Fiftratffln Filtration is aecomplished by the movement of fluids from the blood into the Bowman’s capsule. Beabsorpttort Reatuorptias wolves the selective transfer of essential solutes and water back into the blood. Secretion Secretion Involves the movement of wastes from the blood into the mphron. 1. Filtration The renal artery carries blood into the kidney

6 primary functions of digestive system: 1. Ingestion- food intake 2. Secretion 3. Digestion- mechanical & chemical breakdown of food Mechanical Mastication- first step. Enables mixing with saliva to form bolus to be swallowed. Regulated by CNS. Deglutition Mixing/Churning Peristalsis- movement of muscles within GI tract that facilitates movement of food Chemical- Hydrolysis (using H2O) of macromolecules into monomers (residues) carried out by digestive enzymes produced by salivary glands

An example of chronic hormone secretion would be TSH. TSH is in everyone’s body. IF TSH levels in one’s body becomes out of normal range‚ this can cause thyroid disorders. Acute hormone secretion occurs when there is a disturbance in the hormone’s concentration and levels differentiate with stimulation. Example of acute hormone secretion would be the release of epinephrine in the body. For example‚ if a person is afraid of lightning

function is made up of approximately a million[3] cell clusters called islets of Langerhans. Four main cell types exist in the islets. They are relatively difficult to distinguish using standard staining techniques‚ but they can be classified by their secretion: α cells secrete glucagon (increase glucose in blood)‚ β cells secrete insulin (decrease glucose in blood)‚ delta cells secrete somatostatin (regulates/stops α and β cells)‚ and PP cells or gamma cells‚ secrete pancreatic polypeptide.[4] The islets

occurs is due to an increase in colonic fluid volume in the intestines. The increase in colonic fluid is a result of three physiologic mechanisms‚ which include active secretion‚ osmosis‚ and faulty water reabsorption. Two of three etiologies of diarrhea occur mainly in the small intestine: active secretion and osmosis. Active secretion pertains to bacterial invasions such as Vibrio cholerae‚ toxins‚ irritants‚ and excess bile and fat. According to Dr. Bharucha‚ diarrhea that’s caused by food poising

Conective tissues are cells that are suspended in a matrix of their own secretions. Muscle tissue -Muscle cells form the active contractile tissue of the body known as muscle tissue. Muscle tissue functions to produce force and cause motion‚ either locomotion or movement within internal organs. Muscle tissue is separated into
