Q

intrinsic vs extrinsic path of blood clotting

A
  • intrinsic is slower, activators within in contact with blood

18
Q

which leukocyte promotes inflammation

A

basophils

19
Q

which leukocyte goes after parasites

A

eosinophils

20
Q

role of spleen as a lymphatic organ

A

largest one, filters blood and allows B and T cells to function, macrophages also perform immune response and get rid of old RBCs

21
Q

phagocytes and the steps

A

Neutrophils and macrophages

adherence, ingestion, digestion, and killing

22
Q

3 steps of inflammation

A

three basic stages:
(1) vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels
(2) emigration (movement) of phagocytes from the blood into interstitial fluid
(3) tissue repair

23
Q

adaptive vs innate immunity

A
24
Q

2 types of adaptive immunity

A
  • CELL MEDIATED
  • ANTIBODY MEDIATED

*he;per t cells present in both

25
Q

what is the only cell lacking MHC protiens?

A

erythrocytes
RBCs

26
Q

dendritic cells, macrophages, and B cells

A

APCs

27
Q

opsonins

A

molecules that bind to pathogens, such as bacteria or viruses, and make them more susceptible to phagocytosis by cells of the immune system, such as macrophages and neutrophils. By binding to pathogens, opsonins can enhance the recognition and engulfment of the pathogens by phagocytic cells, leading to their destruction. Some examples of opsonins include antibodies (IgG and IgM)

28
Q

passive artificial immunity provides

A

immediate but temporary protection against an antigen.

29
Q

Adaptive immunity includes ______.

A

cell-mediated immunity and antibody-mediated immunity

30
Q

____ promote the synthesis of antiviral proteins that prevent viruses from replicating inside a cell.

part of the ___ line of defence of the ____ immune response

A

interferons

2nd line

innate immunity

31
Q

once B cells have been activates and start cloning, which new cells are the ones produces and releasing antibodies?

A

the new plasma cells being made q

32
Q

whcish Ig is most abundant and what does it do

A

IgG: increases phag, can move from mom thru placenta to fetus

33
Q

which antibodies appear following antigen exposure for the first time

A

IgM then IgG = primary response

34
Q

what causes ANP to be stimulated

A

if the blood pressure is higher than normal

-ANP will cause more Na+ and H2O to be excreted to lower blood volume and BP

  • opp of ADH which acts to increase water levels and BP
35
Q

when is renin stimulated

A

when either BP is low or Na+ is low

  • it will stimulate aldosterone which causes Na+ and H2O reabsorption to increase BP and Na+
36
Q

what controls Na+ levels

A

ADH, ANP, aldosterone

37
Q

most abundant mineral in body

A

calcium

38
Q
  1. An increase in exhalation of carbon dioxide _____ blood pH; a decrease in exhalation of CO2 _____ blood pH.
A

increases

decreases

39
Q
  • ENS has neurons arranged in 2 plexuses:
    o Myenteric plexus: ?
    o Submucosal plexus: ?
A
  • motility
  • secretion
40
Q

ICCs function in digestion

A

release waves to hopefully trigger APs that will cause contraction of the smooth muscle of GI tract

41
Q

peristalsis vs segmentation

A
  • Peristalsis: successive contractions to move contents forward (smooth movement)
  • Segmentation: alternating contractions that MIX the luminal contents
42
Q

what does saliva breakdown

A

CARBOHYDRATES

43
