The initial stages of digestion through elimination

Before exploring the functions of the different cells and organs involved in digestion, you must first be able to use the vocabulary effectively. This activity asks you to place the correct terms into the appropriate sentences to complete the descriptions of the digestive processes, from the initial stages of digestion through elimination.

The layers of serous membrane

Critical Thinking
An arrow entered the left axillary region of a hunter and lodeed in his heart. List in order the layers of serous membrane the arrow would bave pierced. (Hint: You may want to sketch the arrow entering the thorax and the relative serous membranes.)
What anatomical plane of the body would be used, to illuxtrate the relative praitith iff the liver. stomach, and spinal column? transverse
What anatomical plane of the body would be used to illustrate the relative position of the urinary bladder, the stomach, and the liver?
In the textbook, you explored how important it is for the body to maintain homeostasis to avoid disease. What are some ways that the body maintains homeostasis? In the presence of disease, what are some examples of the body not maintaining homeostasis?
Case Study
A patient comes to the emergency room with an elevated heart rate and a low blood pressure that continues to fall. He is diagnosed as having a bleeding ulcer. The bleeding is stopped with medical intervention, and he is given a blood transfusion. His heart rate and blood pressure returned to normal. What homeostatic feedback mechanisms, if any, are evident in this situation?

The Rectus Femoris tendon

A 25-year-old professional football player sustains a tear of the Rectus Femoris. An X-Ray reveals that the Rectus Femoris tendon has torn off its proximal attachment (origin) and has taken a piece of its attachment with it. Which bony landmark is this injury most likely associated with?

Anatomical cavities

Anatomical cavities describe divisions or compartments of the body.
The layer of the membrane in contact with an organ is the layer. while the layer of

The Cunningham equation

A 20-year-old female soccer player who is 5’8” and weighs 150 lbs and is 18% body fat. She currently trains for around an hour a day with her usual activities of walking to class and around campus.
Calculate her total energy needs (TDEE) using all 3 equations discussed (Cunningham, Harris Benedict, and Mifflin St. Jeor). In order to calculate using the Cunningham equation, please use the body fat given and find total lean body mass in kilograms. Once you calculate RMR, choose an appropriate activity factor to find total energy needs using each equation. How do these differ between the 3?

Decreased circulating levels of cholesterol

Herry tells her physician that she has been restless and irritable lately. Sherry has a hard time sleeping and complains of diarrhoea and shortness of breath. During the examination, her physician noticed a higher-than-normal heart rate and decreased circulating levels of cholesterol.

The lumen of kidney tubules

A kidney specimen is presented at medium power and intentionally presented in grey scale without colour to test your skill in critical observation of structure. Identify the tissue that lines the spaces (lumen of kidney tubules) that are indicated by blue triangles. They are all lined with the same type of fissue.

Intercalated discs desmosomes contract gap junctions

Intercalated discs desmosomes contract gap junctions. Cardiocytes are connected by structures called Intercalated discs. They include fascia adherents, actin and myosin filaments attached to plasma membranes, and weld-like structures called the cytoplasms between adjacent cells, which are connected and permit ions to pass from one cell to the next. The movement of ions between adjacent cells is exceptionally important as it allows all cardiocytes in a chamber wall to depolarize and subsequently simultaneously.

The deep tendon reflexes

A 24 year old man is brought to the physician because of a 3 day hsitory of progressive numbness of both feet that now has ascended to the level of his thighs. In the last 24 hours, he has developed numbness and tingling of his hands. Physical examination shows an ataxic gait. Deep tendon reflexes are diminished in the upper extremities and absent at the knees and ankles. Sensation to vibration and joint position is abent in the fingertips and feet bilaterally. There is mild weakness of the distal upper extremities and moderate weakness of the lower extremities. A process involving which of the following structures is the most likley explanation for these sensory findings? 1. Dorsal spinocerebellar tract 2. Faciculus cuneatus 3. Faciculus gracilis 4. Myelinated primary afferents 5. Unmyelinated primary afferents 6. Ventral spinocerebellar tract
