  • Front
  • Back
pressure exerted by blood against the walls of blood vessels
blood pressure
immune response against ones own body
autoimmunity
heart chamber that pumps blood out of the heart and into an artery
ventricle
blood pressure forces water and small solutes but nto proteins out across walls of capillaries
filitration
antigen sensitized B/T cell that forms in an immune response and acts immediatyl
effector cell
group fo heart cells that emits rythmic singnals calling for muscle contraction
S.A node
a normally harmless substance that provokes an immune response in some people
allergen
tube that carries urine from a kidney to the bladder
ureter
brief stretching of aftery walls that occurs when ventricles contract
pules
antigen sensitixed B/T cell that forms in an immune response but does NOT act immeditalty
memory cell
water and solutes enter capillaries
reabsorption
heart chamber that pumps blood into a ventricle
atrium
tube through which urine from the bladder flows out of the body
urethra
set of inborn general defenses against infection
innate immunity
capillaries are
blood vessels with the largest diamter
arteries are
narrow in diamter, carry blood away from the heart, only carry oxigented blood and are only found in humans
the pulmonary circuit involves blood moving away from
the heart, to the lungs back to the heart then to the body tissues
______ is the transport medium for the blood cells and platelets
plasma
little thin walled air sacs that are the sites of gas exchange in the lungs are the
alveoli
during the cardiac cycle which of the following is the correct order of events
atria and ventricles relax, atria contract, ventricles contract
one breath in and one breath out constitutes
respitory system
the SA node
is a clump of specialized cariac cells in the wall fo the rifght atrium, and is referred to as the cardiac pacemaker
the bulging of a ____ during the contraction of the ventricles is refered to as_____
artery, pulse
which vessel of the human body can serve as a blood resuiver
vein
respirtion
in most animals involves both the circulatory and respitory systems
little thin walled air sacs that are the sites of gas exchange in the lungs are
the alveoli
anemia refers to
too few or abnormal red blood cells
at rest the largest volume of blood is in the
veins
antibody mediated responses work against
cancerous cells
a _ is a molecule that would be recognized by the body as foreign
antigen
which component of the blood helps toc arry out all immune response?
white blood cells
microorganisms found on human skin
may cause serious illness if they invade the internal environment
innate immunity defenses include
phagocytosis, complement system,inflammation and fever
inflammation
is trigger by activated complement, is a non specific local response, results in redness due to increased blood floow and resutls ins welling due to diffusion of water into the tissue
B cells or T cells that have yet to bind to an antigen are called
naive
the ability of the adaptive immune response to tailor its response toa particular anitgen is reffered to as
specifity
if a toxin is detected in the blood which adaptive immune response would u expect to occur
antibody mediated immune response
if a person is incapable of making effector helpter T cells what will be the result
memory B cells and effector Bcells will not be produced
damaged or infected body cells are destroyed by
cytotoxic T cells
autoimmune disorders are caused by
lymphocytes and antibody molecules attacking self cells instead of only foreign cells
the goal of immunization is to
induce immunity to disease
digestion is defined as
breaking food down into small nutrient molecules
the stomach
secretes enzymes that begin to break down fats
where does most digestion and absorbtion occur
small intestine
which molecule is our primary source of energy
triglycerides
fats that ur body cannot make are called
essential fatty acids
if a person does not produce bile which have macromoleules would what would they have the miost trouvle digesting
FATS
water soluable vitamens
must be replenished each day, are destroyed by heat, include vitamens B and C and are not stored in the body
to maintain a proper weight
a person should be careful of what they eat and shud exercise
a nephron is
a kidnedy tubule and the assosicated cappilaries
the antidiuretic hormone ADH
signals ur body to reabsorb more water as the filtrate passes through the nephron and is inhibited by alcohol
the general term anorexia refers to
a condition in which an individual does not eat enough to maintain a healthy body weight
