converts substances into usable forms
detox alcohol and drugs
makes bile

50
Q

basic function of gallbladder

A

concentrates and stores bile

51
Q

basic function of pancreas (exocrine)

A

produce and release enzymes into duodenum for digestion

52
Q

basic function of pancreas (endocrine)

A

produce and release hormones into blood

53
Q

disorder of pancreas

A

diabetes mellitus

54
Q

upper respiratory tract

A

nose, pharynx, larynx

55
Q

lower respiratory tract

A

trachea, bronchial tree, lungs

56
Q

erythrocytes

A

adult RBCs, no nucleus, kamikaze O2 transporters

57
Q

reticulocytes

A

young RBCs with nucleus, lose nuc when mature

58
Q

neutrophils

A

phagocytes, reach infection first

59
Q

eosinophils

A

responsible for parasitic infections and allergic reactions

60
Q

basophils

A

responsible for allergic and antigen responses

61
Q

t-lymphocytes

A

directly attack infected cells, no antibodies

62
Q

b-lymphocytes

A

produce antibodies that bind to pathogen

63
Q

monocytes

A

phagocytes, finish job started by neutrophils, “vacuum cleaner”

64
Q

hemostasis (vasoconstriction)

A

smooth muscle in vessel walls contracts & restricts blood flow, platelets accumulate and secrete serotonin to prolong contraction

65
Q

hemostasis (platelet plug formation)

A

collagen in tissue attracts more platelets and they accumulate in the damaged area, blocks the opening in blood vessel

66
Q

hemostasis (coagulation)

A

prothrombin is in blood, PA is released by platelets and damaged tissue, PA & Ca2+ turn prothrombin –> thrombin which turns fibrinogen –> fibrin which gauzes up on the cut to form good clot

67
Q

hemostasis (final steps)

A

after clot forms fibrin contracts, fibroblasts migrate to area and form new connective tissue to repair damage, as healing occurs clot is dissolved thru fibroblasts

68
Q

type a blood

A

rbc: A agglutinogens
plasma: anti B agglutinins

69
Q

type b blood

A

rbc: B agglutinogens
plasma: anti A agglutinins

70
Q

type ab blood

A

rbc: A&B agglutinogens
plasma: no agglutinins

71
Q

type o blood

A

rbc: no agglutinogens
plasma: A&B agglutinins

internal wall btwn atria

84
Q

interventricular septum

A

internal wall btwn ventricles

85

A

btwn R atrium and R ventricle

88
Q

bicuspid av valve

A

btwn L atrium and L ventricle

89
Q

A

low O2 blood from body comes in from the sup and inf vena cava to the right atrium, thru the tricuspid valve, into the right ventricle, thru pulmonary sl valve, into the pulmonary artery to the lungs

94
