Question
Answer
Neutrophil   50-70%, phagocytosis  
🗑
Eosinophils   2-4%, detoxify foreign substances, secrete enzymes that dissolve clots, fight parasitic infections  
🗑
Basophils   less than 1%, release anticoagulant heparin  
🗑
Lymphocytes   20-30%, provides specific immune response, including antibodies  
🗑
Monocytes   2-8%, Phagocytosis  
🗑
Eupnea   normal respiratory rate & depth, normal total minute volume exchange  
🗑
Apnea   temporary cessation of breathing  
🗑
hyperventilation   increased ventilate rate does not match metabolic needs, caused by sympathetic nervous system & results in decreased co2 and increased pH  
🗑
hyperpnea   increased total minute volume during exercise, blood co2 levels do not change because increased ventilation matches metabolic demands  
🗑
anoxia   deprivation of oxygen to the point of tissue dammage  
🗑
tachypnea   excessive or rapid breathing rate, not associated with metabolic demands  
🗑
hypercapnia   excessive concentration of carbon dioxide in blood  
🗑
dyspnea   subjective difficulty in breathing  
🗑
asphyxia   unconsciousness or death resulting from lack of oxygen  
🗑
Vital capacity   total amount of air forcibily exhaled following maximal inhalation  
🗑
total lung capacity   total amount of air in lungs after a maximal forced inspiration  
🗑
inspiratory capacity   total amount of air that can be forcibly inspired  
🗑
functional residual capacity   volume of gas remmaining within lungs after a normal tidal expiration  
🗑
Rhythmicity center   loose aggregation of neurons in reticular formation of the medulla, controls autonomic breathing  
🗑
apneustic center   promote sinspiration by stimulating the neurons in medulla  
🗑
pneumotaxic center   antagonizes the apneustic center & inhibits inspiration  
🗑
pulse pressure   systole- diastole  
🗑
mean arterial pressure   diastolic + 1/3 pulse pressure  
🗑
chronotropic   rate  
🗑
inotropic   contraction  
🗑
cholinergic   related to ach  
🗑
adrenergic   receptors activated by epinephrine  
🗑
agonistic   type of drug that binds and alters activity of a receptor  
🗑
antagonistic   consequence of one chemical counteracting the effects of another, blocks or opposes  
🗑
sympathomimetic drug   mimics epinephrine and dopamine  
🗑
parasympathomimetic drug   mimics ach, pilocarpine & nicotine  
🗑
parasympatholytic drug   blocks parasympathetic activity, so speeds up, atropine  
🗑
hyperkalemia   elevated potassium  
🗑
