Blueprint Review Videos Flashcards
Nativist theory of language def
Everyone has innate capacity for language because they all have a language acquisition device
Tight junctions
Epithelial and endothelial cells
-No leakage between the cells
Geometric isomers def
Diff orientations around double bonds
-Cis and E-Z designations
Residual volume
Air left after max exhalation
Arachidonic acid is precursor to what
Prostaglandins
Innate immune system components
Skin tightly packed, sweats and sheds
Saliva contains lysozyme to break down bacteria
Complement system tags bacteria for destruction
Ascending loop of henle function
Na+/K+ flow out of loop and into vasa recta
-Filtrate becomes more dilute
Constant region of antibodies
Constant across all antibodies of the same type
Sapir Whorf hypothesis aka
Linguistic relativity
OSteoblasts buld bone with what
They build bone by producing hydroxyapatite
Function of bicarbonate in small intestine
Neutralizes acidic chyme that enters duodenum
MHC 1 antigens are displayed on what cells
All cells
Bulbourethral gland aka
Cowper’s gland
H-static pressure of filtration does what
Puts pressure on walls of glomerulus by pushing blood against them
-Stuff pushed into bowman’s capsule = filtrate
Spongy bone features
Trabecular/cancellous bone
- Less dense and porous
- Houses the bone marrow and blood vessels
Umbilical vein function
Carries oxygenated blood toward fetal heart
Difference between spermatozoa and sperm
Sperm are motile
Where is smooth ER in highest abundance
In the liver because of all of its detoxification and lipid metabolism functino
Steps of fatty acid synthesis
Reverse of beta oxidation
- Instead of hydration, dehydration
- Instead of oxidation, reductino
Does adding solute inc vapor pressure
No it decreases it because makes liquid less likely to evaporate
What do MHC II receptors do/cell response
They display exogenous material on dendritic cells or pfrom previously engulfed by phagocytes
- Helper T cells aka CD4 T cells secrete cytokines to bring other immune cells to the site
- Also recruit other innate immune cells to the site
When is oxytocin released
At end of pregnancy to stimulate uterine contractions of birth
Surfactant function
Reduces surface tension in the in the alveoli
-Insufficient surfactant leads to collapsed lungs
EPitope
Site on antigen recognized by antibodies
