Q

The pathway of blood flow through the heart

A
  1. Deoxygenated blood from the body enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cavae.
  2. The blood then flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle.
  3. The right ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk, which carries it to the lungs.
  4. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen and drops off carbon dioxide.
  5. The now oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium of the heart through the pulmonary veins.
  6. From the left atrium, the blood flows into the left ventricle.
  7. The powerful left ventricle pumps the oxygenated blood out through the aortic valve and into the aorta, which distributes it to the rest of the body.
  8. The cycle then repeats, with the deoxygenated blood returning to the right atrium to start the journey through the heart again! 🔁

Q

The definition and formula for determining cardiac output.

A

Definition:
Cardiac Output (CO) = The total volume of blood pumped by the left ventricle per minute 🩸

Formula:
Cardiac Output = Stroke Volume × Heart Rate

Example Breakdown:

White Blood Cell Creation

A

Origin: Red Bone Marrow

Process: Hematopoiesis

Initial Types:

70-80% become T lymphocytes

Remaining become B lymphocytes

The red bone marrow is where stem cells divide and develop into different types of blood cells, including white blood cells.

90
Q

Antigen

A

presenting cells (APCs) like macrophages and dendritic cells - they find foreign invaders and show them to other immune cells.

91
Q

B cells

A

these make antibodies to attack specific germs. Some B cells become memory B cells that remember past infections.

92
Q

purpose of white blood cells

A

the white blood cells work together to recognize threats, coordinate the immune response, and destroy anything that doesn’t belong in your body!

93
Q

Helper T cells

A

Helper T cells - they help activate and coordinate the immune response.

94
Q

Cytotoxic T cells

A

they directly attack and kill infected or cancerous cells.

95
Q

Memory T cells

A

they remember past infections so the immune system can respond faster next time.

96
Q

types of T cells

A

helper
cytotoxic
memory

97
Q

Plasma cells

A

these are activated B cells that pump out lots of antibodies.

98
Q

Natural killer cells (NKCs)

A

they can directly destroy infected or cancerous cells.

99
Q

The differences between cell-mediated and anti-body mediated immunity.

A

Cell-mediated uses T cells to directly attack threats

Antibody-mediated uses B cells to produce antibodies that tag threats for destruction

100
Q

The types of adaptive immunity.

A
  • Naturally acquired active immunity
  • Naturally acquired passive immunity
  • Artificially acquired active immunity
  • Artificially acquired passive immunity
101
Q

Naturally acquired active immunity

A

This happens when you get exposed to a pathogen and your body mounts an immune response, creating memory cells (p.78)

For example, getting the flu and then being immune to that strain in the future

102
Q

Naturally acquired passive immunity

A

This is when antibodies are passed from mother to child, either through the placenta or breastmilk

This provides short-term protection for the baby

103
Q

Artificially acquired active immunity

A

This is when you get a vaccine, which exposes your body to a weakened or inactivated pathogen

Your body then builds immunity without getting the full-blown illness

104
Q

Artificially acquired passive immunity

A

This is when you get an injection of antibodies, like gamma globulin (p.79)

This provides short-term protection but doesn’t create long-lasting immunity

105
Q

Vascular Spasm 🚧

A

Vascular Spasm 🚧
- Blood vessel constricts
-Reduces blood flow to injury site
- Smooth muscle contracts
