What do seminal vesicle ducts empty into?
The seminal vesicle ducts empty into the ejaculatory ducts. These ducts are formed by the merger of the seminal vesicle ducts and the vas deferens. The ejaculatory ducts then pass through the prostate gland and open into the urethra, contributing to the semen during ejaculation.
Which three organs does cystic fibrosis mainly affect?
Cystic fibrosis mainly affects the lungs, pancreas, and liver. In the lungs, it causes the production of thick mucus, leading to breathing difficulties and increased risk of infections. In the pancreas, it can obstruct the ducts, impairing digestion and nutrient absorption. In the liver, it can lead to liver disease and complications.
What type of gland has ducts?
Exocrine glands have ducts. Endocrine glands do not have ducts.
What is another name for small bile ducts?
Another name for small bile ducts are intrahepatic bile ducts. These ducts help carry bile from the liver cells to the larger bile ducts in the liver.
What is the problem at the cellular level that defects in the CFTR gene causes?
Defects in the CFTR gene cause dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. This leads to abnormal ion transport across cell membranes, particularly chloride ions, resulting in thickened mucus production in various organs. This thick mucus can block ducts and passages in the lungs, pancreas, and other organs, leading to the symptoms and complications associated with cystic fibrosis.
The common bile duct is formed by the connection of what two ducts?
The common bile duct is formed by the joining of the common hepatic duct (from the liver) and the cystic duct (from the gallbladder).
The production of copious thick and sticky mucus that accumulates and blocks glandular ducts is?
cystic fibrosis
What is the function of cystic ducts?
The cystic duct lies between the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Its' function is to transport bile from the gall bladder to the common bile duct.
What do seminal vesicle ducts empty into?
The seminal vesicle ducts empty into the ejaculatory ducts. These ducts are formed by the merger of the seminal vesicle ducts and the vas deferens. The ejaculatory ducts then pass through the prostate gland and open into the urethra, contributing to the semen during ejaculation.
What is the genetic disorder in which the lungs are clogged with large quantites of musus?
Cystic Fibrosis, a fatal genetic disorder in which excessive amounts of mucus are secreted, blocking intestinal and bronchial ducts and causing difficulty in breathing.
A fatal genetic disorder in which excessive amounts of mucus are secreted blocking intestinal and bronchial ducts and causing dificulty in breathing?
Cystic Fibrosis
Carries bile into the duodenum?
Bile is made in the liver and passes through bile ducts and into the common hepatic duct which carries it out of the liver. From here, it can pass down the common bile duct into the duodenum or take a detour into the gallbladder via the cystic duct.
What is the path of bile from its secretion to the gallbladder for storage and concentration and then to the duodenum listing the structures in order?
a. hepatocytes b. bile canaliculi c. bile ducts d. left & right hepatic ducts e. common hepatic duct f. cystic duct g. gallbladder h. cystic duct i. common hepatic duct j. hepatopancreatic ampulla k. duodenum
Does Cystic Fibrosis effect Reproduction?
Yes it can, the thick and viscous mucus can block the sperm ducts for example and can therefore lead to sterility, as the sperm cannot be released.
Do the lymph ducts and cistern chili are formed by the merging of many blood vessels?
False
What type of fastener is used for on-site assembly of metal ducts?
Sheet metal screws or rivets are commonly used as fasteners for on-site assembly of metal ducts. These fasteners provide a secure hold and are easy to install, making them ideal for joining metal ductwork together quickly and efficiently.
Which three organs does cystic fibrosis mainly affect?
