What is my (blood) type?
The protein on Red Blood Cells
Antigens
Which nervous system goes with which?
#1: Fight or Flight
#2: Rest and Digest
The only digestion process that begins in the stomach
What is protein digestion
How gases diffuse
What is from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure
___ carries blood toward the heart and __ carries blood away from the heart
What are veins (#1) and arteries (#2)
The Universal Blood Donor and why
What is O- blood type because is has no antigens
The nerve that releases epinephrine into the heart
What is the accelerator nerve which causes the heart rate to speed up
What the stomach produces to protect itself from its acidity
What is mucus
The site of gas exchange between the atmosphere and the blood
What is the aveoli
An enlargement in the airway that helps keep particles from entering the trachea and houses the vocal cords.
What is the Larynx
What the clumping reaction during a transfusion is caused by
The circulation type that transports deoxygenated blood to the lungs to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide. The oxygenated blood then flows back to the heart.
Pulmonary Circulation
The fatty acids in the small intestine are secreted to where
What is: into lacteal of lymphatic system
More oxygen is released when
B-cells that mature in the bone marrow are a type of what?
What is: Leukocyte
Could a man with type AB blood be the father of a child with type O blood
What is: no because he would pass on either the A or the B allele to all of his offspring, so he can't contribute an O to a child, and for a child to have O blood, it has to have OO
Name the sensors that are located in the neck that sense changes in pressure and their function
What are: baroreceptors. When going from lying down to standing up, because of gravity, the blood isn’t hitting them as hard so there's less stretch (they aren’t stretching as much) which sends signals to the sympathetic nervous system to speed the heart up
A hormone that acts on vagal neurons leading back to the medulla oblongata which gives a safety signal (i.e. “That's enough food")
What is CCK (cholecystokinin)
The enzyme that speeds up the reaction of carbonic acid
What is carbonic anyhydrase
Describe the movement of food through the alimentary canal
What is: Food moves through your GI tract by a process called peristalsis. The large, hollow organs of your GI tract contain a layer of muscle that enables their walls to move. The movement pushes food and liquid through your GI tract and mixes the contents within each organ.
What happens if a mother who has developed anti-Rh antibodies becomes pregnant with a second Rh+ fetus
What is: the anti-Rh antibodies can pass through the placental membranes and react with the Rh+ fetal red cells and can cause the fetus to develop erythroblastosis fetalis
Describe the process of the electrical signals and how it causes the heart to beat
The signal starts in the SA node which uses the atria to contract. This initiates an impulse that travels from there to the AV node in the ventricle. The AV node then sends signals along 2 branches that divide into Purkinje fibers and then this causes ventricles to contract.
Name the function of secretin
What is: it stimulates the exocrine portion of the pancreas to secrete bicarbonate into the pancreatic fluid (this neutralizing the acidity of the intestinal contents)
What happens when the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is greater in the blood than in the alveolar air
What is: the carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood and into the alveolar air
The Bohr Effect (describe it and how it affects oxygen release)
What is: the hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen secondary to increases in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide and/or decreased blood pH. This lower affinity enhances the unloading of oxygen into tissues to meet the oxygen demand of the tissue
