24
Lymph nodes and where are they located
Cluster of lymph tissue that preform phagocytosis, lymphocytes and macrgocytes Located: cervical, inganal, thoracic and auxiliary
25
How does the spleen process old RBCs
By forming billy Rubin
26
What is hypoxemia and how do the kidneys compensate
Low o2 in blood. So kidneys secret erythropoietin to stimulate RBC
27
What blood vessels supply the myocardium
Both coronary arteries
28
What is the cardiac cycle
Atria contracts then ventricles
29
Sac surrounding the heart and what prevents friction rub
Pericardium and pericardium fluid
30
Path of blood flow
Lungs (right side) | Body (left side)
31
What prevents back flow of blood from the pulmonary artery and aorta into the ventricles
Semilunar valves. ( both pulmonary and aortic)
32
Normal heart sounds and what causes it
Lib dub ( s1 and s2) S1 ( closure of AV) S2 (closure of SV)
33
ANH
Atrial natriuretic hormone Atria releases ANH when heart is stretched - to stimulate kidneys - to eliminate water and sodium. -decreases bp and strain on heart
34
Electrical conduct through heart
SA node - AV node - bundle of his - perkunjie fibers
35
Systole
Contraction of heart
36
Diastole
Relaxation of heart
37
Arteriosclerosis
Hardening of arteries. Loss of elasticity
38
Endocarditis
Inflammation of inner lining of the heart
39
Hypothalamus
In brain above pituitary
40
Anterior/posterior Pituitary gland
In brain, hangs from hypothalamus (master gland)
41
Pineal gland
Brian
42
Thyroid gland
Neck
43
Parathyroid gland
On neck, behind the thyroid gland
44
Thymus gland
Upper thorax
45
Adrenal gland
Top of kidneys
46
Pancreas
Abdomen , behind stomach
47
Ovaries
Uterus
48
Testes
Scrotum
49
Hormones
Chemical messengers
50
What's the master gland
Pituitary gland
51
What are glucocorticoids
Cortisol , from adrenal cortex. Increases blood sugar and is an anti inflammatory
52
What are mineralocorticoids
Aldosterone in adrenal cortex. Effects electrolyte imbalance, sodium reabsorption and decreases potassium
53
What hormone increases the rate of cell division
Growth hormones
54
What hormone maintain normal blood pressure by maintaining blood volume
ADH and Aldosterone ADH reabsorbs water Aldosterone retains sodium
55
What hormone increases blood glucose
Glucagon (alpha cells)
56
What hormone decreases blood glucose
Insulin (beta cells) | Helps sugar be used for energy
57
What hormone increases and decreases blood calcium levels
Increase: PTH Decrease: calcitonin
58
How is body temp regulated
By the hypothalamus. Vasoconstriction : keeps heat Vasodilation: sweat and keeps cool
59
What layer of skin does mitosis takes place
Stratum germinative
60
2 types of sweat glands
Eccrine (regulates temp)(forehead, palms, feet) | Apocrine (under arm and genital area) ( stressful situations)
61
2 substances produced when uv rays strike the skin
Vit. D, melanin
62
Purpose of subcutaneous adipose tissue
Heat, energy, cushion
63
3 layers if skin
Epidermis Dermis SQ
64
Protein that thickens, waterproofs and protects skin
Keratin
65
What gives dermis strength
Collegen
66
Virulence
Ability for a pathogen to cause disease
67

Infections caused by a primary infection
70
Contagious
Ability to spread form one person to another
71
