[FINALS] Respiratory & Lymphatic Flashcards
How many lobes does a right lung have?
Three
It is a common passageway for both the respiratory and digestive systems.
Pharynx
What are the three regions of PHARYNX?
Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, and Laryngopharynx
A flap cartilage located in the throat behind the tongue and in front of the larynx.
Epiglottis
Small air sacs
Alveoli
Movement of air into the lungs
Inspiration
Specialized epithelial cells that secrete mucus
Goblet cells
A ridge of cartilage where the trachea divides into two bronchi
Carina
A disease in which the alveoli in the lungs become enlarged due to damage by smoking or other pollutants
Emphysema
Principal organ of respiration
Lungs
It reduces the surface tension in alveoli by 10-fold
Surfactant
Number of breaths per minute
Respiratory Rate
Areas of the respiratory system where gas exchange does not occur or take place.
Dead space
A cranial nerve responsible for sense of smell.
Olfactory Nerve (CN 1)
Separates the nasal cavity into left and right halves.
Nasal Septum
Known as the “Voice box”
Larynx
Vibration of the vocal folds as air moves past them
Sound
Landmark for X-rays
Carina
Is it true that there are approximately 200 million alveoli
300 million
Carry the deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
Bronchial Vein
Provides a structural basis of the immune system
Lymph
Simplest Lymphoid organs
Tonsils
The ability of the white blood cells to move to tissues that release certain chemicals
Chemotaxis
It activates macrophages and natural killer cells
Interferons
A type of lymphocyte that are responsible for antibody-mediated immunity
B cells
One of the classes of antibodies that functions as antigen-binding receptors on B cells
lgD
A response that results from the first exposure to an antigen
Primary response
Found in the wall of the distal portion of the small intestine
Peyer’s Patches
It is in the left superior side of the abdomen
Spleen
A limited reservoir for blood
Spleen
The ability to resist the harmful effects of microorganisms and other foreign substances
Immunity
Give 3 Chemical Mediators of the Innate Immunity
Surface chemicals, Histamine, Kinins, Interferons, Complement, Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes
A second line of defense that is a systematic response initiated by pyrogens
Fever
Large phagocytic cells
Macrophages
A macrophages found in the CNS
Microglia
B cells are processed in ___________
Bone marrow
A disease from a damaged adrenal glands result in low blood pressure and weakness, lowering the body’s ability to respond to stress
Addison’s disease
A single-celled microorganism that live in soil, water, and air in which it may also inhabit the body
Bacteria
Two types of immunization against infectious disease
Active and passive immunization
It is caused by the human immunodefiency virus (HIV)
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
A suppression of the immune system’s response to an antigen
Tolerance
Give the five classes of antibodies
lgG, 1gM, lgA,lgE, and lgD
