27
What do blood cells originate from
stem cells
28
Where does cortisol come from
adrenal glands
29
What does Histamine do and when
Is a mediator response found in mast cells. It causes swelling and basal dilation.
30
what do mediators do, what and when
formed from complement, when released from any source it initiate the inflammatory response. phagocytic neutrophils and monocytes are attracted to site of inflammation by these
31
what are the three lobes of pituitary gland

hyperthyroidism has what symptoms
increased body metabolic function, increased heart rate, hyperactivity, imitability, muscle tremors,
33
Hypothyroidism has what symptoms
slow metabolic processes, individual slow and lethargic, sluggish, slow
34
myxedema has what symptoms
swelling, slow metabolic system, increased tsh, decreased levels of thyroid hormone,
35
diabetes insipidus has what symptoms
its a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, inability to absorb water form collecting tables of kidneys,
36
osmosis is when
passage of solvent/ water thru a semipermeable membrane. lesser to greater solute concentration
37
Diffusion is
parcels (solute) spreads from a region high concentration to a lower one
38
passive diffusion is
direct movement thru barrier with no energy
39
active transport is
Requires energy
40
HIV is
a virus that attacks Helper T cells, which causes too much suppressor T cells. They test for the antibodies. This is a parasite

allulitis
acute spread infection of skin and tissues
49
abscess
Localized swelling
50
septicemia
infection and bacteria gain aces to blood stream
51

change from 1 type of cell into another
55
dysplasia
abnormal maturing of cells
56
neoplasia
formation of a timer /cancer
57
what are the seven agents of disease
Living parasite, Nutrients, Exogenous (outside body), endogenous (inside body), genetics, psychological, physical agent
58
autoantibodies
an antibody formed agains ones own cells or tissues
59
autoimmune diseases
tissue damage from our own immune system
60
what is an ECG
electrocardiogram, identifies disturbances of the heart rate or rhythm.
