Q

B - lymphocytes
T - lymphocytes

A

B - lymphocytes -> antibody-mediated immunity, they are active against viruses, bacteria, and soluble foreign molecules.
- antibodies are proteins made by B lymphocytes that bind with and neutralize specific antigens
T - lymphocytes -> cell-mediated immunity, they directly attack foreign cells, and coordinate the immune response
- they are active against parasites, viruses, fungi, intracellular bacteria, cancer cells, cells with “non-self” MHC

25
Obstructive Restrictive
Problem with the tubes Problem with the balloons
26
The two muscled associated with breathing out
Internal intercostals -> they enable forced expiration of the lungs by depressing on the ribs Abs -> there is a contraction of abdominal muscles when breathing out
27
The pleura does what
The pleura protects the lungs The outer layer is the parietal pleura and attaches to the chest wall. The innermost layer is the visceral pleura and covers the lungs, blood vessels, nerves, and bronchi.
28
The alimentary canal
- approximately 30 feet in length - (refers to the gastrointestinal tract)
29
Gallbladder Spleen Salivary glands Tongue Teeth Liver Pancreas Appendix
Spleen - largest lymphatic organ (red pulp - removes old and damaged red blood cells - storage; white pulp - has lymphocytes, and searching pathogens) Salivary glands - produce saliva and are a solvent in cleansing the teeth, dissolving food chemicals so you can taste. Tongue - moves food around in the mouth, assists in swallowing food, articulation of speech, tase Teeth - incisors cut and shear food, canines hold and tear food, premolars crush food, molars grind food Pancreas - produces pancreatic juices, and secrete glucose and triglycerides Gallbladder - stores and concentrates biles Liver -
30
where does amylase come from
The pancreas and the salivary glands
31
Large intestine
Cecum - 2-3” long, a blind pouch located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen Colon - ascending; transverse; descending; sigmoid Rectum: the last 7-8” of the intestinal tube
32
Small intestine
Duodenum: shortest section of the small ingestion that attaches to the pyloric end of the stomach (10”) Jejunum: the point at which the small intestine turns abruptly forward and downward Ileum - 12’ long and marks the minimal line of demarcation between the jejunum and ileum
33
Where is water absorbed Where are nutrients absorbed
90% of water is absorbed in the small intestine Nutrients are absorbed in the jejunum of the small intestine
34
Carbohydrate digestion
Carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth and ends in the small intestine - the primary goal for carbs is to break down from glycogen into glucose and coming into the cells - carbohydrates take up 45-65% of total calorie intake. 4 kcals/gram
35
Protein digestion
Proteases catalyze the hydrolysis of proteins and each kind of protease then catalyzes the breaking apart of a specific kind of peptide bond - mechanical begins in the mouth and ends in the intestines. Chemical begins in the stomach and ends in the small intestine - 4 kcals/gram
36
Lipid digestion
When fats become insoluble in water and must then be emulsified - the majority of lipid digestion occurs in the small intestine. - 9 kcals/gram
37
Serosa layer
The “serous” layer, which is the outermost layer of the GI tract wall, and is actually the visceral layer of the peritoneum - it lines the abdominal pelvic cavity and covers the organs - the fold of the serous membrane shown connects the parietal and visceral portions called the mesentery
38
Muscular is
- the “muscular” layer, the thick layer of muscle tissue that wraps itself around the submucosa, - uses segmental contraction, and peristaltic movements - out longitudinal, inner circular, oblique
39
Submucosa
- the layer of the digestive tube that is compassed of connective tissue (has numerous small glands, blood vessels, and parasympathetic nerves that form the submucosa plexus)
40
Mucosa
- the mucous layer, the innermost layer of the GI wall which faces the lumen. - is the absorptive and major secretory layer - chief cells - Pepsinogen; parietal cells - hydrochloric acid; mucous - mucus; argentaffin - serotonin and histamine; g-cells - gastrin
41
Ureters Urethra Urinary bladder
- muscular tubes that transport urine from the kidneys to the bladder - 3 layers of smooth muscles, lined with epithelial cells, stores urine (600 - 1,000ml) - Carrie urine from the bladder to the outside of the body. Two sphincters that control this
42
Nephrons
The functional unit of the kidney (1 million per kidney)
43
Water coming in and out
The amount of water coming in must equal the amount coming out - water from food accounts for 20-25% of total fluid intake - water is 31.4%/ beverages is 43.6%
44
Polyuria Oliguria Anuria
Polyuria - excessive urine production (>2.5 L/day) Oliguria- decreased urine production (300-500ml/day) Anuria - virtual absence of urine production (<50 ml/day)
45
Antidiuretic hormone regulates what
Water balance Increase or decrease of thirst Influences water reabsorption in kidneys
46
Filtration
The movement of water and protein-free volutes from plasma in the glomerulus, across the capsular membrane, and into the capsular space
47
Reabsorption
Tubes -> blood
48
Secretion
Blood -> tubes
49
EPO
Stimulates the profusion of red blood cells - triggers the increase in red blood cell production in bone marrow
50
Aldosterone
An adrenal hormone that regulates sodium excretion - increases Na+ reabsorption from the distal tubule and collecting duct
51
Diaphysis
The main shaft-like portion, hollow, cylindrical and thick with compact bone
52
Epiphyses
At the distal and proximal ends of the bone that provide points of muscle attachments and stability to the joints
53
Chondrocyte
- product the tough, rubbery ground substance for cartilage - found in the lacunae, and are similar to osteocytes - responsible for formation of cartilage
54
Osteoclast Osteoblast Osteocyte
- “bone - destroying”/ “bone - reabsorbing” - “bone - building” - “mature cells”
55
Osteoporosis
Excessive bone loss
56
Osteopenia
Bone loss
57
Osteogenesis
The forming of new bone
58
Red and yellow bone marrow
Red -> prominent in children and infants -> producing of red blood cells Yellow -> prominent in older adults (what is being replaced by adipocytes
59
Parathyroid hormone
Increases when blood Ca++ falls Stimulates osteoclasts to secrete more bone-dissolving enzymes
60
Calcitonin
Secretion increases when blood levels of Ca++ are high Stimulates osteoblasts to add calcium and phosphate to bone
61
What is it called when two bones meet
Joints or articulation
62
Synovial
Uniaxial - one axis and one plane Bi axial - two of both Multiaxail - three or more o both
63
Axial and appendicular
Axial - skull, vertebra, ribs Appendicular - the limbs
64
Two main parts of the nephrons
Renal corpuscle: glomerulus (capillaries), Bowman capsule (glomerular capsule) Renal tubule: proximal ovulated tubule, Henley loop (nephron loop), distal consulates tubule
65
Inspired air Expired air
Oxygen - 20.93, carbon dioxide - 0.03, nitrogen - 79.04 Oxygen - 14-17, carbon dioxide - 3-6, nitrogen - balance
66
Oxygen transportation CO2 transportation
Hemoglobin, plasma Hemoglobin, plasma, carbonic acid
67
Metabolism how do we burn calories overall
Basal metabolic rate and resting metabolic rate (60-70%) Physical activity (10-30%) Thermogenesis (10%)
