Cell-Mediated
Conflicts between Rh typing of a mother and her child can be alleviated by this drug

This portion of our formed elements of our blood helps form clots
Platlets
A vaccine that is given to an individual before they have contracted the illness is known as this?
Active
This system helps to return various particles to the blood, transport fats, and act as a filter
Lymphatic
Most of the formed elements of our blood are made of this
Erythrocytes
B cells are involved in this kind of response during the third line of defense
Antibody-mediated
Purified antibodies that have been given to an individual after they have contracted the illness is known as this kind of vaccine

This branch of the cardiovascular system carries blood to the lungs and back.
Pulmonary
The smallest type of vasculature is known as a?

This branch of the cardiovascular system carries blood through the body
Systemic
When a heart muscle relaxes it is known as?
Diastolic
Second line of defense is known as?
Non-specific response
The most severe form of allergic reaction that can be lethal is known as this?
Anaphalaxis
Irregular and limited outbreaks
Sporadic
Blood type AB is also known as the?
Universal recipient
Sustained high blood pressure that can lead to many problems is also known as this?
Hypertension
Blood type O is also known as?
Universal donor
All deoxygenated blood from the body is first collected into this chamber of the heart
Right atrium
When a heart muscle contracts it is known as?
Systolic
These fibers conduct the electrical impulse of the heart throughout the ventricles
Purkinje
The powerful weapons of the immune system become unleashed against normal body cells and proteins
Autoimmune Disorders
Macrophages, T & B cells target the synovial membranes of synovial joints. Genetic predisposition, possible role of pathogens
Rheumatoid arthritis
Transplanting animal (or lab made) organs into humans
Xenotransplantation
Development of antibodies in one’s own DNA, can include arthritic component
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Conditions that lead to a drop in immune response
Deficient Immune disorders
Due to damage to small blood vessels, interfering with the delivery of blood components, will generally show poor resistance to infections
Poorly controlled diabetes
Acquired immune deficiency syndrom- from HIV which attacks macrophages and helper T cells
AIDS
Has historically been a worldwide public health concern
Resurgence of TB: Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
What is the cardiovascular systems two circuits?
Pulmonary circuit and Systemic circuit
The upper area of the R atrium, the pacemaker
Sinoatrial (SA) node
When artery walls thicken and lose elasticity
Arterioscherosis
Progressive narrowing of arterial lumen (opening) from cholesterol and fat deposits
Atherosclerosis
Pain in chest, arm or jaw resulting from heart muscle suffering from lack of O2
Angina pectoris
When part of the heart muscle dies due to coronary heart disease (CHD)
Myocardial infarction (MI or “heart attack”)
Platelets can lodge on the rough edges of atheroscierotic plaques forming clots, if a clot dislodges and floats away its called embolism. If an embolism settles out in a smaller artery of the brain, it interrupts blood flow to that region.
Stroke
This autoimmune disorder targets our own synovial joints
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This collects blood from all of the areas superior to the heart
Superior Vena Cava
