vaccination

interferon is

A tissue extract which prevents viral RNA from changing normal cellular DNA activity

the term antigenic means

form specific antibodies

plasma cells are derived from

b cells

the primary function of the lymphatic system is

the production maintenance and distribution of lymphocytes

anatomically lymph vessels resemble

medium sized vein

lymph nodes do all of the following except

remove excess nutrients from lymph

lymphocytes are located in each of the following tissues or organs except

brain

the bodys nonspecific defenses include all of the following except

antibodies

the cells responcible for humoral immunity are the

b-cells

suppressor t cells act to

lower response of t-cells and b-cells

b cells are primarily activated by the action of

helper t cells

the following steps in the cell mediated immune response

Antigen is engulfed and presented by a macrophage Undifferentiated t-cells with specific receptors recognize the antigen Several cycles of mitosis occur T-cells differentiate into cytotoxic t-cells and t-memory cellsCytotoxic t-cells migrate to focus if infectionCytotoxic t-cells release performing and lymphotoxin

in human , lungs are caused to inflate by events related to

contraction of muscles of diaphragm

the concentration of bicarbonate ions would be

greater in femoral vein than in femoral artery

in chronic or long term cigarette smokers

lung cancer cough copd

the c-shaped rings of cartilage of the trachea no only prevents the trachea from collapsing but also aids in the process of

swallowing

which of the following represents the correct sequence of structures over which air passes in the respiratory tract

Trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli

if the atmospheric pressure is 745mm Hg and the air is 20% O2 what is the partial pressure of oxygen

149 mm Hg

the amount of oxygen released from oxyhemoglobin increases when

blood concentration of Co2 increases or acid increases

the vocal cords

Produce voice when air passes through larynx. High pitch is a tight stretch, low pitch is air forced slowly

the rate of respiration is increased when

there is a slight increase in carbon dioxide in the blood, lactic acid is released into the blood during vigorous exercise, there is less than 40 mm hg of oxygen in the arterial blood

when oxygen diffuses into the blood it

forms a weak chemical bond with hemoglobin

the factors which facilitate expiration in breathing are

relaxation of diaphragm and external intercostals , inhibition of inspiratory center in brain

foreign particles entering the respiratory system is

blocked by hair or mucus

all of the following statements relate to the breathing process which of them is not true

carbon dioxide , water,energy

about 2/3 of the CO2 produced by cells travel in the blood as

bicarbonate ions

if the blood samples were taken from the right atrium ,right ventricle and pulmonary artery, and analyzed for oxygen concentration

all would contain about the same oxygen concentration

after puberty girls tend to have higher pitched voices than boys because of

lack of testosterone

the partial pressure of oxygen is highest in the

nasal cavity or atmosphere

which of the following could best be termed cellular respiration

Utilization of oxygen by a liver cell with the release of energy

lung collapse occurs when air enters the pleural cavity because

Intra pleural pressure becomes equal to atmospheric pressure

If an individual has a vital capacity of 5750 cc an inspiratory reserve of 3220 cc and expiratory reserve of 1450 cc what is the tidal volume?

1080 cc

breathing rate is most likely to increase if the blood concentration of

carbon dioxide increases

Co2 easily diffuses into the plasma of the blood because

High coefficient of diffusion in respiratory membrane

The damaging effect of carbon monoxide is due to the fact that?

Combines strongly with hemoglobin

An acute or chronic inflammation of the bronchial tree caused by bacterial infection or irritants is known as?
