Histology
This epithelium is lined by a single layer of flat cells and is ideal for rapid diffusion. A location of this epithelium is the alveoli of the lungs.
What is simple squamous epithelium?
This hormone is produced by pancreatic beta cells and decreases blood glucose levels.
What is insulin?
These three components make up the formed elements of blood.
What are red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets?
This chamber of the heart receives blood from the superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and the coronary sinus.
What is the right atrium?
This is the difference between squamous epithelium in the epidermis of the skin and squamous epithelium in the esophagus.
What is keratinizing vs. non-keratinizing?
This epithelium lines much of the respiratory tract and is ciliated. It appears stratified due to the nuclei of these cells appearing at different points on the cells.
What is pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium?
This part of the pituitary gland released oxytocin and ADH.
What is the posterior pituitary?
or
What is the neurohypophysis?
This is the most abundant white blood cell, making up about 50-70% of circulating WBCs. An increase in this leukocyte is associated with a bacterial infection.
What is a neutrophil?
This valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle and has two chordae tendinae attached.
What is the bicuspid valve?
or
What is the mitral valve?
This is the diameter of a red blood cell.
What is 8 um?
Using a microscope, this tissue type is identified with striations, branching interconnections, and intercalated discs.
What is cardiac muscle tissue?
These cells are located outside thyroid follicles and secrete calcitonin, which decreases blood calcium.
What are C cells?
This is the approximate blood volume of a 220 lb individual.
What is 7 Liters?
This muscle is present in the right atrium.
What is pectinate muscle?
Unlike most veins of the heart, these veins do not drain into the coronary sinus and instead empty directly into the right atrium.
What are the anterior cardiac veins?
This type of cartilage contains chondrocytes in lacunae surrounded by a network of elastic fibers, allowing it to bend and return to its original shape.
What is elastic cartilage?
This layer of the adrenal cortex produces cortisol and makes up the largest portion of the cortex.
What is the zona fasciculata?
This infection/reaction is associated with an increase in eosinophils in the differential WBC count.
What are parasitic infections and allergic reactions?
Put these structures in the correct order for the cardiac conduction system: SA node, Purkinje fibers, internodal pathways, bundle branches, bundle of His, AV node.
What is SA node -> internodal pathways -> AV node -> Bundle of His -> bundle branches -> Purkinje fibers
These clusters of endocrine cells within the pancreas contain hormone-secreting cells such as alpha and beta cells.
What are Islets of Langerhans?
A student sees closely packed parallel collagen fibers with elongated fibroblast nuclei compressed between them. Unlike smooth muscle, the tissue has little cellular material and abundant collagen fibers and extracellular matrix.
What is dense regular connective tissue?
In males, this hormone targets Sertoli cells, promoting sperm maturation and stimulating the production of inhibin.
What is Follicle-Stimulating Hormone?
An unknown blood sample agglutinates with anti-A and anti-D antibodies but shows no reaction with anti-B. This is the patient's blood type.
What is A+?
A patient has an end-diastolic volume of 140 mL, an end-systolic volume of 60 mL, and a heart rate of 75 beats/min. This is their cardiac output.
What is 6,000 mL/min?
This structure is found only in the right ventricle, carries part of the cardiac conduction system, and helps coordinate ventricular contraction.
What is the moderator band?
