63 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

When interstitial fluids flow into lymphatic vessel capillaries(rather than back into blood capillaries)

Lymph

One organ that removes old RBCs from circulation is the

Spleen

T Cells are involved in

cell-mediated immunity [and "not" humoral/inate immunity].

Lymph node function

Lymph "nodes" filter the lymph as it travels along lymphatic vessels.

Where the lymphatic vessels open up to the surrounding environment is called

a lymph "nodule"

The organ that produces new T Cells is the

Thymus

The Lymphatics eventually feed..

all of their fluid to the "subclavian veins", which then returns the lymph to the bloodstream

Plasma Cells at lymph nodes produce

New antibodies

Adrenal glands are located..

Atop the kidneys

Large number of hormones that function mostly for growth and stimulation

Anterior Pituitary

Releasing and Inhibiting Hormones :: Controls the Anterior Pituitary Gland

Hypothalamus

Produces Insulin and Glucagon :: Contains the "Islets of Langerhans"

Pancreas

Produces PTH antagonistic hormone (to calcitonin)

Parathyroid

Produces hormones related to metabolism and calcium levels (Calcitonin)

Thyroid Gland

Produces melatonin (regulates circadian rhythym/sleep cycles)

Pineal Gland

Stores and releases oxytocin and ADH

Posterior Pituitary

Bifurcation occurs from trachea to the Primary Bronchi at the

Carina

Cartilage that covers the vocal cords when swallowing is ..?

Epiglottis

Contains the vocal cords

Larynx

Small holes in the intra-alveolar septa

Pores of Kohn

What is the initial passageway for air into the lungs as air travels downward?

Pharynx

Opening between the true vocal cords is ...?

Glottis

Tissue area between the base of the tongue and the epiglottis

Vallecula

What is the indentation in the base of the left lung?

Cardiac notch

Inner layer made of fibrous connective tissue

Dermis

Outer layer of skin

Epidermis

Most superficial layer of the outer layer of skin

Stratum Corneum

Deepest layer of the outer layer of skin

Stratum Germinativum

Superficial fascia between the inner layer of skin and underlying muscle. This is also the layer of connective tissue considered to be "underneath the skin".

Subcutaneous Layer

Layer of entire epidermis separates and fluid collects in this space

Blister

What tissue lines the chambers of the heart?

Endocardium

Caused in the epidermis where increased pressure from mitosis in the lower layer occurs

Callus

Cartilaginous discs between bone surfaces; vertebrae and between pubic bones

Symphysis (incorrectly spelled "Symphasis" on Mastery Question on the Final Exam)

Fibrous connective tissue between bone surfaces; facial bones

Suture

Allows for rotational movement; atlas/axis

Pivot

Allows for movements in all planes/directions; scapula/humerus

Ball and socket

Allows for movement in one plane; femur/tibia

Hinge

A spine, tubercle, tuberosity, condyle, or trochanter are

Examples of bone "processes"

Contains any red bone marrow within the bone

Spongy Bone

Use an acid to break down the bone matrix

Osteoclasts

Bone matrix, i.e. Calcium Carbonate and Calcium Phosphate, are formed from these cells

Osteoblasts

Found at the perimeter of a long bone just underneath the periosteum and this is where Haversian Systems are seen

Compact bone

Bones are one of the seven

"Connective Tissue"

What is the "thickest" layer of tissue making up the chambers of the heart?

Myocardium

What tissue connects bones to hold them together?

Ligament

What tissue pads or lines the end of bones in joints that freely move?

Cartilage

What tissue is used for covering and lining surfaces?

Epithelial Cells

Specialized cells found only in the CNS

Glial Cells

The stomach, teeth and tongue participate in..

Mechanical digestion

Testosterone is produced in the

Interstitial cells of the testes

A ruptured follicle in the ovary that secretes progesterone

Corpus Luteum

The stage of life that the fetus begins producing blood in the bone marrow and opens it eyes is normally in the

3rd Trimester

Brain tissue that forms the fluid of the CNS from a network of capillaries

Choroid Plexus

Lower jawbone

Mandible

Upper jawbone

Maxilla

Genetic replication (biosynthesis of genes) occurs in the

Nucleus of the cell

The connective tissue the covers the brain and spinal cord is the ...?

Meninges

Electrical Impulses moving "away" from the cell body use

Axons

Electrical Impulses move "towards" the cell body using ...?

Dendrites

In the PNS, what structures/cells form the Myelin Sheath?

Schwann Cell

The cell organelle that biosynthesizes proteins is ...?

Ribosome

The main protein in dead cells

Keratin

The protein that gives the skin color

Melanin
