Anatomy of the Heart
This chamber of the heart pumps oxygenated blood to the body.
What is the Left Ventricle
This type of blood vessels contains valves to prevent the back flow of blood.
What are veins
This proteins is found in Erythocytes and allow it to transport oxygen.
What is Hemoglobin.
This classification of the respiratory system refers to the conducting and respiratory division.
What is the physiological classification.
This laboratory measurement refers to the percentage by volume of Erythrocytes in the blood.
What is Hematocrit.
Blood returning from the body enters the heart through this structure.
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava.
This blood cell is primarily responsible for transporting oxygen.
What are Erythrocytes.
This hormone, primarily produced by the kidneys, stimulates red blood cell production.
What is Erythropoetin.
These cells line the respiratory mucosa and move the mucociliary escalator.
What are psuedostratified columnar cells.
This kind of cartilage makes up the rings of the Trachea, providing it with structural support.
What is Hyaline Cartilage.
This valve prevents backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
What is the Mitral (bicuspid) valve
These sensory cells respond to changes in CO2, O2, or pH levels in the blood and CSF.
What are Chemoreceptors.
This type of white blood cell is the most abundant in circulation and is a key responder in acute bacterial infections.
What are neutrophils.
This compound is released by type II alveolar cells and is responsible for maintaining surface tension and preventing alveolar collapse.
What is Surfactant.
This sound of the heart is caused by the closing of the semilunar valves.
What is the S2 "dupp" sound.
This is the correct order of electrical impulse conduction through the heart.
What is SA node, AV node, bundle of His, Purkinje Fibers.
This structural adaptation allows arteries to withstand greater pressure than veins.
What is thicker smooth muscle and layers of elastic tissue.
This is the second step in Hemostasis. It is marked by the disruption of the endothelium and exposure of collagen.
What is the platelet plug formation.
This graph depicts how the the pressure of Oxygen is proportional to its ability to bond Hemoglobin.
What is the Oxygen Hemoglobin Saturation Curve.
The rate of filtration along a capillary is dependent on these forces.
What are starling forces.
This portion of the electrocardiogram appears as the ventricles depolarize.
What is the QRS complex.
This change of force would cause more to move out of the capillaries and into the tissues, resulting in edema (swelling).
Increase Hydrostatic pressure.
This type of transfusion reaction occurs when recipient antibodies bind donor erythrocytes, activate complement, and cause intravascular hemolysis within minutes of transfusion.
ABO Incompatibility (acute hemolytic transfusion reaction)
The "Bhor Effect" states how pH is related to Hemoglobin saturation. What compound is primarily responsible for this phenomenon?
What is Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Respiratory rate, tidal volume, and Dead air are all used to calculate this respiratory value.
What is Alveolar Ventilation Rate.
