Endocrine
A protein within a cell or on the cell membrane that binds a hormone, initiating the target cell response
Hormone receptor
The liquid extracellular matrix composed mostly of water that circulates the formed elements and dissolved materials throughout the cardiovascular system
Plasma
The innermost layer of the heart wall
Term for turbulent blood flow
Murmur
The disorder causing agglutination and hemolysis in an Rh+ fetus or newborn of an Rh− person
Hemolytic disease of the newborn or erythroblastosis fetalis
Hormone that is unable to cross plasma membrane and must utilize a secondary messenger system to exert its effect
Water soluble hormone
The volume percentage of erythrocytes in a sample of centrifuged blood
Hematocrit
Chamber of the heart that has the thickest myocardium and ejects blood through the aortic semilunar valve
The left ventricle
Creates the S1 lub heart sound
Closing of the AV valves
Vessels have thinner walls, less muscle in the tunica media, and valves
Veins
This hormone from the adrenal cortex increases blood glucose levels and plays a role in the inflammatory response
Cortisol (glucocorticoids)
The most abundant plasma protein and main contributor to maintenance of osmotic pressure
Vessel of the heart that drains deoxygenated blood from the myocardium for return to the right atrium
Coronary sinus
What does the t-wave on an ECG represent?
Ventricular repolarization
Atrial pressure resulting from ventricular pressure is known as
Systole
This hormone is released from the thyroid when hypercalcemia is present
Calcitonin
Type of anemia caused by a genetic mutation, resulting in abnormally shaped hemoglobin and erythrocytes
Sickle cell
The pacemaker of the cardiac conduction system, located in the roof of the right atrium
The sinoatrial (SA) node
The amount of blood pumped by each ventricle per minute (~5.25L/min)
Cardiac output
This clotting pathway is also called the Tissue Factor Pathway; it is a faster response and begins with damage to surrounding tissues, traumatic injury
Extrinsic pathway
The site of production of the hormone that acts on the kidney tubules to increase water resorption
Hypothalamus
Blood type represented by agglutination in a well with anti-A and anti-D
Type A+
The coronary arteries arise from which vessel?
Which portion of the autonomic nervous system is activated when baroreceptors and chemoreceptors detect decreasing blood flow, blood pressure, and cardiac output
Sympathetic nervous system
Type of shock that results when arterioles lose muscular tone
Vascular
