Week 4 - Lymphatic system Flashcards

(47 cards)

1
Q

Fluid regulation

A

Drains fluids from interstitium and returns to bloodstream
20L/day moves into interstitium
Only 17 L reabsorbed by capillaries

Q

How fluid regulation works

A

Tiny lymphatic capillaries soak up excess fluid
one-way valves and muscle pumps help to squeeze “lymph” back to venous system

Q

2 types of B cells

20
Q

major processes hormones control

A

Reproduction
growth and development
maintains electrolyte, water, and nutrient balance of blood
regulates cellular metabolism and energy balance
mobilization of body defenses

21
Q

Chemistry of hormones

A

Amino acid based
Lipid based

22
Q

Hormones are classified chemically as…

23
Q

Amino acids

A

Non-steroid
2nd messenger system

24
Q

Lipid based

A

made from cholesterol
Direct gene activation

25
Control of hormone release
Stimulus or low hormone levels in the blood triggers the release of more hormones Hormone release stops once an appropriate level in the blood is reached
26
How are hormone levels maintained by
Negative feedback
27
Major endocrine glands of the body
Autonomic Centers Adrenal Glands Diabetes Mellitus The kidney
28
Major endocrine organs
Hypothalamus Pituitary gland Thyroid gland parathyroid glands Adrenal gland Thymus gland Pancreas testes ovaries
29
Pancreas and its functions
Located close to stomach in upper abdominal cavity Endocrine gland exocrine gland
30
endocrine gland
produces the insulin and glucagon
31
exocrine gland
digestion of food
32
Autonomic Centers
Exert direct neural control over endocrine cells in adrenal medulla
33
adrenal medulla release...
Epinephrin (EPI) norepinephrine (NE or Norepi)
34
Adrenal glands and their two regions
sit on top of kidneys Adrenal cortex adrenal medulla
35
Adrenal cortex
mineralocorticoids Glucocorticoids Sex hormones
36
Diabetes Mellitus
Type 1 Type 2
37
Type 1 diabetes mellitus
inability of pancreas to produce insulin
38
Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Resistance of cells to insulin Exercise... may reverse!
39
The kidney
Blood enters kidney through renal artery Nephrons kidney gets rid of wastes and keeps what it wants
40
Nephrons
units that filter blood to form urinew
41
what does the kidney keep and gets rid of
gets rid of waste products keeps water, electrolytes and glucose
42
Hyper-hydrated
Atrial natriuretic peptide decreases reabsorption at kidney
43
Dehydrated?
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and Aldosterone increases reabsorption at kidney
44
Factors influencing HR
Sympathetic NS Parasympathetic NS (Vagus nerve)
45
Hormonal factors influencing functions of heart
Epinephrine, norepinephrine, thyroid hormones
46
Catecholamine effect of the heart - Epinephrine and norepinephrine
Bind on cardiomyocytes increases rate of depolarization
