Midterm 3 Flashcards
Fight and flight responses are regulated by the
sympathetic nervous system
the brain and spinal cord are part of the
central nervous system
the left and right cerebral hemispheres are connected by the
corpus callosum
total number of cranial nerves
12
major blood vessels that open to the left atrium
pulmonary veins
cerebrospinal fluid is produced in the
choroid plexus
transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide via the bloodstream
respiratory gas transport
this type of conduction is seen in myelinated axons due to the nodes of ranvier
saltatory conduction
cells that undergo mitosis to replace receptor cells
basal cells
this division of the peripheral nervous system consists of neurons in the enteric plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract
enteric nervous system
this volume is not included in computing the vital capacity
RV
it is the alternate expansion and elastic recoil of an artery with each heartbeat and may be felt in an artery that lies near the surface or over a hard tissue
pulse
the first step for a sensation to occur
a stimulus must occur and activate a receptor
occurrence of normal platelets in the blood per cubic millimeters
250,000 - 500,000
the roots of the spinal nerves are referred to as
cauda equina
organ that connects the larynx with the primary bronchi
trachea
cardiovascular center that helps regulate heart rate and stroke volume is located in what part of the brain
medulla oblongata
the primary muscle used in silent respiration
respiratory diaphragm
structure that detects static equilibrium
utricle and saccule
major blood vessel that leaves left ventricle
aorta
normal blood pH
7.35 - 7.45
of the three small ossicles of the ear, which one overlies the oval window in the labyrinth
stapes
type of tongue papillae that are sensitive to touch but contain no taste buds
filiform papillae
amount of serous fluid inside the pericardial cavity
100mL
lymphoid organ located in the upper part of the mediastinum behind the sternum and upwards to the root of the neck
thymus
the tympanic membrane is a part of the
external ear
CSF circulates between the
arachnoid mater and pia mater
carbon dioxide is primarily transported by the blood by
transported by plasma in the form of bicarbonate ion
blood type whose plasma does not contain any antibodies
blood types AB
muscle/s use in forceful expiration
- serratus posterior muscles
- internal intercoastal muscle
- anterior abdominal muscle
the resting membrane potential is
negative 70 mV
structure/s that forms the root of the lung
- pulmonary artery
- pulmonary vein
- primary bronchus
plasma proteins responsible in regulating osmotic pressure
albumin
the presence and movement of the laryngeal cartilage that is responsible for us to talk
arytenoid
structure of the labyrinth that is concerned with balance
semicircularis canals
considered to be a slowly adapting receptors
pain
cervical nerves have the ff number of pairs
8
the chorda tympani nerve that carries taste information from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue is a branch of which cranial nerve
facial nerve (CN VII)
heart valve found between the right atria and ventricle
tricuspid valve
the anterior chamber of the eye, located between the iris and cornea, is filled with a clear and watery liquid
aqueous humor
