32
Where ganglion cell axons exit the eye to form the optic nerve No light sensitive rods or cones to respond to a light stimulus at this point Causes a break in the visual field called the blind spot

MYOPIA
34
Farsightedness You can see distant objects clearly, but objects nearby may be blurry
HYPEROPIA
35
Refractive state of an eye in which parallel rays of light entering the eye are focused on the retina, creating an image that is perceived as crisp and in focus Perfect visual function
EMMETROPIA
36
Resemble small veins formed when lymphatic capillaries join together Have one way valves to prevent the backward movement of the lymph fluid tube-like structures that carry fluid (called lymph) away from the tissues to deliver it back into the blood's circulation.
LYMPHATIC VESSELS
37
Introduced from outside the body Bacteria, viruses, chemicals released by microorganisms ALLERGIC REACTION: Caused by foreign antigens that produce an overreaction of the immune system
FOREIGN ANTIGEN
38
The ability to resist damage from foreign substances such as microorganism, harmful chemicals and internal threats
IMMUNITY
39
Recognized and destroys certain foreign substances, but the response to them is the same each time the body is exposed
INNATE IMMUNITY
40
Recognizes and destroys certain foreign substances, but the response to them improves each time the foreign substance is encountered.
ADAPTIVE IMMUNITY
41
These viruses naturally circulate among animals like birds and pigs. Occasionally, a new strain of (?) A virus can emerge
Influenza
42
A viral infection affecting the upper respiratory tract (which includes the nose, sinuses, throat and windpipe).
COMMON COLDS
43
is caused by bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) Infection destroys patients' lung tissue, causing them to cough up the bacteria, which then spread through the air and can be inhaled by others
TUBERCULOSIS
44
a malignant tumor that begins in the lung. caused by genetic damage to the DNA of cells in the airways, often caused by cigarette smoking or inhaling damaging chemicals
LUNG CANCER
45
About 6 meters long and consist of three parts: Duodenum Jejunum ileum
SMALL INTESTINES
46
It is a complex organ composed of both endocrine and exocrine tissues that performs several functions.
PANCREAS
47
Processes the nutrients and detoxifies harmful substances from the blood. produces an important digestive fluid called bile
LIVER
48
a large cavity that collects the urine as it is produced. collecting the urine produced in the kidney and leading to a central “stem,” the ureter.
RENAL PELVIS
49
Extends from the base of the urinary bladder to the tip of the penis Carries both urine and sperm Sperm enters from the ejaculatory duct
URETHRA
50
Divided sac of skin outside the abdomen Maintains testes at 3°C lower than normal body temperature to protect sperm viability
SCROTUM
51
Comma-shaped, tightly coiled tube Found on the superior part of the testis and along the posterior lateral side Functions to mature and store sperm cells (at least 20 days) Expels sperm with the contraction of muscles in the epididymis walls to the vas deferens
EPIDIDYMIS
52
Mixture of sperm and accessory gland secretions
SEMEN
53
External genitalia
PENIS
54
Production of sperm cells Begins at puberty and continues throughout life Occurs in the seminiferous tubules Spermatids to sperm
SPERMATOGENESIS
55
functional unit of the kidney the structure that actually produces urine in the process of removing waste and excess substances from the blood. There are about 1,000,000 nephrons in each human kidney.
NEPHRON
56
protects the stomach lining
mucus
57
kills microorganisms and activates pepsin.
Hydrochloric acid
58
starts protein digestion
Pepsin
59
aids in vitamin B absorption.
Intrinsic Factor
60
Weak contractions result in mixing waves, which thoroughly mix ingested foods with stomach secretion to form chyme.
MIXING WAVES
61
Stronger contractions result in ? waves, which force the chyme toward and through the pyloric sphincter
PERISTALTIC WAVES
62
Involves consciously regulating your breath to create a steady and even rhythm. It's often used in practices like meditation, yoga, or stress reduction to promote relaxation and focus. Typically, it involves inhaling and exhaling at a controlled pace, fostering a sense of calmness and balance.
RHYTHMIC BREATHING
63
Breathing cycle that involves air leaving the lungs
EXPIRATION
64
Breathing cycle that involves air going into the lungs
INSPIRATION
65
Acts as a lubricant, allowing the visceral and parietal pleura to slide past each other Helps hold the pleural membranes together
PLEURAL CAVITY
66
Roughly the size of a clenched fist and is located in the left, superior corner of the abdominal cavity. Clears worn-out RBC and other foreign bodies from the bloodstream
SPLEEN
67
Results when self-antigens stimulate unwanted destruction of normal tissue
AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
68
Molecules of the body produces to stimulate an immune system response an antigen that the immune system derives from the body it is protecting.
SELF ANTIGEN
69
Aka circadian rhythm Natural internal process that regulates the sleep and wakefulness patterns in living beings
SLEEP-WAKE CYCLE
70
Biological process by which new individuals of the same species are produced, ensuring the continuation of that species
REPRODUCTION
71
Refers to the physiological and psychological processes involves in human sexual response such as desire, arousal, orgasm, and resolution
SEXUAL FUNCTION
72
Refers to the dynamic processes of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social changes that occur throughout the lifespan of an organism
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT
73
Physiological process by which living organisms maintain internal stability and balance in the face of external changes
HOMEOSTASIS
74
Part of the retina at the back of the eye Only 5mm across Responsible for our central vision, most of our color vision, and the fine detail of what we see
MACULA
75
where urine collection begins. small cup-shaped spaces that collect fluid before it moves into the bladder.
CALYCES
76
Carries sperm from the epididymis to the ejaculatory duct
DUCTUS DEFERENS
77
cutting of the ductus deferens at the level of the testes to prevent transportation of sperm
VASECTOMY
78
The total supply of eggs are present at birth Ability to release eggs begins at puberty Reproductive ability ends at menopause Oocytes are matured in developing ovarian follicles
OOGENESIS
79
Aka uterine cycle Cyclic changes of the endometrium Regulated by cyclic production of estrogens and progesterone
MENSTRUAL CYCLE
80
Present in both sexes, but only function in females Modified sweat glands Function is to produce milk Stimulated by sex hormones (mostly estrogens) to increase in size
