16
Q

medulla obongatta

A

-primary respiratory control center
-sends signals to muscles that control respiration in order to cause respiration to occur

17
Q

pons

A

-underneath the medulla
-controls rate and speed of involunatry respiration

18
Q

2 main regions of the pons

A
  1. apneuistic center
  2. pneumotaxic center
19
Q

2 main regions of the medulla oblongata

A
  1. ventral respiratory group
  2. dorsal respiratory group
20
Q

4 mechanisms of protection of the respiratory system

A
  1. muscous + lysozymes in nasal cavity
  2. mucociliary escalator
  3. surfactant
  4. aleviolar macrophage
21
Q

function of the mucociliary escalator

A

moves mucus toward pharynx

22
Q

function of surfactant

A

-helps decrease the surface tension within alevioli and keeps them open
-sign of maturity

23
Q

3 parts of the pharynx

A
  1. nasopharynx
  2. oropharynx
  3. laryngopharynx
24
Q

true or false? the apneuistic and pneumotaxic centers work against eachother together in order to control respiratory rate?

25
pneumotaxic center
decreases tidal volume
26
apneuistic center
increases tidal volume -controls intensity of breathing
27
ventral respiratory group
stimulates expiratory movements
28
dorsal respiratory group
stimulates inspiratory movements
29
lymph
nearly colorless, alkaline fluid that occupies the space between all cells in the body
30
intersitial fluid
seeps in and out through the walls of very small vessels called capillaries
31
3 primary functions of the lymphatic system
1. transports proteins lost by capillary seepage and puts them back into the bloodstream 2. body's immune response 3. pathway for absorption of fats into bloodstream
32
function of lymph nodes
lymph nodes act as filters , clean the lymph before returning it back into the blood
33
charles richard drew
researched blood transfusions
34
what type of blood can type B be transfused with?
type b or type o
35
what type of blood can type AB be transfused with
they are universal receivers
36
what type of blood can type O be transfused with?
-only from people with type O -they are the universal donors
37
what is Rh factor?
-refers to the presence or absence of substance called an "agglutinogen" in red blood cells -the person will be Rh positive if they have the reaction
38
what happens if you mix Rh pos and Rh neg
blood clumping can occur which can be life-threatening
39
how can doctors stop blood clumping
they use a methods that involves cross-matching blood samples in order to check for reaction of Rh before tranfusion
