What is the coronary artery
The valve between the R atrium and the R ventricle
What is the R atrioventricular valve
Red biconcave discs, carry oxygen using hemoglobin
What are red blood cells?
Which lymphatic vessel drains the R upper limb, R thorax, and R half of the head/neck?
The right lymphatic duct
What type of capillary is found in endocrine organs?
Fenestrated
What is the tunica externa (adventitia)?
The most superficial layer of any blood vessel that is loose connective tissue
What type of epithelium lines the inside of the heart known as endocardium?

Which cells are "trained" in the lymphatic system?
T and B white blood cells which are agranular leukocytes specifically lymphocytes
Name of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland

Where are lymphatic capillaries located?
At the same junction of every capillary in your body.

What are the 3 types of capillaries? Describe their structual differences.
1. Continuous, simple squamous endothelium
2. Fenestrated, has holes or "windows" throughout
3. Discontinuous, has large intercellular gaps to allow greater diffusion
