Question
Answer
Aquired Immunodeficiency Syndrom   AID's caused by HIV  
🗑
Adenoids   paired lymphoid structures in the nasopharynx  
🗑
Aneurysm   abnormal widening of the arterial wall  
🗑
Arteries   vessel carrying blood away from the heart  
🗑
Arterioles   small branch of an artery  
🗑
Artificial Active Immunity   intentional exposure to the causative agent, such as an vaccination, by individual's own immune system responds to a harmful agent  
🗑
Autoimmune Condition   process in which a person's immune system attacks the person's own body tissue  
🗑
Blood flow through the vessels   aorta-arteries(to tissues and organ)-arterioles-capillaries(out of organ cap beds by venules to veins to inf/sup vena cava)-right atruim-right ventricle-pulmonary artery-lung arterioles-capillaries-lung venules-4 pulmonary veins-left atrium-left ventricle  
🗑
Capillaries   tiny vessels that connect to arterioles and venules  
🗑
Causes of decreased blood pressure   blood loss (hemorrhage) diuretics- drugs that promote water loss by increasing urine output to treat hypertension decrease in heart output decrease in heart rate low blood viscosity relaxed muscles of blood vessel wall  
🗑
Cisterna Chyli   an enlarged pouch on the thoracic duct that serves as a storage area for lymph moving toward it's point of entry into the venous system  
🗑
Complement Cascade   rapid-fire series of chemical reactions involving proteins called complements triggered by certain antibody-agtigen reactions and resulting in the formation of tiny protein rings that create holes in a foreign cell thus cause it's destruction  
🗑
Contact Dermatitis   a local skin inflammation that lasts a few hours or days and is initiated by the skin being exposed to an antigen  
🗑
Ductus Arteriosus   connects the aorta and the pulmonary artery, allowing most blood to bypass the fetus's developing lungs  
🗑
Ductus Venosus   a continuation of the umbilical vein that shunts blood returning from the placenta past the fetus's developing liver directly into the inferior vena cava  
🗑
Elephantiasis   extreme lymphedema in the limbs caused by a parasitic worm infestation  
🗑
Foramen Ovale   shunts blood from the right atrium directly into the left atrium allowing most blod to bypass the baby's developing lungs  
🗑
Gangrene   tissue death that involves decay of tissue  
🗑
Hepatic Portal Circulation   the route of blood flow through the liver  
🗑
Hodgkin Disease   typer of lymphoma characterized by painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, progressing to other regions  
🗑
Hypertension Risk Factors   high stress levels obesity calcium deficiencies high levels of alcohol and caffine intake smoking lack of exercise  
🗑
Ischemia   reduced flow of blood to tissue resulting in impairment of cell function  
🗑
Isoimmunity   immune response to antigens of another human  
🗑
Lacteals   a lymphatic vessel located in each villus of the intesine, serves to absorb fat materials from the chyme passing thorugh the small intestine  
🗑
Lymph node/Function   performs biological filtration of lymph on its way to the circulatory system  
🗑
Lymphadenitis   inflammation of a lypmh node, usually caused by a bacterial infection or occasionally a neoplasm and characterized by swelling and tenderness  
🗑
Lymphangitis   inflammation of lypmh vessels, usually caused by a infection characterized by fine red streaks extending from the site of infection; may progress to septicemia  
🗑
Natural Active Immunity   exposure to the causative agent is not deliberat by individual's own immune system responds to harmful agents  
🗑
Natural Passive Immunity   exposure to the causative agent is not deliberate, immunity developed in an other individual or animal and transferred  
🗑
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma   type of lymphoma characterized by swelling of lymph nodes and progressing to other areas  
🗑
Pharyngeal Tonsils   adenoids, paired lymphoid structures in the nasopharynx  
🗑
Phelbitis   inflammation of a vein  
🗑
Pulse Locations   superficial temporal artery facial artery carotid artery brachial artery radial artery femoral artery popliteal (posterior to knee) [posterior tibial dorsalis pedis  
🗑
Right Lymphatic Duct   25% of body drains to it lymph from the right upper extremity and from right side of the head, neck, and upper torso flow into it  
🗑
Spleen   largest lymphoid organ; filters blood, destorys worn-out red blood cells, salvages iron from hemoglobin, and serves as blood reservoir  
🗑
Stroke   results from ischemia of brain tissue caused by an embolism or ruptured aneurysm  
🗑
Structure that carries oxygen rich blood form the mother to the body   placenta  
🗑
Structure/Veins   tunic externa-connective tissue fibers(outer most layer) tunica media- smooth muscle tissue(middle layer) tunica intima- endothelial cells(inner layer)  
🗑
Systemic circulation starts   left ventricle  
🗑
T-Lymphocytes   cells that are critical to the function of the immune system, produce cell-mediated immunity  
🗑
Thoracic Duct   largest lymphatic vessel in the body  
🗑
Thymus   small lymphoid tissue organ located in the mediastinum, extending upward in the midline of the neck  
🗑
Types of Shock & Possible Causes   Cardigenic shock-any heart failure Hypovolemic shock-loss of blood volume in blood vessels Neurogenic shock-widespread dilation of blood vessel Anaphylatic shock-acute allergic reaction Septic shock-complications of septicemia  
🗑
Urticaria   an allergic or hypersensitivity response characterized by raised red lesions (hives)  
🗑
Varicous Vein   enlarged vein in which blood pools  
🗑
Venules   small blood vessels that collect blood from the capillaries and join to form veins  
🗑
