Question
Answer
Anti-bodies react with their antigens to cause clumping they ________ the antigens (meaning antibodies cause their targeted antigens to stick together into clusters)   agglutinate  
🗑
Blood type that does not contain A or B antigens, nor anti-A or anti-B antibodies   Blood Type O  
🗑
white blood cells are also known as   leukocytes  
🗑
This type of cell is not a white blood cell   thrombocyte  
🗑
This is a battery of tests used to measure the amounts or levels of many blood constituents and is often considered routine part of a PE   CBC; complete blood count  
🗑
Inadequate numbers of RBC's   anemia  
🗑
Sickle-Cell Anemia and Thalassemia are both types of _________ anemia   Hemolytic  
🗑
This anemia is caused by toxins and chemicals   Aplastic anemia  
🗑
Deficiency anemias are caused by what?   Inadequate supply of substances such as B12  
🗑
Dietary deficiency of vitamin B12 causes __________ anemia   pernicious  
🗑
What plays an essential part in clotting   platelets  
🗑
The anti-coagulant warfarin sodium(Coumadin) act by inhibiting   synthesis of prothrombin and other vitamin K-dependant clotting factors  
🗑
What can also be used to prevent excessive blood clotting   Heparin  
🗑
Heparin inhibits   the conversion pof prothrombin to thrombin preventing the formation of a thrombus  
🗑
Clot dissolving substance that is often used in dissolving clots that block the heart muscle arteries   TPA; tissue plasminogen activator  
🗑
The two upper chambers of the heart are called   Atria  
🗑
The two lower chambers of the heart are called   Ventricles  
🗑
Atria are also referred to as   Receiving chambers  
🗑
Ventricles are also referred to as   Discharging chambers  
🗑
The chambers of the heart are each lined with a smooth tissue called   Endocardium  
🗑
Inflammation of the tissue lining the chambers of the heart is called   endocarditis  
🗑
outer layer of the pericardium is called   parietal pericardium  
🗑
The parietal pericardium fits around the heart like   a loose fitting sack  
🗑
contraction of the heart is called   systole  
🗑
relaxation of the heart is called   diastole  
🗑
The two valves the separate the atrial chambers from the ventricles are called   AV valves; atrioventricular valves  
🗑
The valve located between the left atrium and left ventricle is called   bicuspid or mitral valve  
🗑
The valve located between the right atrium and the right ventricle is called   tricuspid valve  
🗑
The lub sound is caused by   vibration and abrupt closure of the AV valves as the ventricles contract  
🗑
The second sound is caused by   closing of both semilunar valves when the ventricles go through diastole (relax)  
🗑
This type of circulation involves the blood pumping from the right ventricle to the lungs   Pulmonary Circulation  
🗑
Atheroscelrosis is a type of   hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis)  
🗑
Severe chest pain that occurs when the myocardium is deprived of adequate oxygen   angina pectoris  
🗑
Each complete heart beat is called a _______ _____ and includes the contraction (systole) and relaxation(diastole) of the artia and ventricles   Cardiac Cycle  
🗑
The volume of blood ejected from the ventricles each beat   Stroke Volume  
🗑
The volume of blood pumped by one ventricle per minute   Cardiac output  
🗑
The pacemaker of the heart   Sinoatrial (SA) Node  
🗑
Slow heart rhythm (less than 60 beats per minute)   bradycardia  
🗑
Common type of vascular disease the occludes(blocks) arteries and weakens arterial walls   arteriosclerosis  
🗑
Ateriosclerosis is characterized by thickening of arterial walls that progresses to   hardening as calcium deposits form  
🗑
Atherosclerosis is blockage of arteries by   lipids (fats)  
🗑
Section of artery that is abnormally widened because of weakening of the arterial wall   aneurysm  
🗑
When veins dilate and the distance of flaps of the venous valves widen and become incompetent   Vericose Veins  
🗑
vein inflammation   phlebitis  
🗑
The direct cause of blood pressure is   Blood volume (the larger amount of blood the more pressure the blood exerts on the arterial walls causing higher blood pressure)  
🗑
Lymph is a fluid that is formed in the tissue spaces and is transported by the   lymphatic vessels  
🗑
The two terminal lymphatic vessels   right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct  
🗑
Lymph from 75% of the body drains into   Thoracic duct  
🗑
Enlarged pouchlike structure that serves as a storage area for lymph moving towards its point of entry   cisterna chyli  
🗑
Abnormal condition of tissue swelling from accumulation of lymph   Lymphedema  
🗑
Lymphatic capillaries that transport fats   lacteals  
🗑
Swelling of the lymph nodes   lymphadenitis  
🗑
pharyngeal tonsils are also known as   adenoids  
🗑
Largest lymphoid organ in the body (it sits high in the abdomen)   spleen  
🗑
The body's overall defense system   immune system  
🗑
This exposure is not deliberate and occurs in the course of everyday living   Natural Exposure  
🗑
Immunization is also know as   Artificial Exposure  
🗑
This type of immunity occurs when an individual's own immune system responds to a harmful agent   Active Immunity  
🗑
An antibody molecule combines with a specific compound called   antigen  
🗑
An important way in which antibodies react is a process called   complete cascade  
🗑
Primary cells of the immune system   Phagocytes and Lymphocytes  
🗑
Phagocytes and Lymphocytes contain   White blood cells  
🗑
Lymphocytes (the most numerous calles in the immune system) there are about   1 trillion  
🗑
It is possible to be stung by a bee and not have a reaction the first time   TRUE  
🗑
A common autoimmune disease   Systemic lupus erythematosus; Lupus  
🗑

🗑
