52 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

List the blood vessels in the order a RBC passes through them as it leaves the heart, travels to a tissue, and returns to the heart

1. Elastic artery


2. Muscular artery


3. Arteriole


4. Venule


5. Vein

List the structures in the order a RBC encounters them as it passes through a tissue

1. Metarteriole


2. Thoroughfare channel


3. Precapillary sphincter

In which vessels are elastic fibers present in the largest amounts?

Large arteries

Comparing and contrasting arteries and veins, veins have

Valves, but arteries do not

The structures that supply the walls of blood vessels with blood are

Vaso vasorum

Which arteries have direct connections with the cerebral arterial circle (circle of Willis)?

Basilar and internal carotid

List vessels in order, from the aorta to the right hand

1. Brachiocephalic artery


2. Subclavian artery


3. Acillary artery


4. Brachial artery


5. Radial artery

A branch of the aorta that supplies the liver, stomach, and spleen is the

Celiac trunk

List the arteries in order, from the aorta to the knee

1. Common iliac


2. External iliac


3. Femoral


4. Popliteal

List the veins in order, from the brain to the heart

Venous sinus


Internal jugular


Brachiocephalic


Superior vena cava

Blood returning from the arm to the subclavian vein passes through which veins?

Cephalic, basilic, and brachial

List the vessels in order, from the small intestine to the inferior vena cava

Superior mesenteric artery, hepatic portal vein, hepatic vein

Which veins are superficial?

Small saphenous and great saphenous

Vascular compliance is

The increase in vessel volume divided by the increase in vessel pressure

The resistance to blood flow is greatest in the

Arterioles

Veins

Increase their volume because of their large compliance

Local direct control of blood flow through a tissue

- maintains adequate rate of flow despite large changes in arterial BP


- results from relaxation and contraction of precapillary sphincters


- occurs in response to a buildup in CO2 in the tissues


- occurs in response to a decrease in O2 in the tissues

An increase in MAP can result from

- an increase in PR


- an increase in HR


- an increase in SV

When blood O2 levels markedly decrease, the chemoreceptor reflex causes

MAP to increase

When BP is suddenly decreased a small amount (10mmHg), which mechanism is activated to restore BP to normal levels?

Baroreceptor reflexes

A sudden release of epinephrine from the adrenal medulla

- increases HR


- increases SV


- causes vasoconstriction in visceral blood vessels

In response to a decrease in BP

- ADH secretion increases


- the kidneys decrease urine production


- BV increases

In response to a decrease in BP

The kidneys retain more salts and water than normal

a patient is found to have severe arteriosclerosis of the renal arteries, which has reduced renal BP. Wjat is consistent with that condition?

Hypertension

During exercise, the BF through skeletal muscle may increase up to 20-fold. However, the cardiac output does not increase that much. Thia occurs because of

- vasoconstriction in the viscera


- vasoconstriction in the skin (at least temporarily)


- vasodilation of skeletal muscle blood vessels

The lymphatic system

- removes excess fluid from tissues


- absorbs lipids from the digestive tract


- defends the body against microorganisms and other foreign substances

Lymphatic vessels

Empty into lymph nodes

The tonsils

- consist of large groups of lymphatic nodules


- protect against bacteria


- can become chronically infected


- decrease in size in adults

Lymph nodes

- filter lymph


- are where lymphocytes divide and increase in number


- contain a network of reticular fibers


- contain lymphatic sinuses

What is true about the spleen?

- the spleen has white pulp associated with arteries


- the spleen has red pulp associated with the veins


- the spleen destroys defective RBCs


- the spleen is a limited reservoir for blood

What is not true about the spleen?

The spleen is surrounded by trabeculae located outside the capsule

The thymus

Produces lymphocytes that move to other lymphatic tissue

Give an example of innate immunity

- tears and saliva wash away microorganisms


- basophils release histamine and leukotrienes


- neutrophils phagocytize a microorganism


- the complement cascade is activated

Neutrophils

Account for most of the dead cells in pus

Macrophages

Are large, phagocytic cells that outlive neutrophils

Which cell is the most important in the release of histamine, which promotes inflammation?

Mast cell

Which occurs during the inflammatory response?

- release of histamien and other chemical mediators


- chemotaxis of phagocytes


- increased permeability of blood vessels


- entry of fibrinogen into tissues from the blood

Which does not occur during the inflammatory response?

Vasoconstriction of blood vessels

Antigens

- are foreign substances introduced into the body


- are molecules produced by the body


- stimulate an adequate immune system response

B cells

Originate in red bone marrow

MHC molecules

- are glycoproteins


- attach to the plasma membrane


- have a variable region that can bind to foreign antigens and self antigens


- may form an MHC-antigen complex that activated T cells

What participates in costimulation?

- cytokines

Helper T cells

- respond to antigens from macrophages


- respond to cytokines from macrophages


- stimulate B cells with cytokines

What is the most important function of tolerance?

Prevent the immune system from responding to self antigens

Variable amino acid sequences on the arms of the antibody molecule

Mark the antibody specific for a given antigen

Antibodies

Promote phagocytosis

The secondary antibody response

Prevents disease symptoms from occurring

What type of lymphocyte is responsible for the secondary antibody response?

Memory B cell

The largest percentage of antibodies in the blood are

IgG

The largest percentage of antibodies in the blood are

IgG

Antibody-mediated immunity

Is responsible for immediate hypersensitivity reactions

The activation of cytotoxic T cells can result in

- lysis of virus infected cells


- producruin of cytokines


- production of memory T cells
