Outer layer of the heart wall (visceral later of the serous pericardium)

detect pressure, touch, pain, and temperature. Located on or very near the body surface and respond to stimuli that arise external to the body

stimuli that change the position of the receptor, resulting in the generation of a receptor potential

activated by either the amount or the changing concentration of certain chemicals. Senses of taste and smell depend on chemoreceptors

a B cell or T cell that is actively producing an immune response, such as secreting antibodies (B-Cells) or directly attacking other cells (T Cells)

powerful poison that acts more directly, quickly killing any cell it attacks

Muscular disorder characterized by progressive weakness and chronic fatigue

the trachea divides at its lower ends into the right bronchus being slightly larger and more vertical than the left *this fact helps explain why aspirated foreign objects often lodge in the right bronchus*

How many lobes do the right and left lungs have?

The right lung us divided into three lobes (superior, middle, and inferior). The left lung is partially divided into two lobes (superior and inferior)

covers the outer surfaces of the lungs and adheres to them much as the skin of an apple adheres to the apple.

Peripheral resistance

resistance to blood flow imposed by the force of friction between blood and the walls of its vessels

Recognize specific threatening agents and then adapt, or respond, by targeting their activity against these agents

Anatomy and Physiology Assignment 2

Term	Definition
Epicardium	Outer layer of the heart wall (visceral later of the serous pericardium)
Exteroceptors	detect pressure, touch, pain, and temperature. Located on or very near the body surface and respond to stimuli that arise external to the body
Mechanoreceptors	stimuli that change the position of the receptor, resulting in the generation of a receptor potential
Chemoreceptors	activated by either the amount or the changing concentration of certain chemicals. Senses of taste and smell depend on chemoreceptors
Memory cell	a B cell or T cell that is actively producing an immune response, such as secreting antibodies (B-Cells) or directly attacking other cells (T Cells)
Lymphotoxin	powerful poison that acts more directly, quickly killing any cell it attacks
Myasthenia Gravis	Muscular disorder characterized by progressive weakness and chronic fatigue
Primary Bronchi	the trachea divides at its lower ends into the right bronchus being slightly larger and more vertical than the left this fact helps explain why aspirated foreign objects often lodge in the right bronchus
How many lobes do the right and left lungs have?	The right lung us divided into three lobes (superior, middle, and inferior). The left lung is partially divided into two lobes (superior and inferior)
Visceral pleura	covers the outer surfaces of the lungs and adheres to them much as the skin of an apple adheres to the apple.
Peripheral resistance	resistance to blood flow imposed by the force of friction between blood and the walls of its vessels
Specific immunity	Recognize specific threatening agents and then adapt, or respond, by targeting their activity against these agents
