Final

QuestionAnswer
Chambers of the heart Right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
Heart valves Tricuspid, pulmonary semilunar, mitral/bicuspid, aortic semi lunar
Function of heart valves To ensure one way blood flow
Blood flow through the heart Body, RA, RV, lungs, LA, LV, body
Systemic circuit Heart, body, heart
Pulmonary circuit Heart, lungs, heart
Pacemaker cells SA node cells that spontaneously depolarized to set heart rate
Cardiac conduction pathway SA node, AV note, AV bundle, bundle branches, purkinje fibers
Cardiac output definition Amount of blood pumped per minute
Formula for cardiac output Heart rate x stroke volume
Difference between arteries and veins Arteries are thick and contain high pressure while veins are thin and low pressure with valves
Elastic artery function Pressure reserve, closest to the heart
Muscular arteries function Distribute blood to organs
Arterioles function Control blood pressure via diameter changes
How diameter affects flow? Lower diameter means less resistance, which means more flow
How pressure affects flow Higher pressure means more flow
Capillary structure One cell thick walls
Capillary exchange processes Diffusion osmosis filtration
Major blood cell types RBC, WBC, platelets
Function of RBC’s They transport O2 and CO2
Function of WBC Immunity and defense
Function of platelets Blood clotting
How is oxygen transported? Binds to hemoglobin
How is carbon dioxide transported? Dissolved, bicarbonate ions, or on hemoglobin
Steps of blood clotting Platelets plug, fibroid mesh, clot
Blood antigen definition Molecule on RBC surface that determines blood type
Blood antigen definition Proteins in plasma that attack foreign antigens
Flow of lymph Tissue fluid, lymph, capillaries, vessels, ducts, bloodstream
Lymphatic tissues Tonsils, MALT
Lymphatic organs Lymph nodes, spleen, thymus
Innate immunity Fast, nonspecific defenses
Adaptive immunity Slow, specific, memory base defenses
Primary immune response First exposure, slow, low antibody levels
Secondary immune response Fast and strong due to memory cells
T cell function Cell mediated, immunity, kill, infected cells, active immune cells
Where do T cells mature? Thymus
B cell function Produce antibodies, become plasma and memory cells
Where do B cells mature? Bone marrow
Respiratory track pathway Nose, pharynx , larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli
Function of alveoli Main site of gas exchange
Inspiration mechanism Diaphragm contracts and lungs expand
Expiration mechanism Diaphragm relaxes and lungs recoil
Title volume definition Normal breathing volume
Gas exchange at lungs 02 enters blood, CO2 leaves blood
How oxygen is transported? Hemoglobin
How carbon dioxide is transported? Bicarbonate, dissolved, HB binding
Digestive organs and function Mouth (chew), stomach(mix + acid), small intestine(absorb), large intestine(water absorption)
Mechanical digestion definition Physical breakdown of food
Chemical digestion definition Enzymes breaking chemical bonds
Where does most absorption occur? Small intestine
Structures for absorption Villi and microvilli
Metabolism definition All chemical reactions in the body
Anabolism definition Building molecules, requires energy
Catabolism definition Breaking molecules, release energy
Carbohydrate monomers Monosaccharides
Protein monomers Amino acids
Lipid monomers Fatty acids
Nucleic acid monomers Nucleotides
Absorptive state Nutrients stored after eating
Postabsorptive state Body uses stored nutrients
Macronutrients Carbs, proteins, lipids
Micronutrients Vitamins, minerals
Urinary organs Kidney, ureters, bladder, urethra
Urinary function Remove waste, regulate water, ions, pH, BP
Kidney anatomy Cortex, medulla, pyramids, renal pelvis
Nephron processes Filtration, reabsorption, secretion
Filtration definition Blood, nephron
reabsorption Nephron, blood
Secretion definition Blood, nephron
Urine formation Combination of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion
Percent of body water 60
ICF Fluid inside cells
ECF Plasma, ICF
Major body ions Na, K, Ca2, Cl,HCO
pH regulation systems Buffers, kidneys,lungs
Purpose of meiosis Produce haploid gametes
Male reproductive function Produce and transport sperm, make testosterone
Spermatogenesis pathway Spermatogonium, primary spermatocyte, secondary spermatocyte,spermatid, sperm
Female reproductive function Produce oocytes,support fetus, make estrogen/ progesterone
Oogenesis Egg formation, starts before birth and completes at fertilization
Ovarian cycle phases Follicular, ovulation, luteal
Uterine cycle phases Menstrual, proliferation, secretory
Fertilization definition Sperm + egg fuse to form zygote
Implantation Embryo embeds in uterine lining
Prenatal periods Pre-embryonic (0-2) embryonic( 3-8) fetal(9 birth)
Stages of labor Dilation, explosion, placental stage
Hypothalamic- hypophyseal portal system Blood connection delivering hormones to anterior pituitary
Tier one control Hypothalamus releasing hormones
Tier 2 control Anterior pituitary releasing hormones
Tier 3 control Target organs releasing final hormones
Anterior pituitary hormones TSH, ACTH, FSH, LH, GH, PRL
Posterior pituitary hormones ADH, oxytocin
Thyroid hormones T3, T4 (metabolism), calcitonin (lower Ca2)
Parathyroid hormone PTH (raises Ca2)
Adrenal cortex hormone Cortisol, Aldosterone
Adrenal medulla hormones Epinephrine,norepinephrine
Secondary endocrine organs Kidneys, pancreas, heart, adipose tissue, Gi tract
