Blood, Sweat & Tears
These blood cells help initiate clot formation
Platelets
The tiny air sacs in the lungs that are the primary sites of gas exchange are the ______ which rely on the presence of _______ to keep them open
Alveoli, Surfactant
This organ produces bile to assist with the digestion of fats _______, and this organ stores it ________
Liver, gallbladder
These tubes carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder
Ureters
These female reproductive organs produce ova and secrete hormones
Ovaries
This iron-containing protein allows red blood cells to transport oxygen
Hemoglobin
This lymphatic organ filters blood and is the largest organ of the lymphatic system
Spleen
This is the first segment of the small intestine, immediately after the stomach
Duodenum
This microscopic functional unit of the kidney filters blood and produces urine
Nephron
A patient is hypoventilating and retaining carbon dioxide. As CO₂ accumulates, blood pH decreases. This acid-base disturbance is developing
Respiratory Acidosis
This heart chamber pumps oxygen-rich blood into systemic circulation
Left ventricle
A person receives a vaccine and develops their own immune memory. This is an example of this type of immunity
Artificial Active Immunity
These folds in the stomach allow it to expand as it fills with food _______ While these structures increase the surface area to facilitate absorption in the small intestine _______
Rugae, Villi and Microvilli
This hormone increases water reabsorption by the kidneys
ADH
A patient with impaired kidney function develops elevated serum potassium levels, known as ________, which puts them at risk for __________
Hyperkalemia, cardiac dysrhythmias
A patient develops chest pain because narrowed coronary arteries are not supplying enough oxygen to the heart muscle, also known as _______. This symptom is called ________
Ischemia, Angina
A patient with HIV has a reduced ability to coordinate immune responses because the virus primarily targets these immune cells
CD4+ Helper T Cells
This enzyme begins the chemical digestion of starches in the mouth
Amylase
During urine formation, useful water and substances move from the renal tubules back into the blood through this process
Reabsorption
A patient is breathing rapidly and deeply, causing excessive carbon dioxide to be eliminated. As CO₂ levels fall, the blood becomes increasingly alkaline. What specific acid–base imbalance is developing, and what pH level would be expect to find?
Respiratory alkalosis, Above 7.45
A patient experiences major blood loss, causing decreased circulating volume and inadequate tissue perfusion. What type of shock is occuring?
Hypovolemic
A patient receives an injection of preformed antibodies following a high-risk exposure. Protection begins quickly but does not typically produce lasting immune memory. Identify the specific type of immunity
Artificial Passive Immunity
A patient develops yellowing of the skin and eyes due to bilirubin buildup after an obstruction in a bile duct. This condition is called what
Jaundice
During urine formation, certain substances move directly from the blood surrounding the nephron into the renal tubules for elimination, a process known as
Secretion
A patient with prolonged hypoventilation retains excessive CO₂, causing blood pH to fall. The kidneys attempt to compensate by increasing the reabsorption of this substance, which helps buffer excess acid.
Bicarbonate HCO3-
