Contraction of the ventricles

What is ventricular systole
100

Location of gas exchange in the lungs

What are alveoli

100

Contains the olfactory and auditory cortexes 

What is the temporal lobe

100

The body’s response that reverses or negates the original stimulus. Examples include most of our hormone regulation. 

What is a negative feedback loop

100

Type of glial cell that helps to maintain the blood brain barrier

What are astrocytes

200

Amount of blood pumped from the heart in one minute

What is cardiac output
200

Protein on red blood cells that carry oxygen to the tissues

What is hemoglobin

200

This helps the brain to “float” and diffuses gasses, nutrients and wastes

What is cerebrospinal fluid. 

200

Special type of bond between polar molecules. Bonds water molecules together. 

What are hydrogen bonds

200
Hormone that tells the kidneys to uptake sodium making water follow resulting in an increase in BP and fluid volume
What is aldosterone
300

Represents ventricular repolarization on an EKG

What is the T wave

300

Type of cell that makes surfactant in the lungs

What is type II pneumocyte
300

Contains the motor and premotor areas of the brain and is responsible for decision making and problem solving

What is the frontal lobe

300

Keeps pH changes small to try and maintain homeostasis

What is a buffer

300

Type of receptor that responds to changes in carbon dioxide, oxygen or pH levels 

What are chemoreceptors

400

Located in ventricular walls and spreads the action potential out so that the ventricles contract

What are purkinje fibers

400

Type of lymphocyte that is part of the innate immune system. Directly attack foreign cells. 

What is a natural killer cell

400

This ion is primarily responsible for depolarization during an action potential

What is sodium

400

A bond is created when an atom gives up an electron to another atom forming a bond

What is an ionic bond

400

Released by alpha cells when blood glucose is low

What is glucagon
500

Prevents backflow into the left atrium during systole

What is the mitral valve

500

Signals B cells and cytotoxic T cells and helps activate them

What are helper T cells

500

A neurotransmitter that is used in a cholinergic synapse especially in skeletal muscle

What is acetylcholine
500

A process by which water molecules move through a semipermeable membrane to equalize the concentration in a solution

What is osmosis

500
