The only digestive function of the liver is the production of 


 Bile enters
the small bile ducts, called bile „

 on the liver cells, which unite to

bile out of the liver. The hepatic duct unites with the

The blood in the pulmonary capillaries, which has just come from the body,
has a low PO2 and a high PCO2. Therefore, in external respiration, oxygen
diffuses from the air in the alveoli to the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses
from the blood to the air in the alveoli. The blood that returns to the heart
now has a high PO2 and a low PCO2 and is pumped by the left ventricle
into systemic circulation. P. 355

The kidneys form urine from blood plasma. Blood flow through the kidneys

filtration-takes place from the gomerulus to Bowman¶s capsule. Filtration is
not selective in terms of usefulness of materials; it is selective only in terms
of size. High blood pressure in the glomeruli forces plasma, dissolved
materials, and small proteins into Bowman's capsules; the fluid is now
called renal filtrate.c

Filtration is selective only in terms of size; blood cells and large proteins
remain in the blood.c

GFR is 100 to 125 mL per minute. Increased blood flow to the kidney
increase GFR; decreased blood flow decreases GFR.c

31. What are the steps in > „ 


 „ æ

Hypothalamus contains osmoreceptors that detect changes in the


osmolarity (concentration of dissolved materials present) of body fluids.c

Dehydration raises the osmolarity of the blood (less water in proportion to


the amount of dissolved materials).c

Hypothalamus is also involved in water balance because of its production


of ADH which is stored in the posterior pituitary gland.c

During dehydration, hypothalamus stimulates the release of ADH which will


increase the reabsorption of water by the kidney tubules.c

Hormone   „ from the adrenal cortex helps regulate water output
by increasing the reabsorption of Na+ ions by the kidney tubules and water
from the renal filtrate follows the Na+ ions back to the blood.c

Water intoxication (too much water in the body) by over-consumption of


fluids, symptoms include dizziness, abdominal cramps, nausea and
lethargy and possible convulsions. Handout Chapter 19
32. The 
   is the sequence of events in one heartbeat. The
purpose of the cardiac cycle is to effectively pump blood. The 
  
(low pressure system) delivers deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Here
oxygen is picked up and carbon dioxide is breathed off. The   (high
pressure system) delivers oxygenated blood to the body (systematic
circulation).
The heart beats in two synchronized stages. First, the RA and LA contract
(systole) at the same time pumping blood into the RV and LV. Then the mitral
and tricuspid valves close. A split second later, the ventricles contract (beat)
simultaneously to pump blood out of the heart. Together, these coordinated
contractions produce the familiar ³lub-dub´ sound of a heart beat²slightly
faster than once a second. After contracting, the heart muscles momentarily
relax (diastole), allowing blood to refill the heart.

1. During atrial diastole, blood from the superior vena cavae and the coronary
sinus enters the RA right atrium.

2. RA right atrium fills and distends, pushing the tricuspid valve open and the
RV fills.

3. Same sequence occurs a split second earlier in the left side, LA receives
blood from the 4 pulmonary veins (2 from the right lung and 2 from the left),
leaflets of the mitral valve open as the left atrium (LA) fills and blood flows in
the LV left ventrivle.

Ventricles are 70% filled before the atrial contraction and an additional 30%
during atrial contraction.

4. Ventricular systole occurs as atrial diastole begins.

As ventricles contracts, blood is propelled through the systemic and


pulmonary circulation and toward the atria.

5. The SL semilunar valves close and the heart then begins a period of
ventricular diastole during which the ventricles begin to passively fill with blood
and both atria and ventricles are relaxed.

Semilunar valves: pulmonic and aortic valves prevent backlow of blood from
the aorta and pulmonary arteries into the ventricles during diastole.

As the heart    dark red blood returning from the body flows into the
right atrium (RA). This blood is deoxygenated from the superior vena cava
(from the head and upper extremities), inferior vena cava (from the lower
body) and the coronary sinus (from the intracardiac circulation) and is laden
with carbon dioxide, which is produced by body tissues. When the RA
contracts, it propels oxygen-poor blood through the tricuspid valve into the
RV. In turn, the RV pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. From there, it
flows into the lungs where it picks up oxygen and returns to the  

+!,'+ „   blood from the lungs) via right and left  „
„.
When it contracts, the LA pumps the now bright red oxygenated blood through
the mitral valve into the LV, which pumps it into the aorta, from which it is
distributed to other arteries to nourish cells, tissues, and organs. Then the
cycle begins again. P. 277,278, 279, Chapter 12 ± handout.

0 1   & 

The circulation is driven by the movement of blood generated by the events


of the cardiac cycle.

1. The right atrium receives deoxygenated blood from the body tissues
2. The right ventricle then pumps the blood into the pulmonary artery
3. Oxygenated blood returns to the pulmonary veins.
4. The left ventricle then pumps a volume of blood into the aorta.

The system of blood vessels that carries blood to the lungs and back is
called the  „
  
„. All other blood vessels in the body are
collectively known as the  

  
„. The 
 „
 
   ( 

„
   ) prevent backflow of blood during
ventricular „ 
„+ ). The 
and  „ valves open
during systole, then close during diastole to prevent backflow of blood. In
the following sequence, the heart fills with blood, excitation of the cardiac
muscle occurs and the ventricles contract to expel a single stroke volume
into the circulation.

%   


 
     - the atria continually receive
blood from the veins; as pressure within the atria increases, the AV valves
are opened. Two-thirds of the atrial blood flows passively into the
ventricles; atrial contraction pumps the remaining blood into the ventricles;
the atria then relax. The ventricles contract, which closes the AV valves
and opens the aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves. Ventricular
contraction pumps all blood into the arteries. The ventricles then relax.
Meanwhile, blood is filling the atria, and the cycle begins again. Systole
means contraction; diastole means relaxation. In the cardiac cycle, atrial
systole is followed by ventricular systole. When the ventricles are in
systole, the atria are in diastole. The mechanical events of the cardiac
cycle keep blood moving from the veins through the heart and into the
arteries. P. 287
