25
these have only one layer of the epithelial cells (tunica intima)
capillaries
26
mechanisms that control capillary blood control
1) Nervous control (symp nervous system) 2) Local control 3) reflex cardiovascular control
27
most abundant receptor in the capillary blood nervous (symp) control, causes internal smooth muscle to contract and puts pressure on the blood
alpha 1
28
action of the sympathetic nervous system
maintain high blood pressure in the major arteries of the body -this guarantees constant blood flow to heart and brain that need it most
29
when the symp NS is stimulated the alpha 1 nerves will shut down to maintain______________
peripheral resistance, high arterial BP and flow to the heart.
30
inhibitory para sympathetic receptors
inhibitory- inhibit closing
31
inhibitory, however they have no connections to the sympathetic nervous system. They are sensitive to epi and norepi stimulating in the blood.
Beta 1
32
stopping sensation of blood flow to tissue
ischemia
33
abnormally increased blood flow to tissue
hyperemia
34
involved with the CNS, helps BP to increase and help maintain high flow to the heart and brain. involves two major receptors
reflex cardiovascular control
35
monitor blood pressure | - in carotid and sinus
baroreceptor
36
monitor chemicals
chemoreceptor
37
anitomical dead space of the body | -prevents gas exchange or diffusion
Airways Healthy Alveoli are open and echanging oxygen - the non functioning alveoli contribute to the dead space
38
anitomical dead space+ alveoli dead space=
physiological dead space
39
can sense the chemical bacteria and engulf it, keeping alveoli clean
alveoler inacrophage
40
is a surface-active lipoprotein complex (phospholipoprotein) formed by type II alveolar cells. The proteins and lipids that make up the surfactant have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions. *** lowers surface tension
pulmanary surfactant
41
lateral attraction to one another or water molecules on a surface
surface tension | -higher diameter=higher surface tension
42
pressure of individual gas within a mixture of gasses- proportion to the mol fraction with in the gas
partial pressure
43
A graphical representation of the % Hb saturation versus the surrounding PO2
O2 dissociation curve
44
Have no nucleus, no mitochondria, no endoplasmic reticulum and no other organelles. This means they have a very short half life in the body.
Mammalian RBC
45
RBC stack up on top of each other in the larger arteries | - this is to lower free energy from RBC
Rouleaux formation
46
hormone that stimulates RBC production
EPO
47
CO2 is produced in the _____ as part of the _____ cycle
mitochondria | TCA- long chain acids CO2 is produced from the decarboxylation of these acids.
48
when bicarbonate is transported out of the blood cell in exchange for a Cl ion. This keeps CO2 reaction going to the right and CO2 is transported as a PLASMA BICARBONATE
chloride shift
49
oxygen uptake that is very efficient in fish
countercurrent exchange -direction of H2O flow across gill is in one direction and direction of blood flow from lumeillae capillaries is in the other direction.
50
air bubbles around the bodies of insects when they dive under water
plastron | -because of the ctene on their legs (hydrophobic hairs)
51
-make up 85% ( most common) nephron -found in outer layer cortex -does not extend to the medulla of the kidney primary function-everyday processing of the urine
Cortical Nephron
52
- on inner third right on the border of the cortex and the medulla - very long loop of henly that extends to the medulla - focus on contracting urine - very powerful at conserving water
Juxta medula nephron
53
bundles of collecting ducts that extend down into the medula
renal pyramids
54
empty urine to the bottome of the kidney
renal pelvis
55
cell to cell connections that are nor permeable
tight junctions
56
very common in all cell and tissue types where reabsorption is common
Brush Border
57
if you drink to much water the hormone____ gets activated into the posterior pituitary
Aldosterone
58
have an NH2 group on them (epi) These are the smallest and simplest in structure f hormones
Amines
59
cyclic unsaturated fatty acid derivatives. these ave a very short biological half life and tend to act locally
Prostaglandins
60
cyclic hydrocarbon derivatives of cholesterol (metabolic and sex hormones)
Steroids
61
small proT but the largest and most complex group of hormones (insulin)
Peptides
62
hormone synthesis is regulated by
Negative feedback
63
There is an enzyme that is always active in the cell that breaks down CAMP directly after it does it job and converts back to AMP
phosphodyesterase | can be inhibited by caffine
64
sense levels of Na in the blood. Fire neurons to hypothalamus, so you feel thirsty
Osmotic receptors
65
H20 is regulated by
ADH - stimulates water reabsorption - through a specific channel aquaporin
66
non specific regulation. Its primary role is something other than regulation but also has a regulatory effect.
chemical regulation
67
one regulatory mechanism that acts on other systems
Nervous system regulation
68
specific chemical regulation
hormones
69
the study of hormones makes up the
Endocrine system
70
hormone synthesis is regulated by
negative feedback loops
71
secretes water absorption in the hypothalamus
synaptic nucleus
72
secretes the kinetic hormone oxytocin
paraventricular nucleus
73
oxytocin inducer
pitocin
74
direct circulatory connection between hypothal and anterior. Allows releasing factors to be released at low concentrations direct into anterior piutiary
portal vesles
75
regulates glucose metabolism. During long term events like starvation, stress
glucocorticoids
76
Has a positive effect on the anterior pituitary, results in production of ACTH -stimulates adrenal cortex and can also signal back to cut it off
CRH
77
control metabolism in endotherms and homeotherms
I3 and I4
78
strong regulatory agent
Ca2+
