Front 1

glial cells

Back 1

make up about 90% of CNS cells, support system of neurons, provide nourishment and help neurons provide phyical orientation to each other

Front 2

brain stem

Back 2

controls very basic unctions, such as breathing and sleep-wake cycles Also involved in maintaining posture and balance

Front 3

cerebellum

Back 3

balance and coordination of voluntary movement

Front 4

hypothalamus

Back 4

initiates the stress response in both the nervous system and the endocrine system

Front 5

temporal lobe

Back 5

interprets sound

Front 6

parietal lobe

Back 6

responsible for PROCESSING sensory information other than hearing and vision, such as touch and temperature regulation

Front 7

motor cortex

Back 7

responsible for controlling voluntary movement such as facial movement, limb and trunk movement, and hand movement. Lower portion: responsible for facial movement, upper portion=responsible for limb & trunk movement, hands=controlled by large area in middle of strip, runs from ear to ear and in front of the central sulcus.

Front 8

frontal lobes

Back 8

responsible for voluntary movement, language thought processing, and emotion

Front 9

sensory cortex

Back 9

responsible for sensory ACTIVITIES in specific parts of the body as well as for sensations from the skin, muscles, and joints

Front 10

Broca's area

Back 10

located just in front of the base of the motor strip

Front 11

Wernicke's area

Back 11

located @ junction of O, T, & P lobes

Front 12

ischemic stroke

Back 12

stroke that is caused by blockage

Front 13

hemorrhagic stroke

Back 13

stroke closed by blood vessel rupture

Front 14

autonomic

Back 14

controls the cardiac muscle of the heart, smooth muscle of internal organs, and most glands,

Front 15

ACTH

Back 15

produced by ant lobe of pituitary, stimulates the adrenal gland to produce cortisol

Front 16

thyroid

Back 16

produces hormones that regualate growth and immune function

Front 17

cortisol

Back 17

provides energy by helping the body convert stored energy and fats into glucose

Front 18

insulin

Back 18

aids in the body's ability to convert blood sugar to energy

Front 19

antigens

Back 19

micro-organisms that our foreign to our physiology

Front 20

pathogens

Back 20

antigens that have the potential to cause disesase

Front 21

memory B-cells

Back 21

act only on a particular antigen, produces antibodies % immunoglobulins

Front 22

seroconversion

Back 22

production of antibodies by memory B cells when exposed to a previously encountered and remember antigen

Front 23

helper T-cells

Back 23

cells that produce interleukins that speed the division of B-lymphocye cells

Front 24

Suppressor T cells

Back 24

cells that stop the production of antiodies after the antigen has been destroyed

Front 25

non-specific immunity

Back 25

systems we are born with, one process-immune system creates antoimicrobial substances that kill antigens-> inflammation

Front 26

aorta

Back 26

main artery carrying oxygen-rich blood away from the heart

Front 27

autorhythmicity

Back 27

capacity of a cardiac muscle to fire by itself, the pulsing of the heart is regulated by these cells

Front 28

contractile cells

Back 28

cells that require stimulation from other cells in order to fire. They bring about the contraction of the heart that constitutes the work of pumpking

Front 29

systole

Back 29

contaction of heart during pumping, in which the heart is emptied

Front 30

distole

Back 30

relaxation of the heart during pumping, in which the heart is filled

Front 31

internal respiration

Back 31

O2-CO2

Front 32

external respiration

Back 32

Taking O2 from environ, exchange of O2 and CO2 b/w the lungs and blood, transportation of O2 and CO2 by the blood, and CO2 between the blood and tissue

Front 33

COPD

Back 33

shortness of breath, emphysema & chronic bronchitis

Front 34

bronchitis

Back 34

inflammation that irritates the airways and blocks them by producing extra mucous

Front 35

emphysema

Back 35

damaged lung tissues, causes air pockets to be trapped in the lungs

Front 36

asthma

Back 36

inflammation of the airways, narrowing of the airways caused by muscle tightening or spasm

Front 37

lobar pneumonia

Back 37

infection of an entire lobe of the ling, which causes an inflammation of the alveoli. Can be a serious conditions causing the inflammation spreads to other ogrgans

Front 38

bronchial pneumonia

Back 38

restricted to the bronchi and often occurs as a complication of other illnesses, such as cold or flu

Front 39

emesis

Back 39

vomiting

Front 40

antiemetic medication

Back 40

medication intended to reduce nausea and vomiting

Front 41

peptic ulcer

Back 41

may be caused by H. pylori, secrete toxins that bring about inflammation that weakens this mucosal protection, psychological factors can stimulate greater gastric secretion, and subsequently more pepsin.

Front 42

kidney dialysis

Back 42

uses external devices to do the work of the kidneys

Front 43

ureter

Back 43

carries urine kidneys->bladder
