steps in the inflammatory response

A

redness
heat

engulf antigens and present fragments on their cell surfaces to be recognized by T cells (B lymphs, macrophages, dendritic cells)

175
Q

allergies

A

the immune system overreacts to a harmless antigen

176
Q

autoimmune diseases

A

occurs when body’s self tolerance breaks down and the body produces auto-antibodies and sensitized T lymphs that attack its own tissues

188
Q

vital capacity

A

inspiratory reserve volume

A

forcibly inhaling too much over tidal volume

191
Q

residual air

A

air remains in lungs and can’t voluntarily be expelled

192

non respiratory air movements

A

cough and sneeze - clears debris
crying and laughing - emotionally induced
hiccups - sudden inspirations

193
Q

how oxygen is transported in blood

A

travels attached to hemoglobin and forms oxyhemoglobin in RBCs

194
Q

how carbon dioxide is transported in blood

A

transported in plasma as bicarbonate ion

195
Q

accessory digestive organs

teeth
salivary glands
pancreas
liver and galbladder

196
Q

how foodstuffs in digestive tract are mixed and moved along

make ATP; glucose in blood

202
Q

fats use in cell metabolism

A

provide reserve energy and protect/insulate body

203
Q

proteins use in cell metabolism

A

amino acids can make ATP as well

204
Q

metabolic roles of liver

A

bile production; emulsifier; “evil g words”

composition of normal urine

A

sodium, potassium, ammonia, bicarbonate ions, urea, uric acid, creatinine

206
Q

composition of abnormal urine

A

glucose, blood proteins, RBC, WBC, hemoglobin, bile

207
Q

ADH

A

prevents excess water loss in urine and increases water absorption

208
Q

aldosterone

A

regulates sodium and potassium by absorbing a chloride ion and secreting a potassium ion for every sodium ion absorbed

209
