TermDefinition
SELF-TOLERANCE THE ABILITY OF OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM TO ATTACK ABNORMAL OR FORGEIN CELLS BUT SPARE OUR OWN NORMAL CELLS
SYSTOLIC BLOOD PRESSURE FORCE OF THE BLOOD PUSHING AGAINST THE ARTERY WALLS WHILE VENTRICLES ARE CONTRACTING
OPSONIZATION PROCESS THAT MARKS CELLS FOR DESTRUCTION BY PHAGOCYTES BY COMPLEMENTS ACTING AS OSPONINS
VISCERAL PAIN DULL OR ACHING PAIN THAT DEVELOPS MORE SLOWLY OVER TIME AND TRAVELS OVER B FIBERS
TROPIC HOROMONES HOROMONES THAT TARGET OTHER ENDOCRINE GLANDS AND STIMULATE THEIR GROWTH
AVEOLI sacs that serve as gas exchangers; all other parts of the respiratory system serve as air distributors
CLEFT PALATE condition in which the palatine bones fail to unite completely and only partially separate the nose and the mouth, thereby producing difficulty swallowing
Spermatogenesis formation of mature male gametes (spermatozoa) by seminiferous tubules; stimulated by follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary (and also GnRH from hypothalamus)
B-CELL MECHANISMS antibody-mediated immunity (humoral immunity); produce antibodies that attack pathogens
IgG makes up 75% of antibodies in the blood; predominant anti-body of the secondary antibody response
ARTERY carries blood away from heart; includes great vessels aorta, pulmonary trunk (splits into two pulmonary arteries), and coronary arteries from cardiac muscle
Atrioventricular (AV) valves prevent blood from flowing back into the atria from the ventricles when the ventricles contract
HEMODYNAMICS collection of mechanisms that influence the dynamic (active and changing) circulation of blood
CARDIAC OUTPUT (CO) volume of blood pumped out of the heart per unit of time (ml/min or L/min)
