BIO 112 Exam 2

Biology of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Exam 2

QuestionAnswer
non- specific Immunity The bodys first line of defense and opperate to prevent disease agents from entering the body, Works on every pathogen the same way
Plasma 60% of blood,NOT RED, mainly water and it contains proteins such as albumins, globulins, fibrinogen
Albumins maintain adequate levals of cellular nutrition and a stable internal enviroment in the body
Globulins Defend body aginst infection, include immunoglobuins
immunoglobuins antibodies, are found in gamma globulin
Erythrocytes Red blood cells, most plentifull, 40-45% total volume of blood, carry oxygen to hemoglobin
Leukocytes White Blood Cells, 2 groups called granulocytes and agranulocytes
Blood Removal and distruction of pathogens
fibrinogen Blood Clotting
Platelets Blood clotting, hemophelia,
granulocytes can be Neutrophil, Eosinophils, Basophils
Agranulocytes Monocytes, lymphocytes, T cells, B cells
Phagocytosis Eating cells, most common way of fighting agents
Stem Cells Able to become many different kinds of cells
Neutrophils most abundant, are egophagocytes
egophagocytes Eager to eat other cells
Eosinophils Released in large # durring an allergy attack
Basophils are involved in allergy attacks, move to tissue, release histomine and heparin
Mast Cells are basophils in the tissue and release histomine and heparin
Monocytes Largest phagocytes, enter cells and become macrophage and engolf/eat pathogens, looks for infections
Macrophage are oraionally calles Monocytes
Lymphocytes Circulate in blood, lymphnodic Syatem , B Cells and T Cells
Histomine starts bodys responce to tissue damage from injury, inflamation
Heparin prevents blood clotting
Lynphatic Syatem rids body of invasive/foregan toxins,
Nodes found all over body, mostly in warm places, along with B and T cells to be carried to blood
Inflammation "to set on fire" first responce of infection, inniates healing process, regulated by body,
5 signs of inflammation Pain, redness, immobility, swelling, heat
Vasodilation veins dialate them constrice in inflamation
emigration when cells move from blood to tissue
Chemotaxis "calling" other cells to the injured site by chemicals
Fevor Bodys resopnce to injury/infection, helps heal, 38.5-39 Degrees C ( babies 103 F)
Non specific Defences include Skin, tears, stomach acid, urine flow,
Gametes Sex Cells
Diploid "2 Copy" of chromosones in humans, one from mom one from dad,
Chromozones DNA 23 pairs or 46 , humans cannot handle differences ex: Downs syndrome
Haploid "1 Copy" had 1/2 less of DNA ex: egg had one of each, sperm has one of each, combine and you get a pair ,
Testis 2 large glands held in scrotum, makes sex cells/sperm, major in reproduction and testrone
Seminiferous tubules responcible for making sperm
testerone initates puberty and in reproduction
Puberty able to reproduce,
seminal vesicles secreate fluid into ejaculatory ducts ans urethra
epididymis a long tube located at the top of each testis
Vas Deferens carries sperm into pelvic region and around urinary bladder
Ejaculatory ducts sperm expelles into urethra, a tube,
Ovary make sex cells in women eg eggs, held in body cavity by muscle, egg jumps from ovary to oviduct/flapoian tube and travils to uterus
Uterus Muscular organ where fertalized egg grows
