5 general functions of the blood
- transportion of dissolved substances
-Regulating PH and ions
-restricting fluid loss at injury sites
-defending against toxins and pathogens
-stabilizing body temp.
Pathway of electrical conduction through the heart
- SA node
- AV node
-AV bundle - Bundle branches
-Purkinje fibers
P wave= depolarization of the atria
QRS complex= depolarization & contraction of the ventricle
T wave= repolarization of ventricles
4 components of the lymphatic system
- lymph
- lymphatic vessels
- lymphoid issues & organs
- lymphocytes & phagocytes
T cells= Destroys infected cells, foreign cells, or cancer cells
Cytotoxic= attack foreign cells & body cells infected by viruses
Memory= remain in the body to give “immunity”
Helper= stimulate the activation & function of T & B cells
Suppressor= Inhibit activation & function of T & B cells
B cells= responsible for humoral immunity b/c antibodies circulate body fluid (B cells activate T cells)
NK cells= patrolling of tissues (attack foreign cells, viruses, and cancer cells
Tonsils, MALT, and lymph node
- Lymphoid tissues= connective tissues dominated by lymphocytes
-Lymphoid nodules= contain lymphocytes densely packed in areolar tissues
- Tonsils= Help filter out germs that enter through the nose or mouth to protect the body
- MALT= protects the epithelia of the digestive, reproductive, and urinary system
Innate & Adaptive
innate immunity= does NOT distinguish one threat from another
- Present at birth
Adaptive= Protects against one type of bacterium or virus but not another
-Develops immunity to a specific pathogen after exposure
4 types (Adaptive immunity)
- Specificity= T or B cells responds only to a specific antigen & ignores the rest
- Versatility=body produces many types of lymphocytes
Clones its self to fight against antigens - Memory= lymphocytes will fight an infection
- Tolerance= Cell bodies have antigens
4 types (T cells)
- Cytotoxic= attacks cells infected by viruses/ cell-mediated immunity
- Memory= clone themselves to attack antigens
- Helper= Stimulate T cell & B cells
- Suppressor= Inhibits T cell & B cells
Primary response= takes time to develop, antigens activate B cells, antibody levels slowly rise
Secondary= Activates memory B cells, Lower antigens concentrations, secretes antibodies in massive quantities
Function of respiratory system
- Deliver oxygen to the blood and remove carbon dioxide from the blood
- Protect respiratory surfaces from dehydration, temp changes, and defend against pathogens
- Moving air to and from the exchange surfaces of the lungs along the respiratory passageways
Functional divisions of the respiratory system
- upper respiratory system= nose, nasal cavity, sinuses, pharynx
- Lower respiratory=larynx, trachea, bronchus, bronchioles, alveoli
- Conducting portion= warms, moistens air, and defends
- Respiratory= alveoli air pockets where gas exchange takes place
Trachea»bronchi»bronchioles»alveoli
- Deep in the lunges each bronchus divided into secondary & tertiary bronchi, which continues to branch to smaller airways called the bronchioles
Airflow from the trachea to the alveoli
Trachea»Primary bronchi»secondary bronchi»tertiary bronchi»bronchioles»alveoli
Quiet breathing
- Inhalation is active
- Exhalation is passive
Forced breathing
- Inhalation is active
- Exhalation is active; decreases volume of thoracic cavity
