◉ Pituitary Gland. Answer: This is the most complex organ in the
endocrine system that is found in the center of the head. It affects
almost every physiologic process of the body: growth, blood
pressure, contractions during childbirth, breast-milk production,
sexual organ functions, thyroid gland functions and the conversion
of food into energy(metabolism).
◉ Plasma. Answer: The fluid part of the blood and lymph that
carries food and secretions to the cells and carbon dioxide from the
cells.
◉ Platelets. Answer: These are much smaller than red blood cells
and contribute to the blood clotting process. Also known as
thrombocytes.
◉ Origin. Answer: A part of the muscle that does not move. It is the
more fixed part of the muscle closest to the skeleton, which flexes
but does not move.
, ◉ Platysma. Answer: A broad muscle that extends from the chest
and shoulder muscles to the sides of the chin. It is responsible for
lowering the lower jaw and lip.
◉ Posterior Auricular Nerve. Answer: A branch of the seventh
cranial nerve that affects the muscles behind the ear at the base of
the skull.
◉ Pancreas. Answer: This organ secretes enzyme-producing cells
that are responsible for digesting carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
The isle of Langerhans cells within this organ control insulin and
glucagon production.
◉ Peripheral Nervous System. Answer: The system of nerves and
ganglia that connects the outer parts of the body to the central
nervous system. It has both sensory and motor nerves.
◉ Peristalsis. Answer: Involuntary waves of muscle contraction that
keep food moving along in one direction through the digestive
system.
◉ Procerus. Answer: Covers the bridge of the nose, lowers the
eyebrows, and causes wrinkles across the bridge of the nose.
