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? |
