What is the difference between blood plasma and serum? 

Blood Plasma contains the clotting factor (fibrinogen), while serum does not contain this.

100

Which blood vessel contains the most oxygenated blood?

pulmonary vein

100

What are the two factors for Cardiac Output

CO = HR x SV

100
What is hypovolemic shock?

Shock due to loss of blood volume

100

What is a function of the lymphatic system?

Recovers fluid/lipid absorption

Activate immune responses

Return fluids back to bloodstream

200

What kind of leukocyte is shown in the image below?

Basophil

200

Name the three layers of the heart wall.

epicardium, myocardium, endocardium

200

What are the four phases to the cardiac cycle?

1) Ventricular Filling

2) Isovolumetric Contraction

3) Ventricular Ejection

4) Ventricular Relaxation

200
Name one method for blood  to travel back to the heart.

Any of the following is acceptable:

Pressure Gradient, Gravity, Skeletal muscle pump, Thoracic pump, Cardiac suction

200

What are the two collecting ducts in the lymphatic system?

Right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct

300

List the three forms hemostasis.

Vascular spasm, platelet plug form, coagulation

300

What structure prevents AV valves from flipping into the atria during contractions?

chordae tendineae

300

Why do we hear the heart sounds? What causes them?

Closure of the valves; First sound is the closure of the AV valve, second valve is the closure of the semilunar valve

300

How does the brain control its blood flow?

Measuring the CO2 concentration through the pH

CO2 + H2O <--> H2CO3 <--> H+ + (HCO3)-

300

What are the primary lymphatic organs?

Red bone marrow and thymus

400

What is the blood type in the image above?

A-
400

Which type of cardiac arrhythmia is shown below?

Atrial fibrillation

400

What are the three factors that affect stroke volume?

Preload, Contractility, Afterload

400

Calculate the MAP from a BP of 135/75.

MAP = DAP + 1/3*PP

PP = SAP - DAP = 135-75 = 60 mmHg

MAP = 75 + 1/3*60 = 95 mmHg

400

What is the function of the spleen?

Recycles red blood cells

Monitors blood for foreign antigens

Stabilizes blood volume

500

How does one treat Maternal-Fetal Blood Type Mismatches?

Mother is treated with RhoGAM, which binds to the mother's agglutinogens and prevents her from creating anti-D antibodies

500

What ion is important for a longer depolarization event in the myocardium?

Calcium (Ca+)

500

What do positive inotropic agents do?

Raise calcium levels to increase contractility

500

Which hormone is a potent vasoconstrictor?

Angiotensin II

500

How does the lymphatic system absorb lipids?

Lacteals absorb the dietary lipids that cannot be absorbed by capillaries.
