Q

List the 3 main functions of the lymphatic system

A

1) take up excess tissue fluid and return it to bloodstream (fluid balance)
2) absorb fats from digestive tract and transport them to bloodstream (absorb fats)
3) help defend the body against disease (immunity)

16
Q

describe inflammatory response

A

trauma triggers white blood cells to release chemicals, which cause vasodilation increasing blood flow to injured part of the body.

17
Q

when you put ice on trauma

A

vasoconstriction-reducing blood flow.

18
Q

general mechanism of B and T cells

A

B cells provide antibody-mediated immunity (humoral immunity)—produce antibodies that attack pathogens.
T cells provide cell-mediated immunity–attack cells directly

19
Q

2 stimuli required for activation of lymphocytes

A

specific antigen and activating chemicals

20
Q

T Cells provide

A

cell-mediated immunity

21
Q

T cells are produced in the __ __ mature in

A

in the bone marrow , Thymus

22
Q

capillary exchange..what mechanism is responsbile?

A

diffusion

23
Q

factors effecting capillary exchange

A

concentration gradient, pressure gradient

24
Q

the respiratory system functions as a

A

air distributor and gas exchanger

25
Q

**alveoli are sacs that serve as

A

gas exchangers

26
Q

the respiratory is divided into 2 divisions

A
  1. upper respiratory tract

2. Lower respiratory tract

27
Q

Upper respiratory tract organs are located __ of the thorax

A

outside

28
Q

lower respiratory tract organs are located __ the thorax

A

within

29
Q

respiratory function (physiology includes)

A
external respiration (breathing)
transport of gases by the blood
internal respiration (cellular respiration)
30
Q

another word for breathing

A

pulmonary ventilation

31
Q

two phases of respiratory cycle

A

Inspiration-breathing in

expiration-breathing out

32
Q

pulmonary ventilation mechanism

A
  • rib cage expands diaphragm pulls down lungs expand volume up pressure down air flows in (INSPIRATION)
    • lungs relax volume down pressure up air flows out.
33
Q

partial pressure is the

A

pressure exerted by a single gas in a mixture of gases or a liquid

34
Q

gas exchange with blood takes place by

A

diffusion

35
Q

the partial gradient is determined by the

A

concentration gradient
