B.) The nervous system elicits a fast response
C.) The nervous system elicits a brief effect
D.) The endocrine system utilizes neurotransmitters

A

D.) The endocrine system utilizes neurotransmitters

25

A.) Thyroid
B.) Pancreas
C.) Pineal
D.) Pituitary

A

B.) Pancreas

26
Q

True or False: If a hormone cannot interact with its’ target cell receptors, it will still be able to find a way to perform its’ function.

A

TRUE

A.)Synergistic
B.) Permissive
C.) Symbiotic
D.) Antagonistic

C.) Increase

A

C.) Increase

30
Q

A

FALSE

31
Q

A.) Excessive Thirst
B.) A Huge urine output
C.) Decreased hunger

32
Q

blood/blood typing

What is the composition of blood?

A

1.) Plasma 55% of blood
2.) Buffy coat
3.) Leukocytes an platelets <1%
4.) Erythrocytes 45% of blood

33
Q

blood/blood typing

What is the measure of hematocrit for male & female?

A

47% for males
42% for females

34
Q

blood/blood typing

How does a sample of whole blood looks after it has been sent through a centrifuge?

A

1.) plasma = on top
2.) buffy coat = in middle
3.) erythrocytes = on bottom

35
Q

blood/blood typing

Know the general structure of hemoglobin

A

1.) biconcave shape = more surface area for exchange
2.) lots of hemoglobin (97 % of cell) = Hb is what oxygen binds to
3.) they don’t have mitochondria

36
Q

blood/blood typing

What is the oxygen carrying capacity for hemoglobin?

A

4 oxygen

37
Q

blood/blood typing

What are the 3 groups of causes of anemia?

A

1.) blood loss-hemorrhagic anemia (means rapid blood loss)too much blood lost = RBC lost = RBC supply lost faster that can be replaced
2.) not enough RBC produced-iron-deficiency anemia body doesn’t have enough iron = iron needed to make hemoglobin = no hemoglobin = no RBC
3.) too many RBC being destroyed-sickle cell anemia (hemoglobin turns into a different shape, crescent moon)not enough oxygen = RBC become crescent shaped = shape is bad = crescent RBC explode easily & block stuff from being weird shaped = die often = less RBC

38
Q

blood/blood typing

Know human blood groups / typing under ABO and Rh.

A

1.) type A- Anti B antibodies
2.) type B- Anti A antibodies
3.) type AB- No antibodies
4.) type O- Anti A and and B antibodies

39
Q

blood/blood typing

Understand what would happen if you had a certain blood type and received a transfusion from a different type.

A

the recipient (Rh-) will attack the donor (Rh+) w/ the recipients plasma agglutinins (antigens)- the anti A/B antibodies will agglutinate (clump together) & clog small vessels & rupture

40
Q

cardiovascular

function of pulmonary veins

A

they take oxygenated blood from lungs to the heart (away = arteries but pulmonary its opposite)

41
Q

cardiovascular

function of pulmonary arteries

A

they take deoxygenated blood from the right side of heart to the lungs (away = arteries but pulmonary its opposite)

42
Q

cardiovascular

what type of blood does the right atrium receive?

A

deoxygenated blood

43
Q

cardiovascular

how does the right atrium receive blood?

A

it receives blood from 3 holes

44
Q

cardiovascular

what 3 holes does the right atrium receive from?

A

1.) superior vena cava
2.) inferior vena cava
3.) coronary sinus

45
Q

cardiovascular

after the right atrium receives blood, what does it go through to?

A

blood goes through the right atrioventricular valve (tricuspid valve)

46
Q

cardiovascular

what are the steps of the right side of the heart?

A

right atrium receives blood (3)→ through right AV → into right ventricle → pushed up to pulmonary semilunar valve → through pulmonary trunk → pumped into pulmonary arteries → out to the lungs for oxygen
