| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Digestive enzymes release | CCK (cholecystokinin/pancreozymin) |
| T-cell immunity | cell-mediated immunity, T-cells attack infected cells directly |
| Senses of touch | *Free nerve endings-crude and persistent touch *Meissner -light touch *Pacinian -vibration *Ruffini - skin stretch |
| Aldosterone first effect | increase sodium reabsorption in kidney tubules. Sodium first, water follows salt, increases blood volume, and increases bloop pressure. |
| Capillary dynamics | *Hydrostatic pressure pushes fluid OUT of capillaries *colloid (oncotic) pressure pulls fluid IN (from plasma proteins) *protein pulls* |
| Thirst center | is in the hypothalamus which contains osmoreceptors that detect |
| T Tubes:Transverse tubules extend across the sarcoplasm at right angles to the long axis of the muscle fiber... | *Formed by inward extensions of the sarcolemma c. Membrane has ion pumps that continually transport Ca ions inward from the sarcoplasm, *Allow electrical impulses traveling along the sarcolemma to move deeper into the cell |
| peripheral nervous system (PNS) | consists of the nerve tissues that lie in the periphery, or “outer regions,” of the nervous system. |
| synapse | is where nerve information is transmitted from one neuron to another. Synapses are located between the synaptic knobs on one neuron and the dendrites or cell body of another neuron. |
| Membrane potential | There is a slight excess of positive ions on the outside of the membrane & a slight excess of negative ions on the inside of the membrane. resulting in a difference in electrical charge across their plasma membranes called the membrane potential. |
| Refractory Period | is a brief period during which a local area of an axon’s membrane resists restimulation . For about 0.5 ms after the membrane surpasses the threshold potential, it will not respond to any stimulus, no matter how strong |
| Thamalus | pleasure centers or reward centers for the primary drives such as eating, drinking, and sex, also regulating sleep cycle. |
