Heart
Valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
What is a bicuspid/mitral valve?
ECG wave during atrial depolarization
What is a P wave?
Pressure regulated by the presence of proteins
What is osmotic pressure?
Produces blood cells
What is bone marrow?
Most abundant immune cells
What are neutrophils?
A parameter that changes frequently and affects resistance
What is diameter?
Ion primarily responsible for depolarization in autorhythmic cells
What is Ca2+ ?
Sounds heard while taking blood pressure
What are Korotkoff sounds?
Stored Fe2+ in the liver
What is ferritin?
Cells that recognize MHC I-antigen complex to release perforins, then granzymes, to induce apoptosis
What are cytotoxic T cells?
What is flow rate?
Volume of blood pumped by 1 ventricle during 1 contraction
What is stroke volume?
Responsible for taking up excess fluid and delivering it back to the blood
What is the lymphatic system?
Protein that transports bilirubin in blood
What is albumin?
Blood type that can donate to all blood types
What is type O?
Blood vessels primarily responsible for systemic BP changes
Fibers that act as pacemakers (25-40 bpm) in very extreme conditions
What are Purkinje fibers?
Causes vasoconstriction when it binds to NE/Epi
What is an alpha adrenergic receptor?
Ion required in every step of the coagulation cascade
What is Ca2+ ?
Cytokine that induces fever
What is a pyrogen?
Sustained muscle contraction resulted from AP summation
What is tetanus?
Autonomic system that regulates both heart rate and stroke volume
What is the sympathetic system?
Systolic pressure minus diastolic pressure
Total % of RBC's in whole blood
What is hematocrit?
Protein that tags a foreign particle, making it easier for phagocytes to eat and destroy it
What is an opsonin?
