27
Q

Period of breathing when air enters the lungs

A

Inspiration

28
Q

Period of breathing when air leaves the lungs

A

Expiration

29
Q

Alternate flushing of air into and out of the lungs

A

Pulmonary ventilation (breathing)

30
Q

Exchange of gases between alveolar air and pulmonary capillary blood

A

External respiration

31
Q

Respiratory control center in the pons

A

Pontine respiratory group

32
Q

Respiratory control centers in the medulla

A

VRG and DRG

33
Q

Responds to decreased oxygen levels in the blood

A

Chemoreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid bodies

34
Q

Respond to overinflation of the lungs

A

Stretch receptors in the lungs

35
Q

Integrates input from the peripheral stretch receptors and chemoreceptors

36
Q

The breathing rhythm center

37
Q

Basically acts to fine-tune respiratory rhythms generated by the medulla

A

Pontine respiratory group

38
Q

The largest lymphatic organ

39
Q

Filter lymph

A

Lymph node

40
Q

What are three important characteristics of the adaptive immune response?

A

Self recognition, specificity and memory

41
Q

Define immunocompetence

A

The ability to produce a normal immune response when exposed to a specific antigen.

42
Q

Particularly large and important during youth, helps to program T cells

43
Q

Collectively called MALT - mucosa associated lymphoid tissue

44
Q

Removes aged and defective red blood cells

45
Q

Contains red and white pulp

46
Q

Includes the adenoids

47
Q

Acts against bacteria breaching the intestinal wall

A

Peyer’s patches

48
Q

What are the 4 main events of respiration?

A

Ventilation (normal breathing)
External respiration gas exchange b/w air blood
Internal respiration gas exchange b/w blood tissue
Cellular respiration

49
Q

What 4 factors make unloading of oxygen from Hb at the tissue level happen more easily?

A

AT the tissue, higher temperature (skeletal muscles doing work) low pH (presence of lactic acid from work) High C02 and low O2 (from cellular respiration)

50
Q

What makes the loading of oxygen into Hb at the lungs happen more easily?

A

Lower temperature, higher pH, lower pCO2 higher pO2.

51
Q

Interferon

A

Released from virus infected cells to cause uninfected cells to make Anti Viral Protein

52
Q

Interleukin I

A

Comes from Antigen Presenting Cells during inspection by Helper CD4 T cells to activate to Helper T cells

53
Q

Interleukin II

A

Causes active Helper T cells to activate immune system response “time to fight now”

54
Q

Revers transcriptase

A

RNA virus enzyme that allows the cell to make viral DNA from viral RNA

55
Q

Lymphotoxin (granyzyme)

A

Degenerates DNA and organelles of target cell

56
Q

Perforin

A

Pokes hols in target cell so granzyme can leak in

57
Q

Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)

A

Volume of air that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal tidal inhale

58
Q

Expiratory reserve volume

A

volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal tidal exhale

59
Q

Atmospheric pressure
