White Blood Cells
This white blood cell type is our most common, fights mostly bacterial infections, and is considered to be Granular.
Neutrophils
The term for the proteins on the outside of Red Blood Cells that determine your blood type.
Antigens
A weakened area in a vessel that results in a bulge of the vessel that may burst and hemorrhage.
Aneurysm
The Special Name given to the left atrioventricular valve with it's two cusps.
Mitral Valve
This organ produces Renin and Erythropoietin, is affected by Antidiuretic hormone, and helps to balance blood pH by excretion.
Kidneys
These extra large White Blood Cells, develop into macrophages outside of circulation and can be found either wandering the body in the vessels, or fixed within the tissue.
Monocytes
If an individual has both A and B antiBODIES then what blood type does that individual have?
O
Why does Varicose veins form primarily in superficial veins?
Deep Veins are able to have more pressure because of surrounding tissue and thus deform less.
These structures, also known as the 'heart strings' are fibrous cords that connect the atrioventricular valve cusps to papillary muscles.
Chordae Tendineae
This hormone, which causes vasoconstriction, will increase when you need to activate your 'fight or flight' response.
Epinephrine
This granulocyte is the rarest of all white blood cells, is released during allergic reactions, and contain both histamine and heparin to intensify inflammation.
Basophils
This factor is the Positive or Negative part of your blood type.
Rh factor
This type of shock is caused by an imbalance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic stimulation, and usually is the result of a spinal cord injury.
The differences between arteries and veins include the size and width of the walls of the vessels, differences in the size of the lumen, and the presence of these within Veins, preventing backflow.
Valves
Platelets are made by fragmenting off of these cells, located in Bone Marrow.
These agranulocytes are responsible for mostly for cell mediated immunity; producing antibodies that recognize the antigens of potential pathogens.
B Cells
O- Negative Blood is considered to be the Universal Donor of blood because of what reason?
A Complete lack of both A, B, and RH antigens.
Also called 'Economy Class Syndrome', this condition forms deep in the leg and is the most common cause for a pulmonary embolism.
Deep-Vein Thrombosis
The presence of these structures, located in the ascending aorta and in the carotid sinus are responsible for monitoring pressure within the vessels.
Baroreceptors
This term means movement of a motile cell or organism, in a direction corresponding to a gradient of increasing or decreasing the concentration of a particular chemical.
Chemotaxis
This subcategory of white blood cells use cytotoxins to rapidly respond to virus infected cells, stressed cells, and Tumor cells.
Natural Killer Cells
A patient is given the wrong blood type and the transfused blood begins to undergo agglutination; what does that mean?
The cells begin to clump and clot.
Surviving a blockage of this artery, also known as the 'widow maker', which results in a heart attack, may make you a mad LAD.
Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery
These structures found in both ventricles, but with a much larger amount in the RIGHT ventricle are raised bundles of cardiac fibers that help convey part of the Conduction system for a heart beat.
Trabeculae Carneae
Testosterone has a direct affect in the production of this hormone, which in turn is directly tied to stimulating bone marrow to make more red blood cells.
Erythropoietin
