What is MELATONIN

These are the three functions of blood
What is TRANSPORTATION, REGULATION, and PROTECTION
100
This is plasma minus the clotting proteins
What is SERUM
100
Provides a smooth lining for the chambers of the heart and covers the valves of the heart
What is the ENDOCARDIUM
200
These are protein hormones that are lipid-soluble
What are THYROID HORMONES
200
This hormones increases the flexibility of the pubic symphysis during pregnancy and helps dilate the cervix during L&D.
What is RELAXIN
200
This is the process by which the formed elements of blood develop
What is HEMOPOIESES
200
A high blood count of these could indicate an allergic reaction, parasitic infection or an autoimmune disease.
What is EOSINOPHILS
200
Found in the ventricles, these connect to the chordae tendineae that anchor the cusps of the AV valves to papillary muscles
What is TRABECULAE CARNEAE
300
An example of this is: Susie Q drinks starts off the semester drinking a cup of coffee a day, which helps her to stay awake during lecture. After the first six weeks of school, Susie Q now has to drink 3 cups of coffee to get the same caffeine rush.
What is DOWN-REGULATION
300
Protein breakdown, glucose formation, lipolysis, depression of the immune system, anti-inflammatory effects, and resistance to stress are all actions of this hormone.
What is CORTISOL
300
This is the precursor cell of thrombocytes
What is a MEGAKARYOBLAST
300
This factor strengthens and stabilizes the fibrin threads into a sturdy clot
What is FACTOR XIII
300
The deoxygenated blood carried by the cardiac veins drain into this. This will then transport the blood to the right atrium.
What is the CORONARY SINUS
400
This type of hormone activates protein kinase's, which in turn phosphorylate proteins in the cell. Phosphorylation activates and inactivates proteins in the cell, which in turn cause reactions that produce physiological responses.
What is WATER-SOLUBLE HORMONES
400
When secreted in excess this hormone causes the bones to grow appositionally-aka: "big boned" (assume the epiphyseal growth plate is present)
What is CALCITONIN
400
Produced in the kidneys, this hormone is secreted during hypoxia.
What is EPO, ERTHROPOIETEN
400
This results from an inability of the stomach to produce intrinsic factor, which is needed for the absorption of vitamin B12
What is PERNICIOUS ANEMIA
400
This is also known as the visceral layer of the serous pericardium
What is the EPICARDIUM
500
An example of this is: hGH, insulin, and thyroid hormones working together to accelerate body growth.
What is SYNERGISM
500
The hypophyseal portal system bring blood into the superior hypophyseal arteries, which then travel here. Then the blood drains into the hyposphyseal portal veins.
What is the PRIMARY PLEXUS OF THE HYPOHYSEAL PORTAL SYSTEM
500
This is produced when bilirubin combines with bacteria
What is UROBILINOGEN
500
This results from an inadequate intake of vitamin B12 (folic acid). The results is large, abnormal red blood cells.
What is MEGOBLASTIC ANEMIA
500
Blood from the left atrium passes through this into the left ventricle
