a. hematocrit
What are the different types of blood vessels?
Arteries, veins, and capillaries.
This is the largest lymphoid organ.
Spleen
This structure, commonly called the windpipe, is reinforced by C shaped cartilage rings to prevent collapse.
What is the trachea
What is thrombosis?
local coagulation or clotting of the blood in a part of the circulatory system.
A disease that develops as a result of a mother’s Rh antibodies reacting with the Rh-positive baby is:
a. hemostasis. b. hematopoiesis. c. diapedesis
d.erythroblastosis fetalis
d. erythroblastosis fetalis
These blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart.
Arteries
These can be located at the back of the throat and near the posterior opening of the nasal cavity.
Tonsils
This mechanism moves mucus upward toward the pharynx using coordinated cilia movement.
What is the ciliary escalator
This term describes the membrane that lines the respiratory tract.
what is the respiratory mucosa
If part of a blood clot is dislodged and circulates through the bloodstream, it is called an:
A: Thrombosis B: Fibrinogen C: Prothrombin Activator
D: Embolus
D: Embolus
_______are the thicker chambers of the heart, which are sometimes called the discharging chambers.
ventricles
When T-cells are activated, what chemical messengers do they release?
Cytokins
This flap of cartilage prevents food from entering the trachea when swallowing.
What is the Epiglottis
The strength of the heart contraction and blood volume are two factors that influence blood pressure. Two other factors that influence blood pressure are ______ and ______.
Blood Viscosity & Resistance to Blood Flow
The two types of connective tissue that make blood cells are _____ and ______.
myeloid tissue, lymphoid tissue
This major artery is the largest in the body and distributes oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
Arteries
After the first stage of B-Cell Development from stem cells into immature B-cells, how do they mature from Inactive B-Cells into an Activated B-Cell?
Only if an inactive B cell comes in contact with certain antigens whose shape fit into the B cells surface antibody molecules (interlock).
Although both lungs contain multiple lobes, this lung has fewer due to space constraints from the heart.
What is the left lung
_____ are the receptors that modify respiratory rates by responding to the amount of carbon dioxide , oxygen , or acid levels in the blood.
Chemoreceptors
Which term describes what occurs when blood pH decreased below 7.35 and 7.45 toward neutral (7.00)
A: Leukemia B: Anemia C: Carbaminohemoglobin (Hb + CO2) D: Acidosis
D: Acidosis
What are the names of the four chambers in the heart?
Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle.
This is the resistance to disease organisms that results from the actions of cells.
Cell mediated immunity
This substance reduces surface tension in the alveoli, preventing their collapse during respiration.
What is surfactant
The immunity that develops against polio after a person receives a polio vaccination is an example of:
Active Artificial Immunity
