phys final 3rd qtr

Stack #90632

QuestionAnswer
3 main plasma proteins fibrinogen, globulins, albumin
fibrinogen plasma protein for clotting
globulin plasma protein for antibodies
albumin plasma protein for blood viscosity, most abundant plasma protein
Organ that makes plasma proteins Liver
organ that makes thrombopoetin liver
function of thrombopoetin stimulates platelet production
EPO made by kidney, stimulates RBC production
average blood volume in an adult 5L
RBC transports O2 via... the "hem" portion of hemoglobin, binds to iron
megakaryocyte fragments into a platelet (thrombocyte)
3 types of lymphocytes B-cell, T-cell, NK (Natural Killer)
B-cell Binds to soluble antigens and break them into fragments via endocytosis
T-Cells cell mediated,
What type of cell determines blood type and why RBC - proteins on surface
Valve between left atria & Left Ventricle Bicuspid/Mitral
When ventricles contract... valves close to prevent backflow of blood
SA node pacemaker of the heart
SA node location Upper Right atria
Contraction Systole
stretch heart first & it will contract with greater force (ie fill it to capacity) Starlings law of the heart
Epinephrine sympathetic neurotransmitter that increases heartrate
ACH Parasympathetic neurotransmitter that slows heartbeat
Starlings Law of Capillaries Arteriole end filters, venous end reabsorbs nearly equally, rest is picked up by lymphatic system and back to CV system
R. lympantic vessel and left thoracic duct dump into which vessel Subclavian vein
2 ways to effect resistance to blood flow viscosity of blood & diameter of tube
viscosity of blood slows blood flow, BP goes up, heart pumps harder
diameter of vessels smaller diameter = slower flow = higher BP = heart works harder
Barrow receptors stretch receptors in arteries
Cardiovascular center located in... Medulla Oblongata
Barrow receptors send signals to... Cardiovascular center of brain
primary lymph organs Thymus & Bone marrow
Secondary lymph organs spleen, lymph nodes, pyers patches
pyers patches in sm. intestines
cell infected by virus secrets... interferon
interferon secreted by infected cell to protect cells around it
B cell changes to a ... and makes ... plasma cell / antibodies
Antibodies most effective to... body fluids - blood, lymph
Killer T Cells effective on intracellular viruses and bacteria / destroys cells
opsinization coating cells with antibody to attract phagocytic cells
as the diaphragm contracts chest cavity expands & pressure drops causing air to rush in - inhalation
most of CO2 transported in blood as... bicarbs in plasma
2ndary transport of CO2 on ... globin
accessory organs of digestion liver, pancreas, gallbladder
cephalic phase of digestion thinking, seeing, smelling, tasting,
pepsin digests protein
amalyase digests starch
lipase digests fat
protein waste product amonia
Amonia converted to... urea & shipped to kidney
most nutrients absorbed in... sm. intestine
lg intestine absorbs... water
functional unit of kidney nephron
renal corpuscle bowmans capsule & glomulerulus
aldosterone causes kidney tubules to be more permiable to sodium - raises BP, raises blood volume, potassium out
ADH makes kidney tubules more permiable to water
1-2 Litres urine output per day
filtrate filtered blood
filtrate contains everything but protein, RBC & WBC
muscularis musclular wall of the GI tract
peristalsis pushes food thru tube
segmentation mixes chyme & digestive juices in Sm. Intestines
Haustration in colon, Haustras
Primary digestion in stomach protein - because of the acid environment
gallstones made of... chrystalized cholesterol
action of bile emulsify fats
chyme liquid stomach contents
transport fat lymphatic system
lacteals lympahtic capillaries in sm. intestines
