
Oculomotor nerve (III)
Amount of fluid remained in feces
~ 0.1 l
Nuclei of cranial nerves in medulla oblongata
VIII, IX, X, XI, XII
Three layers (tunics) of the eyeball
Outside layer = fibrous tunic
Middle layer = vascular tunic
Inside layer = internal tunic
Blood supply to stomach
celiac artery
Structures of fibrous tunic
sclera (posteriorly)
cornea (anteriorly)
conjunctiva (anteriorly)
Parts of oral cavity
Separated into: vestibulum, inner cavity
Continues with oropharynx
Parts: palatopharyngeal arch, palatoglossal arch, palatine tonsils, uvula
Name of open ended portion of uterine tube
infundibulum (with fimbriae attached)
Hormones of the adrenal medulla
Epinephrine and norepinephrine
