Regulation of Blood Pressure
Type of Short Term BP regulation reflex that has sensory receptors sensitive to O2, CO2, and pH levels of blood
Chemoreceptor Reflex
Only structure that filters lymph
Lymph Nodes
Most important cellular components of immune system. Must be able to move into infected tissues and destroy infection
White blood Cells
Type of immunity that uses B Cells
Humoral or Antibody-mediated
Connects the larynx to the primary bronchi
Trachea
This hormone causes increase reabsorption of sodium and water by the kidney
Aldosterone
Organ that destroys defective RBCs
Spleen
Lyse tumor and virus-infected cells
Natural Cell Killers
Immunity thats effective against extracellular antigens
Antibody Mediated
The right lung contains how many lobes
3
Long term BP mechanism that causes the movement of fluid from interstitial spaces into capillaries in response to decrease in blood pressure to maintain blood volume and vice versa.
Fluid Shift
List the 3 functions of the lymphatic system
Fluid Balance
Fat Absorption
Defense
Phagocytic and first cells to enter infected tissue; last only a few hours.
Neutrophils
state of unresponsiveness of lymphocytes to a specific antigen. Most common is unresponsiveness to self antigens
Tolerance
Where gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood takes place
Alveoli
Short Term BP regulation that results from high carbon dioxide or low pH levels in medulla and increases peripheral resistance
Ischemic Response
Palatine
Pharyngeal
Lingual
Type of inflammatory response that occurs in many parts of the body and produces symptoms such as fever
Systemic
List the two steps for a specific immune response to occur
Activation
Proliferation
Part of pharynx that opens into the larynx and esophagus
Laryngopharynx
Hormone thats released from cardiac muscle cells when atrial blood pressure increases, simulating an increase in urinary production
Atrial natriuretic hormone
Site of maturation of T cells
Thymus
Cells that leaves blood and enter tissues to reduce inflammation by breaking down chemicals produced by basophils and mast cells.
Eosinophils
Type of adaptive immunity that occurs when someone is vaccinated against a disease
Active Artificial
volume still remaining in respiratory passages and lungs after most forceful expiration
Residual volume
