Fibrinogen
Other than fatigue, what other factor would prevent you from holding a very heavy weight up for very long?
Blocking blood flow so that the oxygen is not delivered and waste products build up
What does desquamation mean? (how it is used)
Loss of epithelial cells from a surface
What word refers to the development of red blood cells, and where in the body does this process occur?
Erythropoiesis-bone marrow
What three factors were mentioned in lecture as contributing to arterial diastolic pressure?
- Heart Rate
- Systolic pressure/pulse pressure

What four factors during aerobic exercise contribute to the increase in venous return?
- Increased activity of the skeletal muscle pump
- Increased depth and frequency of inspiration
- Sympathetically mediated increase in venous tone
- Faster blood flow away from the arterioles
What two types of receptors are activated in muscles during exercise that send inputs into the medulla oblongata? What do each receptor type detect during exercise?
- Mechanoreceptors-contractions
2. Chemoreceptors-low O2, high metabolites
Describe the shape of a human red blood cell.
Biconcave disc
What is the advantage of not having a nucleus if you are a red blood cell?
more surface area
fold easier
more room for hemoglobin
In which ways can iron normally leave the body?
desquamation
menstral blood

- Folic Acid (Vitamin B9) needed to make thymine
2. Vitamin B12 (found in animal sources)
What hormone is needed to make red blood cells? What is the primary stimulus for its production?
Erythropoietin-decreased O2 to the kidney
What is hemostasis?
Stoppage of bleeding
What are the three steps of hemostasis in order?
- Vasoconstriction + contact stickiness
- Platelet plug
- Formation of blood clot (thrombus)
Other than thromboxane A2, what other chemical was mentioned in the video as being secreted by activated platelets and what is its effect?
Serotonin-causes vasodilation
Increasing heart rate would tend to
a. decrease diastolic pressure
b. decrease pulse pressure
c. increase diastolic pressure
d. increase pulse pressure
b. decrease pulse pressure
c. increase diastolic pressure
During intense aerobic exercise diastolic pressure
a. decrease
b. increases
c. stays the same
a. decrease
During intense muscle contraction total peripheral resistance

b. does not change
c. increases
c. increases
The resetting of the baroreceptors during exercise is due to
a. central command

What protein hydrolyses the fibrin clot?
Plasmin
What word means the breakdown of the clot?
fibrinolysis
What normal blood protein can activate plasminogen and is often used clinically to dissolve clots? (full name and abbreviation)
Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA)
What two chemicals were mentioned in the video as being released by healthy endothelial cells near a site of injury that can inhibit the formation of the platelet plug?
- NO2 (nitric oxide)
2. prostacyclin
What are the two phases of a respiratory cycle?
- Inspiration
2. Expiration
What are two other names for factor III?
- Tissue Factor (TF)
2. Thromboplastin
List the seven functions of the respiratory system as stated in the video.
- Provides O2
- Eliminates CO2
- Helps regulate pH
- Forms speech sounds (phonation)
- Defends against pathogens
- Regulates blood concentrations of chemicals
- Traps and dissolves blood clots arising from systemic veins
Why is it not dangerous to have a low number of small systemic venous clots break off and get lodged in lung arteries?
Because there are excess pulmonary arteries at rest, so it is not harmful to reduce blood flow to a few arteries in the lung
