Q

ESSAY: What is malt? What role does it play in the body’s defenses?

A

Mucosa-associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) consists of aggregated lymphoid nodules deep to the mucosa of the digestive system. These lymphocytes are positioned to detect and neutralize pathogens to enter the body across the digestive mucosa.

Q

S.A.: list and briefly describe the four general properties of immunity

A
  1. Specificity: the immune response is triggered by a specific antigen and defends against against only that antigen. 2. Versatility: The immune system can differentiate among hundred of millions of antigens that it might encounter during a normal life time. 3. Memory: the immune response following the second exposure to a particular antigen is stronger and lasts longer than before. 4. Tolerance: Some antigens do not elicit an immune response.

Q

Essay: Describe antigen presesntation:

A

Antigen presentation occurs when an antigen-glycoprotein, or antigen MGC protein, combination capable of activating T cells appears in a plasma membrane. T cells sensitive to this antigen are activated if they contact the antigen on the plasma membrane of the antigen-presenting cell.

Q

Essay: List and briefly describe the components of the lymphatic system.

A

The lymphatic system consists of (1) lymph, a fluid that resembles plasma but contains a much lower concentration of suspended proteins; (2) a network of lymphatic vessels, often called lymphatics, which begin in peripheral tissues and end at connections to veins; (3) an array of lymphoid tissues and lymphoid organs such as lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus scattered throughout the body; and (4) lymphocytes and smaller numbers of phagocytes and other cells such as dendritic cells. The lymphatic system is organized to provide specific defenses against a wide array of biological hazards and diseases.

epinephrine and norepinephrine

61
Q

Essay: Compare the structure and function of the arteries, veins, and capillaries.

A

Arteries are used to distribute oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. They have a narrower tunica intima but a larger tunica media because the smooth muscle, elastic fibers, and collagen fibers help endure the blood pressure.
Veins are used to collect waste and deoxygenated blood and bring it back to the right atrium. Veins have a larger tunica intima because they have less smooth muscle and are thus more easily collapsable. They also contain valves to help transport blood.
Capillaries connect arteries and veins and serve as the site of exchange of nutrients and waste. The capillary bed is promotes perfusion and are thus have extremely thin walls.

62
Q

Chemoreceptor reflexes respond to

A

pH, oxygen, carbon dioxide

63
Q

the most common congenital heart defect is:

A

ventricular septal defect

64

heart rate, stroke volume, peripheral resistance, and venous pressure.

65
Q

66
Q

Exchange between a blood vessel and the cells that surround it. can occur only in

A

capillaries

67
Q

Distinguish among efferent vessels, afferent vessels, and exchange vessels.

A

Efferent vessels carry blood away from the heart, afferent vessels carry blood away from the heart, and exchange vessels exchange nutrient, dissolved gases, and wastes between the blood and interstitial fluid.

68
Q

To defend blood volume against dehydration, the body-

A

accelerates reabsorption of water at the kidneys, increases water intake, experiences an increase in the blood colloidal osmotic pressure, and experiences a recall of interstitial fluids

75
Q

Essay: Identify the six structures that are vital to fetal circulation but cease to function at birth, and describe what becomes of these structures.

A

The six structures vital to fetal circulation are two umbilical arteries, one umbilical vein, the ductus venosus, the foramen ovale, and the ductus arteriosus. After birth, the foramen ovale closes and persists as the fossa ovalis, a shallow despression; the ductus arteriosus persists as the ligamentum arteriosum, a fibrous cord; and the umbilical vessels and ductus venosus persist throughout life as fibrous cords.

76
Q

Name the immediate and long-term problems related to hemorrhage.

A

The immediate problem related to hemorrhage is maintaining adequate blood pressure and peripheral blood flow. The long-term problems related to hemorrhage is to restore normal blood volume.

85
Q

Describe the pulmonary circuit

A

Wy are valves located in veins but not in arteries?

A

Valves are located in veins to prevent blood from flowing backward because venous pressure is too low to keep the blood moving back toward the heart.

A

an increase in cardiac output

94
Q

Essay: Compare a ventricular septal defect with tetralogy of Fallot.

A

Ventricular septal defects are abnormal openings between the left and right ventricles.
