Blood
The blood has these three functions.
What is transportation, regulation and protection?
The right side of the heart; carries blood to the lungs for gas exchange.
What is the pulmonary circuit?
The total molarity of those dissolved particles that cannot pass through the blood vessel wall.
What is osmolarity?
Region of spontaneous firing (not SA)
What is ectopic foci?
Low O2- carrying capacity.
What is anemia?
Most abundant transport protein.
What is albumin?
The area where cardiocytes are joined end to end.
What are intercalated discs?
Myeloid stem cells and lymphoid stem cells arise from these cells.
What are pluripotent stem cells?
Left side of heart; supplies blood to all organs of the body.
What is the systemic circuit?
Give rise to erythrocytes, megakaryocytes, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, and monocytes.
What is myeloid hematopoiesis?
The precursor to blood clotting protein.
What is fibrinogen?
What is the atrioventricular (AV) node?
Cancer of red bone marrow.
What is primary polycythemia?
Factors that raise the heart rate.
What are positive chronotropic agents?
Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are types of these leukocytes.
What are granulocytes?
Transport hormones, lipids, and metals and provide immunity.
What are globulins?
Pacemaker, initiates heartbeat.
What is the sinoatrial (SA) node?
Gives rise to natural killer cells, B and T lymphocytes.
Cardiac centers of the autonomic nervous system are located in this
What is the medulla oblongata?
All plasma proteins are formed by liver EXCEPT:
What are immunoglobulins?
Resistance of fluid to flow, resulting from the cohesion of its particles.
What is viscosity?
Pathway for signals from AV node.
What is the AV bundle?
Dehydration, high altitude, physical conditioning, or emphysema can lead to this.
What is secondary polcythemia?
In the aorta and internal carotid arteries; send signals to the cardiac center.
What are baroreceptors?
Monocytes and lymphocytes are examples of this leukocyte.
What are agranulocytes?
