Heart Basics
This circulation carries blood between the heart and lungs
Pulmonary circulation
These vessels carry blood away from the heart
Arteries
Blood is made of these two major components
Plasma and formed elements
The lymphatic system returns this fluid to the bloodstream
itssue (interstitial) fluid
This immunity works without recognizing specific antigens
Nonspecific immunity
This circulation carries blood to the rest of the body
Systemic circulation
These vessels carry blood toward the heart
Veins
These cells carry oxygen
Red blood cells (RBCs
Name the two major lymphatic ducts
Thoracic duct and right lymphatic duct
This immunity depends on recognizing antigen
Specific immunity
Name the four chambers of the heart
Right atrium, left atrium, right ventricle, left ventricle
These vessels allow exchange of oxygen and nutrients
Capillaries
These blood cells protect against infection
White blood cells (WBCs)
These structures filter lymph and contain lymphocytes
Lymph nodes
Which cells provide cellular immunity?
T cells
This phase of the cardiac cycle is when the heart contracts
Systole
Name the three veins commonly used for venipuncture
Median cubital (median), cephalic, basilic
hese blood components are responsible for clotting
Platelets
This disorder is caused by blocked lymphatic vessels
Lymphedema
Which cells produce antibodies?
B cells
What instrument measures blood pressure?
Sphygmomanometer
Which vessel layer is the only layer found in capillaries?
Tunica intima
Name the four phases of hemostasis
Vascular, Platelet, Coagulation, Fibrinolysis
What severe form of lymphedema causes massive swelling?
Elephantiasis
Name the three immune disorders discussed in Chapter 7
Autoimmunity, Allergy, SCID
