Synarthroses
Increase in intraocular pressure which may develop if the drainage of aqueous humor is blocked. As fluid accumulates intraocular pressure increase and may damage blood vessels supplying photoreceptor cells and can result in blindness
Glaucoma
Why is the optic disc referred to as the blind spot?
There are no photoreceptors there so we cannot see anything in that area of the eye
What role do the suspensory ligaments and ciliary muscles play in the process of accommodation?
Ciliary muscles and suspensory ligaments work together to change the shape of the lens, and thus enable objects near, far and in between to be focused on the retina for sharp vision.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide carrying cell
RBC
Helps form a clot to stop bleeding
Platlets
Another names for WBC
Leukocyte
Any abnormal increase in RBC
Polycythemia
Comprises 20-25% of all WBC
Lympocyte
A horseshoe-shaped nucleus; cytoplasm has no visible granules
Monocyte
Least numerous leukocyte
Basophil
A deficiency in number of RBCs or decreased content of hemoglobin in the blood
Anemia
Cell involved in a response to parasitic worms or allergies
Eosinophils
Blood test that measures the percentage of total blood volume made up of RBCs
Hematocrit test
Cold solution: there is a ______ in force and rate of contractions because frogs are cold blooded and their metabolic rate is impacted by their environment
Decrease
Hot solution: there is a ______ in force and rate of contractions because frogs are cold blooded and their metabolic rate is impacted by their environment
Heat increases muscle activity and ion movement, more fluid membrane (increases motility)
Increase
Why does blood pressure and pulse rate change when posture changed from reclining to immediately standing up?
Gravity causes blood to collect in the legs and belly. Blood pressure drops because there is less blood flowing back up to the heart.
Baroreceptors in the heart and neck sense this lower pressure and tell the heart to beat faster to bring the pressure back to homeostasis
High blood pressure
Hypertension
Long term high pressure on arteries can cause health problem such as heart disease
Prolonged hypertension
High systolic and low diastolic blood pressure (high pulse pressure)
Effect of “Hardening of Arteries”
Increase intrathoracic pressure which initiates a sequence of rapid changes which decreases venous return on the heart and peripheral venous pressure has increased (reduces cardiac output)
Valsalva
Which regions of the pharynx are also common to the digestive tract?
Oropharynx and laryngopharynx
Trachea is composed of ciliated pseudstratified epithelium. How is this epithelium specialized for its protective function in the respiratory tract?
Contains goblet cells
Traps dust and particles
Cilia carries it up and out of trachea and bronchial tubes
C-shaped cartilage that gives support and flexibility to the trachea. What type of cartilage is this band?
Hyaline cartilage
What type of epithelium is found in the alveoli? What is the function of this epithelium?
Simple squamous
Diffusion of gas
