cirullatory immune respitory Flashcards
A circulatory system typically consists of
blood, _____, and a system of blood ____
or spaces through which bloodcirculates
heart, vessels
sponges and flat worms have
No True Circulatory System
Open Circulatory System Found in and are
arthropods, most mollusks
Blood” flows into a hemocoel
bathing tissues directly
Closed Circulatory System is
Blood flows through a continuous circuit of
blood vessels
Circulatory System Helps maintain
fluid balance, pH, body temperature Defends body against infectious disease
Plasma contains
Water and salts Substances in transport Plasma proteins albumins globulins fibrinogen
Arteries carry blood
away from the heart
Veins return blood
to the heart
what do Arterioles do and how do they do it
constrict (vasoconstriction)
dilate (vasodilation)
Arterioles regulate blood pressure and
distribution of blood to tissues
Capillaries are
thin-walled exchange vessels allow materials to transfer between blood and tissues
During the evolution of terrestrial vertebrates, adaptations in circulatory
system structures led to maintenance of ____ ____ and ______ oxygen-rich from oxygen-poor blood
blood pressure seperate
The four-chambered hearts and double
circuits of endothermic birds and mammals completely separate
oxygen rich blood from oxygen-poor blood
in the Cardiac Cycle
One complete heartbeat is
Closing of AV valves
Closing of semilunar valves
Blood Pressure is
The force blood exerts against inner walls
of the blood vessel
Blood Pressure is greatest in ____ and Decreases in
arteries, capillaries
Blood Pressure 2
Depends on
cardiac output
blood volume
resistance to blood flow
Pulmonary circulation
connects _____
Systemic circulation
connects _____
heart and lungs,heart and tissues
Coronary arteries
supply heart muscle with blood
The Lymphatic System
Collects interstitial fluid, returns it to blood Defends body against disease
Absorbs lipids from digestive tract
Lymphatic vessels conduct
lymph
Lymph
clear fluid formed from interstitial fluid
Lymph nodes
small masses of tissue
filter bacteria, harmful materials out of lymph
what are First-Line Defenses in immune sys
skin, mucous linings of respiratory, digestive tracts Generally antimicrobial peptides
Nonspecific Immune Cells
Phagocytes destroy bacteria (neutrophils
macrophages) Natural killer (NK) cells destroy cells
Inflammatory Response sticks
Vasodilation (brings more blood to area of infection)
2. Increased capillary permeability (allows fluid and antibodies to leave
circulation and enter tissues)
3. Increased phagocytosis
Inflammatory Response
Mast cells release histamine and other
compounds
pathogens encounters antigens, immune
system produces
antibodies highly specific proteins
recognize and bind to specific antigens
immunological memory
“remembers” foreign or dangerous molecules
responds more strongly to repeated
encounters with the same molecules
Cell-Mediated Immunity Specific T cells are activated and they
T cells release proteins
destroy cells infected with viruses or other
intracellular pathogens
antibody-Mediated Immunity Specific B cells are activated and they
B cells multiply and differentiate into
plasma cells which produce antibodies
Secondary immune response
to second exposure to same antigen produces
more rapid, more intense than primary
response
Active Immunity
Develops after
exposure to antigens
May occurnaturally after recovery from a diseas artificially by immunization (vaccine)
Passive Immunity (Temporary) happens when
Individual receives antibodies produced by
another person or animal
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
Destroys T helper cells
severely impairs immunity
patient at risk for opportunistic infections
Allergic Reaction
Allergen stimulates production o
IgE combines with receptors on mast cells
Mast cells release histamine
Systemic anaphylaxis
rapid, widespread allergic reaction
can lead to death
Adaptations for Gas Exchange Small aquatic animals
exchange gases by diffusion no specialized respiratory structures
Adaptations for Gas Exchange most annelids) and some vertebrates (many amphibians
exchange gases across body surface
Ciliated mucous lining traps inhaled
particles in
nose
pharynx
trachea
bronchi
About 60% of CO2 in blood is transported
as
bicarbonate ions
About 30% combines with hemoglobin
About 10% is dissolved in plasma
