Final Flashcards
the amount that an object’s image is enlarged
magnification
the extent to which detail in an image is preserved during the magnifying process
resolving power
the degree to which image details stand out against
contrast
the circle of light you see when looking into the microscope
field of view
once an objective has been focused, you can rotate to another one and the image will remain in coarse focus, requiring only slight movement of the fine focus knob
parfocal
the distance through which you can move the specimen and still have it remain in focus
depth of field
the center of the field of view remains about the same for each objective
parcentral

parcentral

image orientation
upside down and backwards
a stable internal environment
homeostasis
straw-colored fluid that blood cells are suspended in
plasma
carries oxygen-depleted blood to the capillary beds of the lungs, where oxygen is loaded and where excess carbon dioxide is unloaded
pulmonary circuit
takes oxygen-rich blood from the heart and conveys it to the rest of the body’s capillary beds, where oxygen is unloaded and excess carbon dioxide is picked up
systemic circuit
connects two sets of capillary beds
portal vein
the clumping of erythroctes
agglutination
the force that the blood exerts on the walls of the arteries
blood pressure
veins use these to prevent the backflow of blood away from the heart
valves
the primary pacemaker of the heart located in the right atrium that functions independently of the nervous system, firing rhythmically. Every time it fires in initiates a message to contract
sinoatrial node
the size of the thorax and the pleural sacs decreases, the pressure in the lungs increases, and air flows out of the bod down its concentration gradient
positive pressure exhalation
when the thoracic cavity expands during inspiration, first the pressure outside the body is now higher than that in the lungs, and assuming the connecting ventilatory ducts are not blocked, air flows into the lungs
negative pressure inhalation
the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during breathing. it normally varies from a minimum at rest to a maximum during strenuous exercise
tidal volume
the volume of air you can voluntarily inhale after inhalation of the tidal volume
forced inhalation volume
the volume of air you can voluntarily exhale after an exhalation of the tidal volume
forced exhalation volume
the volume of air that cannot be exhaled from the lungs
residual volume
tidal volume + forced inhalation volume + forced exhalation volume
vital capacity
stretch receptors in the ventilatory ducts
chemoreceptors
receptors for chemicals such as O2, CO2, and hydrogen ions
chemoreceptors
the movement of gases in the respiratory system
inhalation
the movement of gases out of the respiratory system
exhalation
the rhythmical contraction of skeletal muscles
breathing
percent packed red blood cell volume
hematocrit
types of blood vessels
- arteries
- arterioles
- capillaries
- venules
- veins
- receive blood from heart
- deliver blood to more numerous muscular arteries
- maintain blood pressure between contractions of the heart
Elastic arteries
- deliver blood to more numerous and smaller arterioles
2. regulate blood flow to organs
Muscular arteries
- deliver blood to more numerous and smaller capillaries
- regulate peripheral resistance
- precapillary sphincters of smooth muscle regulate blood flow into particular capillary beds
Arterioles
- exchange dissolved gases, nutrients, wastes, etc. with fluid surrounding cells (interstitial fluid)
- form interstitial fluid
Capillaries
- drain blood into fewer and larger veins
2. serve as a blood reservoir
Venules
- drain blood into fewer and larger veins, and finally back to heart
- serve as a blood reservoir
Veins
contain hemoglobin, which transports oxxygen, and carbonic anhydrase, which romotes transport of carbon dioxide
erythrocytes
white blood cells (leukocytes)
- neutrophils
- eosinophils
- basophils
- lymphocytes
- monocytes
leave the blood early in an inflammation to become phagocytes (cells that eat bacteria and debris)
neutrophils
phagocytosis of antigen-antibody complexes; numbers are elevated during allergic reaction
eosinophils
granules contain a substance (histamine) that makes blood vessels leaky and a substance (heparin) that inhibits blood clotting
basophils
perform many functions central to immunity
lymphocytes
leave the blood to form phagocytic cells called macrophages
monocytes
theh state of being aware of the things around you, your responses, and your own thoughts
consciousness
carry messages from receptors to the spinal cord and brain
sensory neurons
carry messages from the CNS to effectors
motor neurons
muscles or glands that respond to stimuli
effectors
control skeletal muscles
somatic motor neurons
control smooth muscles, cardiac muscle, and glands
autonomic motor neurons
a junction between two neurons (or between a neuron and an effector) that are separated by a small gap)
chemical synapse
the function of the interneurons and the processing of messages received from receptors via sensory neurons and the activation of the appropriate motor neurons
integration
knowledge of the position and movement of the various body parts
proprioception
the particular sensation that results from the stimulation of a particular receptor
modality
receptors for fine touch and low-frequency vibration
Meissner’s corpuscles
receptors for pressure and high-frequency vibration
Pacinian corpuscles
Before the conscious mind receives a sensation, it is assigned back to its source
projection
it allows the conscious mind to perceive the body as part of the world around it
projection/phantom pain
eye is nearsighted
myopia
caused when one of the transparent surfaces of the eye is not uniformly curved in all planes
astigmatism
farsighted
hyperopia
objects appear smaller and smaller
presbyopia
receptors sensitive not only to light intensity but also to particular groups of wavelengths of light, which the brain interprets as color)
photoreceptors
a voluntary response to the reception of a stimulus
reaction
an involuntary response to the reception of a stimulus
reflex
connect the sensory and motor neurons
interneuron
each pience of information received by a receptor
stimulus
the ability to discern numbers or letters at a certain distance
visual acuity
the study of tissues
histology
structure of epithelial tissue
- squamous (flat
- cubodial
- columnar
- can have on layer of cells (simple) or two or more (stratified)
structure of connective tissue
- fibers embedded in ground substance
- collagen (tough, flexible, inelastic)
- elastic (stretch when pulled)
- contain blood cells
structure of muscle tissue
- cells can shorten and cause change in position of body parts
- cellular, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth
- cells stuch together and in direct communication
structure of nervous tissue
impulses through nervous system, cell body, axon, dendrite - within spinal cord
functions of epithelial tissue
- protection and transport
2. sensory reception and maintenance of body’s gametes carry on rapid cell division
functions of connective tissue
- cell division in adult
- loose connective (fill spaces between other tissues)
- make up skin
- prevent wall from closing on lumen
- bone tissue makes up bone
functions of muscle tissue
conscious mind can order muscles to contract
unconscious > involuntary
functions of nerous tissue
- point to point transmission of information
2. accessory cells help neurons function
