Heart Flashcards
Syndrome due to human human immunodeficiency virus infection
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
The process in which. Platelets stick to endothelial cells
Adhesion
Process in which additional platelets stick to endothelial cells and platelets
Aggregation
Principal proteins in blood plasma
Albumin
Inappropriately severe immune reaction to an otherwise harmless substance
Allergy
Proteins made by B cells to fight infection
Antibodies
Additive that prevents blood clotting
Anticoagulant
Markers On the surface of foreign cells substance that provokes an immune response
Antigens
Artery leaving the heart at the left ventricle supplying the systemic circulation
Aorta
The atrioventricular valves
Aortic semilunar valve
Largest blood vessels carry blood away from the heart
Arteries
Smaller blood vessels carry blood away from the heart
Arterioles
Upper chambers of the heart
Atria
Condition in which the immune system attacks the bodies own tissue
Auto immunity
Antibody producing cells
B cells
Prominent vein in the anti-cubital fossa
Basilic vein
Type of granulocyte
Basophils
The left atrioventricular valve
Bicuspid valve
Helper T cell
CD4+ cells
T-cell mediated immunity
Cellular immunity
Another Prominent vein of the anti-cubital fossa
Cephalic vein
Common pathway
Common pathway
Proteins that form of the immune response
Complement
Artery supplying the heart muscle
Coronary arteries
Chemical messengers that include interferons and interleukins
Cytokines
Lymphocytes that recognize antigens indirectly destroy both foreign cells and infected host cells
Cytotoxic T cells
Relaxation portion of the cardiac cycle
Diastole
Condition in which blood clots abnormally in the circulatory system
(DIC) dissminated intravascular coagulation
Ions in the plasma or interstitial fluid
Electrolytes
Inner layer of the heart
Endocardium
Type of phagocytic granulocyte
Esoinophols
Outer layer of the heart
Epicardium
Red blood cells
Erythrocyte
One of the two pathways in coagulation
Extrinsic pathway
Fibrous is plasma protein that forms clots
Fibrin
Breakdown products of fibrin which can be Monitored clinically
Fibrin degradation products (FDPs)
Inactive form of fibrin the clotting proteins
Fibrinogen
Process in which fronting is broken down slowly prevents blood clots from growing and problematic
Fibrinolysis
Cellular portion of the blood
Formed elements
Neutrophils
Eosinophils
Basophils
Granulocytes
Regulators of the immune response
Helper T cells
See major histocompatibility complex
Humans leukocyte antigens (HLAS)
