|
|
Found in the middle of each A band. Help hold down thick filaments. |
M lines |
|
|
What protein is thick filament composed of |
Myosin |
|
|
What protein is thin filament composed of |
Actin-also have tropomyosin and troponin |
|
|
What is the purpose of troponin and tropomyosin? |
Keep myosin from binding at rest |
|
|
Where is calcium stored |
SR-sarcoplasmic reticulum |
|
|
What is released to tell troponin it's time to contract |
Calcium |
|
|
Lymphatic organs |
Spleen, thymus, tonsils, lymph nodes |
|
|
Plasma proteins |
Albumin, globulins, fibrinogen |
|
|
Albumin |
Creates osmotic pressure. Helps draw water from tissues into capillaries to maintain blood volume and pressure |
|
|
Types of globulins |
Alpha and beta-transport lipids and fat soluble vitamins Gamma-antibodies that function in immunity |
|
|
Fibrinogen |
Helps in clotting after becoming fibrin |
|
|
Serum |
Blood without fibrinogen |
|
|
Erythrocytes |
RBCs- carry oxygen, flat biconcave discs. Lack nuclei and mitochondria. Have 120 day life span |
|
|
Leukocytes |
WBCs-have nuclei and mitochondria. Diapedesis (movement through capillary wall) 2 types granular and agranular |
|
|
Granular leukocytes |
Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils |
|
|
Agranular |
Monocytes and lymphocytes (t-cells and b-cells) |
|
|
Heart structure |
|
|
|
What prevents the AV valves from everting? |
Papillary muscles and chordae tendineae |
|
|
Action potential of other cells vs pacemaker |
Pacemaker uses HCN-Ca2+-K+ hyperpolarization causes it to never stop |
|
|
Why do cardiac muscle action potential have a long plateau? |
Prevents summation and tetanus |
|
|
Structure of a Blood vessel |
1. Tunica Externa 2. Tunic media 3. Tunic interna 4. Endothelium 5. Lumen |
|
|
Structural differences in arteries and veins |
Veins have valves Arteries have internal elastic membrane in tunica interna Arterioles have precapillary sphincters. |
|
|
What is tunica interna made of |
simple squamous endothelium |
|
|
What is tunica media made of? |
Composed of smooth muscle tissue |
|
|
What is tunica externa made of? |
Connective tissue-it is the outer most layer |
|
|
Different types of capillaries? |
Fenestrated, continuous, discontinuous |
|
|
What type of capillaries are found in muscle, adipose tissue, and central nervous tissue? Adjacent cells are close together |
continuous |
|
|
What type of capillaries are found in kidneys, intestines, and endocrine glands? Have pores in vessel walls. |
fenestrated |
|
|
What type of capillaries are found in bone marrow, liver and spleen? Have gaps to allow proteins through. |
Discontinuous |
|
|
Most blood volume is held where? Veins vs. Arteries |
Veins |
|
|
Thinner walled? Veins vs Arteries |
Veins |
|
|
What three things help with venous return? |
Valves, breathing, and skeletal muscles |
|
|
What are the three functions of the lymphatic system? |
1. transport excess interstitial fluid 2. Transports absorbed fats |
|
|
What are the two types of immunity |
innate and adaptive |
|
|
Includes internal and external defenses. First line-epithelial membranes, high acidity in stomach, cells that canengulf/kill pathogens, fever |
Innate |
|
|
PAMPs? |
Pathogen Associated Molecular Patterns |
|
|
Three types of phagocyte cells |
Neutrophils, Mononuclear phagocytic cells, and organ-specific phagocytes |
|
|
Fever is regulated by what?? |
The hypothalmus |
|
|
Site of new T Lymphocytes through late childhood. Degenerates in adulthood |
Thymus |
|
|
Considered primary lymphoid organs |
Bone marrow and thymus |
|
|
Secondary lymphoid organs-capture and present pathogens |
lymph nodes, spleen, tonsils, and Peyer's patches |
|
|
B cells can become what two types of cells? |
Memory or plasma. Plasma cells produce antibodies. |
|
|
What are the 5 classes of immunoglobulins |
IgG, IgA, IgE, IgM, IgD |
|
|
Function of IgG |
Main form of antibody. Production increased after immunization; secreted during secondary response |
|
|
Function of IgA |
External secretions such as saliva and mother's milk |
|
|
Functions of IgE |
Responsible for allergic symptoms in immediate hypersensitivity reactions |
|
|
IgM |
Antigen receptor on lymphocyte surface prior to immunization; secreted during primary response |
|
|
IgD |
Function as antigen receptors on lymphocyte surface prior to immunization; other functions unknown |
|
|
Describe an antibody structure |
Y-shaped protein-2 long heavy chains 2 shorter light chains. Bottom is constant. Top varies by antibody |
|
|
Describe innate immunity |
inherited-nonspecific |
|
|
Describe adaptive immunity |
learned from exposure to specific pathogens-specific |
|
|
Killer T Lymphocytes |
Surface molecules-CD8 Secrete perforins and granzymes |
|
|
Helper T Lymphocytes |
Surface molecule is CD4 Improve ability of B lymphocytes to become plasma cells Enhance Killer T cells Secrete lymphokines |
|
|
