Human Phys 3

QuestionAnswer
Choose all of the cells that refer to lymphocytes. T cells. neutrophils. B cells. NK cells. basophils. eosinophils. T cells, B cells, NK cells
Choose all of the cells that refer to polymorphonuclear granulocytes: T cells. neutrophils. B cells. basophils. NK cells. eosinophils. neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils
Choose all of the cells that function as phagocytes: T cells. macrophage. B cells. neutrophils. eosinophils. monocyte. macrophage, neutrophils, monocyte
Polymorphonuclear granulocytes are part of innate immunity. true or false true
Adaptive immunity is based on broad characteristics and patterns that many viruses or bacteria display on their surface. true or false false
What is the definition of a phagocyte? It degranulates to kill antigen. It recognizes antigen by strain-specific markers. It "eats" antigen by engulfing it and then fusing it with a lysosome. All of these answers are correct. It "eats" antigen by engulfing it and then fusing it with a lysosome.
which defines plasma cell? makes antibodies antigen-presenting cell destroys multicellular parasites not cells, but proteins with bacteria and virus killing capabilities makes antibodies
which defines dendritic cell? makes antibodies antigen-presenting cell destroys multicellular parasites not cells, but proteins with bacteria and virus killing capabilities antigen-presenting cell
which defines eosinophil? makes antibodies antigen-presenting cell destroys multicellular parasites not cells, but proteins with bacteria and virus killing capabilities destroys multicellular parasites
which defines complement? not cells, but proteins with bacteria and virus killing capabilities
define immunity recognition of what is self and what is not self. defense against foreign invaders. ex. cancer cells, transplant organs
what are the components of the immune system? cells & organs, cytokines, complement, antibodies
what are the 2 types of immunity? adaptive and innate
define mast cells found in connective tissues & in skin, important in wound healing & inflammatory response
define cytokines chemicals & messenger of the immune system
define leukopenia too few WBCs (AIDS)
define leukocytosis too many WBCs (infection)
define high neutrophils bacterial infection
define high lymphocytes viral infection
what are innate responses? general defense...attack invaders based on general properties -involve defense on body surfaces (skin, hair, mucus, etc.) and inflammation
what 2 cells do innate responses involve? neutrophils and macrophages
what are adaptive responses? body produces antibodies to a specific antigen
what cells do adaptive responses involve? lymphocytes (B cells, T cells, NK cells)
define hyperemia increased blood flow to wounded areas
what is capillarity permeability? when fluid, cells, & proteins leak out from blood vessels to injured tissue (area becomes red, swollen, & has warm pus deposition)
Steps of inflammation? 1) mast cells (tissue basophils) & damaged tissue cells release histamine and others that cause hyperemia and increase in capillarity permeability 2)chemotaxis 3)diapedesis 4)colony-stimulating factors 5)phagocytosis 6)complement 7)tissue repair
define chemotaxis injured tissue release chemicals that draw phagocytes to area
define diapedesis neutrophils and phagocytes squeeze through endothelial cells to reach site of infection
define colony-stimulating factors released by damaged endothelial cells and macrophages to produce more WBCs
define phagocytosis substances called opsonins bind to proteins on microbe and link phagocyte to microbe
define complement inactive proteins circulating in the blood - can be activated by bacteria
what is MAC? kills bacteria by creating holes in the bacteria membrane, causing the bacteria to lose water, ions, and fluid
define tissue repair angiogenesis occurs, blood vessel cells proliferate (imperfect process due to scarring)
define antigen compound foreign to the self (usually); in blood these are naturally occurring markers on the rbc membrane
define antibodies proteins produced in response to an antigen; in blood these are already present in the blood plasma (not based on prior exposure to the antigen)
why are transfusion reactions dangerous if given the wrong blood type? your blood will attack the donor's blood, leading to agglutination (clumping) in the donor's blood. this clumped blood will clog vessels (clot) and cause kidney failure or death.
what causes hemolytic disease in babies? when the mother has Rh- blood and the baby has Rh+ blood, the mom will produce antibodies against the Rh+ blood, and attack her second baby's blood. This can be treated by the mother getting RhoGAM shots (anti-Rh antibodies).
Which is true? Primary lymphoid organs include spleen and lymph nodes Secondary lymphoid organs are where immune cells and antigen meet Secondary lymphoid organs include the bone marrow and thymus Primary lymphoid organs are where lymphocytes divide Secondary lymphoid organs are where immune cells and antigen meet
Lymph vessels: all of the answers are correct drain into the right atrium collect fluids from blood vessels and back to the cardiovascular system contain lymph all
Cancer of the lymph nodes is called lymphoma
Trafficking of lymphocytes ensures they will meet up with polymorphonuclear granulocytes increases chance the lymphocyte will meet specific antigen increases chance the lymphocyte will meet up with any antigen ensures they will meet with inflam. sites increases the chance the lymphocyte will meet the antigen they are specific for
Type 1 Interferon is the way the immune system prevents viral replication in cells true or false true
C3B is a complement protein that works as an opsonin true or false true
Gap junctions are structures within cardiac muscle that allow ions to flow from one cell to another cell true or false true
Both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle contain: gap junctions desmosomes T tubules smaller cells T tubules
The dup sound occurs when ___ valves close. The lub sound occurs when ___ valves close. semilunar; AV
A stenotic valve refers to a ___ valve, and thus makes a ___ sound. An insufficient valve is a ___ valve, and makes a ___ sound. narrowed; whistling; leaky; gurgling
A "lub gurgle dup" means a/an ___ valve. A "lub dup whistle" means a/an ___ valve. A ___ means a stenotic SL valve. A ___ means an insufficient SL valve. insufficient AV; stenotic AV; "lub whistle dup"; "lub dup gurgle"
Blood pressure would increase in which of the following situations? Decreased peripheral resistance Increased viscosity Decreased plasma proteins Increased arteriole radius body-wide Increased viscosity
match: Thick, highly elastic walls, large radii One layer, the endothelium Large smooth muscle layer, important for regulating blood flow to individual organs Thin walled, large radii, some have valves. blood reservoir. arteries, capillaries, arterioles, veins
Taking a drug that increased the production of RBCs in your body would: Increase blood pressure Increase your blood viscosity Increase the peripheral resistance of the blood All of these are correct. all
Please put the vessels in order starting with the vessel that leaves the left ventricle. arteries arterioles capillaries venules veins
