Unit 2 Lab 4 Flashcards
where are antigens found
on surface of erythrocytes
what do antigens do?
produce an immune response
where are antibodies found
in plasma
what do antibodies do?
inhibit or strop the antigen and its cell
if you have type A blood what antibody do you have?
anti-B antibody
if you have type B blood what antibody do you have?
anti-A antibody
if you have type AB blood what antibody do you have?
none
if you have type O blood what antibody do you have?
both anti-A and anti-B antibodies
what is an Rh antigen?
another surface membrane molecule on erythrocyes
If you are Rh+ what does that mean?
there are Rh antigens on erythrocytes but the blood DOES NOT contain anti-Rh antibodies
if you are Rh- what does that mean?
you don’t have Rh antigen on erythrocyte and blood does not contain anti-Rh antibodies unless person is exposed to Rh antigen
how can a person be exposed to the Rh antigen?
childbirth, blood transfusions, sharing needles
what is RhoGAM?
given before and after delivery to prevent mother from making Rh antibodies
what are some functions of the respiratory system?
- provides for gas exchange and works with the cardiovascular system
- regulates blood pH -contains receptors for sense of smell
- filters air
- produces sounds
- rids the body of some water and heat through expired air
what are the main organs of the respiratory system
- nose
- pharynx
- larynx
- trachea
- bronchi
- lungs
what are the two parts to anatomical distinction?
upper and lower respiratory system
what Is in the upper respiratory system
nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, associated structures
what is in the lower respiratory system
larynx, trachea, bronchi, lungs
what are the two parts to physiological distinction?
the conducting zone and the respiratory zone
what happens in the conduction zone?
- filters, warms, and moistens air
- conducts that air into the lungs
what structures are in the conducting zone?
-nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, terminal bronchioles
what happens in the respiratory zone?
site of gas exchange
what structures are in the respiratory zone
respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, alveoli
what is the function of the nose
warms, humidifies and filters air
what is the nose composed of
bone (base) and hyaline cartilage (anterior)
what are the external nares in the nose?
opening for air to enter nasal cavity
what is the nasal cavity in the nose lined with
mucous membrane
what does the nasal septum do in the nose
separates right and left nasal cavity
what “malfunctions” stem from the nasal septum?
nosebleeds and deviated septums
what are the turbinates/conchae in the nose?
curved bony structures in nasal cavity
what are the three types of turbinates/conchae
superior, middle, inferior
what does the meatus in the nose do?
increases surface area and warms and humidifies air
what are the three types of meatuses?
superior, middle, and inferior
what is the hard palate in the nose?
bony, forms floor of nasal cavity
what are the internal nares in the nose
openings that lead into nasopharynx
what is the pharynx?
the throat
what are the three regions of the pharynx
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
where does the nasopharynx begin and end?
begins at internal nares and ends at soft palate
