Question
Answer
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  
🗑
