Q

5 stages of blood clotting

A
  1. injured blood vessles realses chemical messengers which attract platelets
    2, collecting plate;ets reputre and releases substances that combine with other blood compents to produce enzyme called thromboplasim
  2. with help of valcium ions, thromboplastin reacts with prothrombin (proteon sectreted by liver) producing thrombin
  3. thrmbon reacts with fibrinogen to produce fibrin
  4. Fibrin strands act as sort of mesh preventing blood cells from escaping by forming a clot

Q

explain blood transport

A

blood trasnport is connected to all other body sustems
digestion: capillaries in small intestine wall absorb nutrients
respiration: capillary beds in lungs allow for gas exchange
urinary: metabolic wates, mineral ions and other waste products are carried by blood into kidneys

Q

what is homeostatic regulation

Q

what is vasodilation

A

process of blood vessels expanding and moving towards the skin to release heat
sweat glands secrete fluid as fluid evaporates heat is lost from the body

Q

what is vasoconstriction

A

process of blood vessles contracting and moving away from the skin to conerve heat
regulated by BP and metabolic activity
sweat glands do not secrete fluids, shivering generates heat warming the body (heat retained)

Q

stimulus response when decrease in enviornemntal temp in thermoregulation

A

contriction of blood vessles in skin, body hairs become errect, shivering
result: heat conserved more heat generated by increase in metabolism

Q

how does blood presure impact termoregulation

A

high BP is result of vasocontriction, low BP result of vasodilation

23
Q

how does exercise impact termoregulation

A

promotes vasodilation in order to increase blood flow to tissues

24
Q

how does alcohol and nicotine impact termoregulation

A

alcholo promotes vasodilation and nicotine promotes vasocontriction

25
Q

3 main roles of lympathic system

A
  1. maintain fluid balance: plasma (exiting capillaries) amd interestital fluid can enter vessles of lympthatic system in form of lymph
  2. Transport lipids: specialized lymph capillaries in intestines dispoerse digested fats
  3. lymphocytes and macropages located in lymph nodes
    network of vessles closely assoicated with capillaries of cardiovascular sustem
26
Q

what is lymph

A

help maintain balance of fluids in body, bathing celles in interestrial fluid as it mixes with general blood cirulation

27
Q

what are lymph nodes

A

where white blood cells mature, they also cointain macrophages, type of white blood cell that traps and destroys bacteria

28
Q

why do lymph nodes swell

A

infections lead to increase of macropahges

29
Q

what is a pathogen

A

organism that can cause disease in the host upon infection
celluar: living
acelluar: non living

30
Q

what is the first line of defense

A

Barriers
- physical: eyelashes, cilia, nose hairs
- chemical: mucous, tears, saliva
- skin: hostile environment for microorganisms all cointains bacteria

31
Q

what is the second line of defense

A

Non specific defense , innate (born with it)
- neutrophils: 1st to arrive, phagocytic process of engulfing and destorying harmful pathogens
- monocytes( become macorphages) : second to arrice devour pathogens dead tissues and dead neutrophils
- Inflamotory response : damage to tissues causes capillariers to swell and leak relaseing phagocytes or WBC to wounds
- Fever: white blood cells relases chemicals to trigger hypthalmus to increase body temp, white blood cells work better viruses do not

32
Q

what is the third line of defense

A

Specific denfense ( adaptive )
- number of lymphocytic white blood cells target pathogens according to specifc markers they present, two types T-cells and B-cells

33
Q

what are helper t cells

A

reconignze forgein antiegns
chemical signal is relased
stimulates more macrophages (b and t cells)

34
Q

what are suppressor t cells

A

monitor killer t cells to make sure they do not destory healthy tissues, ends immune response and inhibt other t and b cells

35
Q

what are killer t cells

A

reconignze forgein antigen on infected cells or cnacerous cells and then bind puncture and destory infected cells

36
Q

what are memory t cells

A

do not respond on first exposure but remain in blood for future invasion, keeps record of the antigens on the invading particle for quicker response

37
Q

what are B cells

A

recrtuted to site of phagocystosiis by t cells made in bone marrow

38
Q

what are plasma b cells

A

produce antibodies that reconizge and attatch to antigens of specific pathogens essentially slowing pathogen down and making it for descrution through phagocytos

39
Q

what are memory b cells

A

display antibody like protiens that match antigen ( protiens) presented by that particular pathogen
- remain in blood stream so that if they ever encountered that pathogen again they can quickly call a phagocyte to the scene

40
Q

what are antibodies

A

proteins that recognize the antigens displayed by foreigh particles and trigger series of events to quickly neutralize or destory them,
- speciifc to different pathogens and are genterated after white blood cells destory said pathogens through phagocytosis

41
Q

how is immune system devolped

A

through various exposure to different forgein substances
after infection antibodies remain in blood stream to be ready for next attack

42
Q

what are allgeries

A

exaggerated immune response to harmless material, 2 types
acute: occors within seconds
delayed: slower, lasts lower

43
Q

what is HIV

A

targets and kills t cells thereby preventing immune system from working properly, cripples immune system

44
Q

what is autoimmune disease

A

when t cells or antibodies mistakenly attack body’s own cells
examples: celliac disease, rheumoatoid, type 1 diabeties

45
Q

what is blood transfusion

A

transfer of blood from one person to another
- tend to be only blood cells not plasma
-only antigens are transfued not antibodies

46
Q

what are antigens

A

specific proteins that are embedded in membrane or red blood cells
Cell ID

47
Q

what are antibodies

A

specific proteins found in blood plasma
bind to specific antigens
inactive invaders or active macropahges to destory invaders

48
Q

type-a blood type

A

has a-antigens on red blood cell surface and b-antibodies in plasma

49
Q

type-b blood type

A

has b-antigens on RBC surface and A-antibodies in plasma

50
Q

type AB blood type

A

has a and b antigens on Red blood cell surface and no ab antibodies in plasma

51
Q

type o blood

A

no a/b antigens on RBC surface and both a and b antibodies in plasma

52
Q

what is agguluntination

A

clumping of red blood cells, incompatiacble

53
Q

what is the universal donor

A

type o blood
cointains neither antigens on its RBC’s
lack of antigen=invisible when entering blood stream
does have n=both antibodies but antobodies are not transfered

54
Q

what is the universal recpient

A

blood type AB
plasma cointains neither recipiant
won’t reconigze any antigens coming into blood so not aggiltination

55
Q

what is the rhesus factor

A

found in membranes of RBC
Rh posotive
- antigen present do not have anti-Rh antibodies
Rh negative
antiegn is not present however most Rh- people will not have antibody present unless they have been exposed to Rh- factos during transfusion or pregnacy
