Exam 2 Review (Blood Vessels, Lymphatic & Immunity, Respiratory) Flashcards
What hormones would cause an increase in blood pressure?
- Angiotensin II
- Aldosterone
- ADH
- Epinephrine/Norepinephrine
Where is the cardiovascular center located?
In the medulla oblongata
The ratio of RBC to plasma volume depends mostly on what?
blood viscosity - the thickness or resistance to flow of blood
This is a tube where air and food crosses
pharynx
What is the circulation time in a resting person?
The time required for a drop of blood to pass from the right atrium, back to the left atrium: 1 minute
What is the volume of blood that flows through any tissue in a given time period?
blood flow
The pressure-driven movement of fluids and solutes from blood (capillaries) into interstitial fluid is called
Filtration
The alternate route of blood flow to a body part through an anastomosis is called
Collateral Circulation (Channels)
The largest factor that promotes reabsorption of fluids, into blood, from the interstitial fluids is
Blood Colloid Osmotic Pressure (AKA Oncotic Pressure)
What is the most important capillary exchange method?
Diffusion
The opening to the pharynx from the oral cavity is called
Oral Fauces (Fissure)
Which type of blood vessel returns blood into the heart?
Veins
Know the components of a closed circulatory system
- Heart
- Blood
- Blood Vessels
Blood is contained inside the blood vessels, remaining separate from the interstitial fluid
What’s “articulation” during sound emission?
the movement of the tongue, lips, jaw, and other speech organs in order to make speech sounds
What do veins have that arteries lack?
valves
In which animals are blood and interstitial fluid (lymph) mix together?
Invertebrates (ex: mollusks (ex: snails, octopus) and arthropods (ex: insects, crustaceans) )
Functions of the cardiovascular system (5)
- circulate blood through the body (maintain blood pressure)
- transport the respiratory gases (O2 and CO2)
- provide cells with nutrients
- remove metabolic waste products to the excretory organs for disposal
- protect body against disease and infection
The fluid found in the lymphatic system, that sometimes contain leukocytes is called:
lymph
Blood exerts pressure, called ______________, on the walls of the ______________
- blood pressure (when contracting: systole; when relaxing: diastole)
- arteries
Know areas where pulse can be felt? (9)
- temporal artery
- facial artery
- common carotid artery
- brachial artery
- radial artery
- femoral artery
- popliteal artery
- posterior tibial artery
- dorsalis pedis artery
This class of antibodies is mainly found in sweat, tears, breast milk and GI secretions.
IgA
T cells secrete this toxin that is used to fragment DNA.
Perforin (lymphotoxin)
Know how oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported in the blood.
dissolved and bound to Hemoglobin (Hb)
Which part of the lymph node does not contain any lymphatic nodules?
- inner cortex
- medulla
What is the function of the spleen?
removes old or damaged RBCs
What are the signs of inflammation?
- redness
- heat
- swelling
- pain
- loss of function
When B and T cells are fully developed and mature, they are known to be?
Where do B and T cells mature?
- immunocompetent
- B cells remain in bone marrow to mature
- T cells travel to thymus to mature
What induces production of a specific antibody?
- When antigen comes in contact with B cell, it causes B cell to clone, forming plasma cells, releasing antibodies into bloodstream
- each B cell produces a single species of antibody
What type of cells can lymphocytes recognize?
Antigens (foreign cells)
What is the passageway for air, food and water?
Pharynx
Which structure prevents food or water from entering the trachea?
epiglottis
Pitch is controlled by what?
the degree of tension in the vocal folds (chords) of the larynx
These are triangular pieces of mostly hyaline cartilage located at the posterior and superior border of the cricoid cartilage
arytenoid cartilages
What is located anterior to the esophagus and carries air to the bronchi?
trachea
