Digestive
This organ churns food creating chyme
These vessel is the largest and main artery in the body
This structure carries air from the throat to the lungs
What is the trachea
What is the urethra
Lymph vessels clear interstitial fluid that leaks from capillaries and returns it into blood flow using this fluid
What is lymph?
This is the involuntary movement that causes food to be moved through the digestive tract
These structures are the connections between veins and arteries
What are capillaries?
These tubes are the initial transition from the trachea to the lungs
What are the bronchi
This structure collects and funnels the urine produced by the kidney into the ureter
This organ, located behind the sternum, matures white blood cells
What is the thymus?
A patient has trouble properly absorbing nutrients due to a condition that affects these structures
The blockage of these vital blood vessels could lead to a heart attack
What are the coronary Arteries
This structure ensures food does not enter the lungs when swallowing
What is the epiglottus
What is the kidney
This kind of white blood cell eliminates pathogens by engulfing them
What are macrophages?
A patient has trouble absorbing fat soluble vitamins likely due to the removal of this organ
What is the gall bladder
A probe is inserted in the femoral vein and is advanced towards the heart, before reaching the right atrium the body will passthroug this blood vessel
What is the inferior vena cava?
A patient has a condition that causes their chest to not expand properly, lowering this metric of breathing
What is tidal volume
Damage to this structure causes proteins to appear in the urine due to lack of selective filtration
What is the glomerulus
Following a vaccination a second exposure to the pathogen is fought off much easier due to this type of cell responding
What are memory B cells?
A tumor causes the blockage of the pancreatic duct, although blood sugar remains normal digestion is severely impaired due to the blockage of this fluid
What are pancreatic juice/pancreatic digestive enzymes?
An abnormality in a patient's rights ventricle leads to fluid buildup in this organ due to poor pulmonary circulation
What are the lungs?
Carbon monoxide causes hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) even though it does not affect the lungs dude to its affinity for binding to this molecule
What is hemoglobin?
If a patient's kidneys fail, waste such as urea may accumulate in this place
What is the bloodstream?
Lymph collected from the left arm and both lower limbs drains into the subclavian vein. Before venous drainage the lmyph passes through this major vessel
What is the thoracic duct?
