3
Q

Contains iron and four heme groups to which four oxygen atoms can bind. Excess monoxide in the blood can lead to poisoning because CO has greater affinity to hemoglobin than oxygen thus, oxygen is outcompeted and its results to oxygen deficiency.

16
Q

Secretes the extracellular matrix and deposit calcium, which hardens the bone matrix.

A

Osteoblast

17
Q

Process of bone development from hyaline cartilage.

A

Endochondral Ossification

18
Q

Part of extrahepatic bilary system where bile is stored and concentrated

A

Gallbladder

19
Q

Bile is formed in?

A

Liver

20
Q

Involves the liver, with its vast blood supple, the gallbladder, and the hepatic and bile ducts.

A

Biliary system

21
Q

Ability of immune system to defense against infection and disease

A

Immunity

22
Q

Immunity from serum antibodies produced by plasma cells.

A

Humoral Immunity

23
Q

Refers to the bodily fluids where these free0floating serum antibodies bind to antigen and assist with elimination

A

Humoral

24
Q

Acquired through T cells from someone who is immune to the target disease or infection.

A

Cell-mediated Immunity

25
Q

Refers to the fact that response is carried out by cytotoxic cells

A

Cell-Medicated

26
Q

Synthesize and secrete antibodies, proteins that bind to antigen on pathogens to help phagocytes destroy them

A

B Cells (Mature in Bone marrow)

27
Q

Mature in Thymus glands

A

T cells

28
Q

Like NK cells for innate immunity, but their recognition of pathogen is much more specific.
They kill virus-infected cells by secreting proteins that penetrate and puncture cell membrane.
Shuts off replication of the pathogen.

A

Cytotoxic T cells (CD8+)

29
Q

Stimulate other components of the immune response by secreting signalling molecules that activate B cells & phagocytes.

A

Helper T cells (CD4+)

30
Q

Turns off the immune response once the pathogen has been defeated.

A

Suppressor T cells
