Don't miss anything!
Disclaimer – this is just a review. I tried to get everything on here – but I could have missed something!!. You cannot in any way, come back after the test and say “You didn’t do this in review – it can’t be on the test “. You are still responsible to do your own review and studying. I did this to help.
Respiratory system
12.What are the parts of the pharynx? -nasopharynx, oropharynx & laryngopharynx 13.What looks like “little grapes”? -uvula 14.What prevents food from/drink from entering the larynx? -epiglottis 15.Name some pieces of cartilage in the larynx? -thyroid cartilage 16.Describe vocal cords?* -Vocal cords 17.What is trachea made of and what shape is it? -the trachea is made of pseudostratified columnar epithelium and is c-shaped. 18.What type of epithelial cells are primarily found in the resp. system? -ciliated pseudostratified epithelial cells 19.Describe bronchi. -Bronchi is each of which extends to a lung
-skeletal muscle 31.Why is the diaphragm so important? -It is important because it is the major muscle of respiration 32.Explain the principles that allow for air flow in and out?* -When thoracic cavity volume increases, pressure decreases whereas when thoracic cavity volume decreases, pressure increases. 33.Explain why diffusion in the resp system is so important? -Diffusion in the respiratory system is important because the body needs a way of getting oxygen in and carbon dioxide out. 34.What happens to thoracic area during inspiration? Expiration? -The thoracic area increases in volume during inspiration whereas during expiration it decreases in volume. 35.What happens to volume of thoracic cavity during inspiration? Expiration Inspiration Increased volume = decreased pressure, therefore atmospheric air moves into the lungs Expiration Decreased volume = increased pressure, therefore atmospheric air moves out of the lungs 36.What is lung recoil? -The ability of the lung to increase and decrease. a. Why could it be bad? -influences the ability of alveoli to increase and decrease b. What does our body do to prevent it? -The body brings about two factors; surfactant & pressure in the pleural cavity 37.What factors influence pulmonary ventilation? -gender, age, height, weight & fitness 38.How do we measure pulmonary volumes?
-we use a spirometer to measure pulmonary volumes. 39.Define tidal volume. -the normal volume of air breathed in and out with each breath. 40.Define TLC -TLC is total volume of air in the lungs. 41.Define IRV -IRV is the amount of air that can be inspired forcefully after normal respiration. 42.Define ERV -ERV is the amount of air that can be forcefully expired after normal respiration. 43.Define RV. -RV is volume of air still remaining in the respiratory passages & lungs after the most forceful expiration. ** make sure you know what each really means!! 44.What is vital capacity? How is it calculated? -maximum volume of air a person can expel from the respiratory tract. Vital capacity= IRV + TV + ERV 45.Bob has IRV = 5L, ERV = 6L, TV = 5L and an RV = 10L. What is bob’s TLC? 5L + 6L + 5L + 10L=26L TLC = VC + RV VC = IRV + ERV + TV How do you calculate this?*
47.What influences gas exchange?* - 48.What causes resp. membrane thickness? What cause will this have? -pulmonary edema causes resp. membrane thickness. It causes the failure of the left side of the heart.
53.What is hemoglobin? 54.What is oxyhemoglobin? 55.Explain the homeostatic mechanism of CO2 and blood pH. What happens when C02 increase and when it decreases? 56.Where is ventilation controlled? 57.What is normal ventilation rate? 58.What is the Hering – Breuer reflex? 59.How do chemoreceptors in aorta effect respiration? 60.Where else are chemoreceptors that effect ventilation? 61.What are some of the respiratory diseases we discussed in class? 62.What is asthma?
Blood
22.Be able to explain the different blood groups.* 23.What is the Rh factor?
24.How can it effect pregnant mothers? a. What can we give them to help? b. What is HDN? 25.What is complete Blood count? -This is an analysis that consists of red blood cells, hemoglobin measurement, hematocrit measurement and white blood count. 26.What is Hematocrit? -percentage of total blood volume that is composed of red blood cells Hemostasis – Blood Clotting Process Insert the correct answer in the answer blanks below A. Break D. Fibrinogen G. Prothrombinase B. Erythrocytes E. Platelets H. Thrombin C. Fibrin F. Prothrombin Clotting begins when a (1) occurs in the blood vessel wall. Almost immediately, (2) attach to the blood vessel wall. At the end of the clotting cascade, (3) is formed. This is a chemical substance that causes (4) to be converted to (5). This then acts to convert (6) to form long, threadlike strands of (7), which then traps (8) flowing by in the blood.
-Pulmonary circuit carries blood from heart to lungs whereas systemic circuit carries blood from heart to body. 14.What are the coronary arteries? -these are arteries that supply blood to heart wall. 15.Explain a cardiac action potential. -In a cardiac action potential, we have the depolarization phase were Na+ and Ca+ channels open, the plateau phase were Na+ channels close, some K+ channels open, Ca+ channels remain open & lastly the repolarization phase were k+ open & Ca+ close. 16.How is it different then a skeletal? -the skeletal muscle action potential has only depolarization & repolarization phase. 17.What is the path of the AP through the heart?* -SA node, AV node, AV bundle, the bundle branches & purkinje fibers 18.Which node acts as the pacemaker? -SA node 19.What is an EKG? -electrocardiography 20.What are the different parts of an EKG?
21.What are you hearing when you hear lub dub? -First & second sound 22.Define stroke volume -volume of blood pumped per ventricle per contraction
23.Define heart rate -number of heart beats in 1 min. 24.Define cardiac output -volume of blood pumped by a ventricle in 1 min.
Lymphatic system
33.What is adaptive immunity? -This is immunity acquired after birth 34.Define specificity (in terms of adaptive immunity) -Specificity is the ability to recognize a particular substance 35.Define memory (in terms of adaptive immunity) -memory is the ability to respond with increasing effectiveness to successive exposure to the antigen 36.What type of cells does adaptive immunity use? -B & T cells 37.Define antigen -substance that stimulates immune response 38.Define antibody -proteins the body produced in response to antigens 39.What are the 2 types of antigens? -self & foreign antigens 40.Where do blood stem cells originate? -red bone marrow 41.List all you know about B cells? -B cells are anti-body mediated, they mature in the red bone marrow 42.List all you know about T cells? -T cells are cell mediated, they mature in the thymus 43.What are lymphocytes?(develop from stem cells) -these are a type of white blood cells involved in adaptive immunity 44.Where do lymphocytes originate? -stem cells 45.When does adaptive immunity begin?
46.What does MHC stand for?*
