|---|---|
| Which of the responses below is NOT true of Kwashiorkor Edema.. | involves a blockage of lymphatic ducts |
| Each of the following changes will result in increased blood flow to a tissue EXCEPT | decreased vessel diameter |
| Blood osmotic pressure is most affected by changes in the | concentration of plasma proteins |
| An exmaple of a hormone that funcations as a vasoconstrictor is: | adrenaline |
| ***Histamine increases blood flow and vascular permeability. This would account for which of the following changes that occur during inflammation?*** | redness of the inflamed tissue, swelling of the inflamed tissue, heat of the inflamed tissue, the localization of proteins and cells necessary for body defense (all of the above!) |
| Immunoglobulins that attach to mast cells and basophils and are involved in allergic reactions are | IgE |
| excessive immune responses to antigens are | allergies |
| The cells responsible for the production of circulating antibodes are | plasma cells |
| The largest collection of lymphatic tissue in the adult body is located in the | spleen |
| ***B cells are primarily activated by the activities of | helper T cells |
| Different pitches (frequencies) of sounds are discriminated in cochlea through | stimulating/vibrating different patches of the basilar membrane |
| The hormone that is the antagonist of calcitronin | parathyroid hormone |
| Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is also known as | type I |
| Steroids are known to be released into the bloodstream from the | adrenal cortex |
| Excess secretion of growth hormone AFTER puberty will cause | acromegaly |

| red blood cells production is regulated primarily by the hormone | Erythropoietin (EOP) |
| A drifting blood clot is called | embolus |
| Anemia is most closely associated with | hematocrit value of less than 40 |
| Aged and damaged erythrocytes (RBSs) are broken down by the | spleen |
| ***Serum | is plasma minus the clotting protins |

| According to Starling's law of the heart, the cardiac output is directly related to | the venous return |
| Cardiac output it is equal to | the product of heart rate and stroke volume |
| the heart valve occurring between the LA and LV is called the ___valve | mitral (biscupid) |
| A heart sound is heart when | valves vlose |
| The left and right pulmonary veins carry blood to the | left atrium |
| Relaxation of ventricles and filling of the atria is defined as | ventricular diastole |
| ***Edema would be likely to form when | the heart is an insufficient pump |
| ***In response to hemorrhage, there is | mobilization of the venous reserve. |
