Question
Answer
purpose of excretory system?   functions to rid the body of nitrogenous waste  
🗑
where does nitogenous waste come from   metabolic breakdown of proteins and amino acids  
🗑
where does body convert ammnia to urea   conversion occurs in liver  
🗑
how does material move from the circulatory system to the excretory system?   blood circulates throughout the body, and pressure forces small molecules to leave the ciruculatory system and enter the excretory system  
🗑
where does material move from circulatory to excretory system?   occurs between glomerulus and Bowmans capsule. this is called filtration  
🗑
how does ADH work?   makes the collection duct of the nephron unit more permeable to water, which allows more water for reabsorption.  
🗑
non-specific defenses   called innate; almost always present at birth and are not activated by a specific substance, nor confer a long term immunitiy  
🗑
specific defenses   defenses aquired and confer long-term immunity to a specific antigen  
🗑
what are some innate defenses to keep pathogens from entering body   skin. Lysozymes present in mucous, saliva and sweat, and tears  
🗑
3 types of lymphocytes   1. Natural Killer Cells2. t-cells.3. B-cells  
🗑
how do NKCs differ from T-cells and B-cells   NKCs have a different lineage of differentiation; part of innate defense  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action employed by NKCS   NKCs attach to pathogenic cells and release cytotoxic chemicals, such as perforin. (causes cells to lyse)  
🗑
What are phagocytic cells?   engulf material  
🗑
example of phagocytic cells   macrophage; big eater  
🗑
what is interferon?   protein produced by virally infected cells.  
🗑
what is complement system   group of over 20 proteins that act in tandem with other defense mechnisms. work with both specific and non specific defenses  
🗑
what is an antibody   remember specific antigens, once generated, antibodies respond rapidly to subsequent exposures to an antigen  
🗑
what is antigen   are substances that trigger formation of antibodies by immune system  
🗑
passive immunity   an ind. recieves anitbodies ( mother to child)  
🗑
active immunity   ind. generates antibodies after exposeure to antigen (becoming infected with flu)  
🗑
B-cells   develop in bone marrow and have humoral activity  
🗑
with T-cells and B-cells originate where?   bone marrow  
🗑
T cells   develop in thymus and have cell-mediated activity  
🗑
Killer t-cells   cytotoxic activity  
🗑
help t- cells   stimulate and activate both t and b cells  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
