What are the 3 classes of blood vessels in the body?
What are arteries, veins, and capillaries
The 3 components to blood are
What are Erythrocytes, Buffy coat (leukocytes), and Plasma
This type of muscle contraction occurs with no change in length of the muscle
What is an Isometric muscle contraction
This layer of the hierarchy of skeletal muscle contains Muscle fibers
What are the Fasicles
What are the 3 major coronary veins?
What are the greater, middle, and small cardiac veins
This type of capillary is typically found in the red marrow and is ideal for the transport of large substances
What is a Sinusoid capillary
Why are Erythrocytes aka RBC NOT considered true cells?
What are they have no nucleus or organelles
Muscles that prevent movement at a joint are known as what type of muscles?
What are Fixator muscles
What is the Wash Theory
The primary and secondary pacemakers of the heart are known as
What are the Sinoatrial node and Atrioventricular node
The major differences between veins and arteries include
What is pressure and direction
What is the role of Hemoglobin in the body? At one time, how many Oxygen or CO2 molecules can 1 hemoglobin carry at a time
What is oxygen + CO2 transportation. What is 4molecules at one time
Decreasing a joint angle is defined as what kind of movement?
What is flexion?
The 4 unique characteristics of muscle are
What are excitability, contractility, elasticity, extensibility
What are the two types of semilunar valves called and what is their function in the heart?
What is the Tricuspid and Bicuspid valves. They prevent backflow of blood into the Atria
One type of venous return is the skeletal muscle pump. How does skeletal muscle assist in venous return?
What is muscle contraction squeezing the blood up the veins back toward the heart
This protein is released by the kidney's in order to promote the process known as Erythropoiesis. What is the protein called? What is the process of Erythropoiesis?
What is Erythropoietin. What is the creation of red blood cells
Rotation is defined as?
Circumduction is defined as?
What is movement in the transverse plane?
What is circular movement of an appendage where the distal end creates a circle
This neurotransmitter binds to receptors in the motor end plate initiating a muscle impulse that results in this mineral being released so that skeletal muscle can contract.
What is Acetylcholine
What is Calcium
The Right Atrium receives what kind of blood from where, and sends it to which circuit of the body?
What is deoxygenated blood via the inferior and superior vena cava and sends it into the pulmonary circuit
You just got a cut. You are bleeding and your tissue is now exposed. How are leukocytes able to "sniff" out the cut and bacteria that just entered your body?
