Excretory System Review Main Concepts: Describe the major gross anatomical structures of the excretory system. Kidneys: receive about 25% of the cardiac output; produce urine (a fluid containing water‚ ions‚ and small soluble compounds) Ureters: receive urine from the kidneys and conduct it to the urinary bladder.

17.1 Genes specify proteins via transcription and translation * George Beadle and Edward Tatum worked together with mutated (Neurospora crass) bread mold to figure out that they were missing a specific enzyme (gene) that catalyzed and synthesized a pathway required. They concluded that they were missing that enzyme because it was lacking the amino acid that coded for the enzyme‚ thus was mutated and incapable of growing. Led to the one enzyme-one gene hypothesis. The Products of Gene Expression:

Plants have two separate transport systems. A network of xylem vessels transports water and mineral ions from the roots to all other parts of the plant. Phloem tubes transport food made in the leaves to all other parts of the plant. Neither of these systems has a pump‚ this is because they are not as active as animals and do not need such rapid supplies of food. Neither xylem nor phloem transports oxygen as oxygen gets to a plants cell by diffusion. Both stems and roots contain xylem vessels and

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) lines are soft thin flexible tubing that are used for several different treatments. This lines are used for treatments such as giving intravenous medications and blood test. These lines are much different than any other; however‚ due to the fact that they cannot be inserted by any nurse. These lines must be inserted by a nurse who has had specialty training or a doctor. Both of these people must use a machine called an ultrasound to find the veins in

called the pancreatic duct. The narrow end of the pancreas‚ called the tail‚ extends to the left side of the body. 2. Describe the functional anatomy of the duct system that conveys bile from the liver and digestive juice from the pancreas to the lumen of the duodenum. - When the liver cells secrete bile‚ it is collected by a system of ducts that flow from the liver through the right and left hepatic ducts. These ducts ultimately drain into the common hepatic duct. The common hepatic duct then joins
