This component of blood plasma is responsible for blood clotting.
What is fibrinogen?
This type of anemia arises from the abnormal maturation of the erythrocytes and therefore poorly functionin red blood cells.
What is thalassemic anemia?
These are the two fibers that alter the rate of the cardiac conduction system.
What are parasympathetic fibers and sympathetic fibers?
Thickest layer in the veins. Holds vessels in place.
This photoreceptor responsible for vision in high light levels (photopic vision) and is located primarily in the center of the retina.
What are cones?
Beautiful and dangerous! This type of lymphocyte takes a lot of pleasure in keeping your body parasite free, while also having the color of a pleasant sunset.
What are Eosinophils?
Your patient comes into the emergency department complaining of shortness of breath, and extremely swollen lower extremities. You ask if this happened recently, and they say "No, it was progressive"
What heart condition do you diagnose the patient with?
What is congestive heart failure?
This is the node that sets the pace for the entire heart's conduction system.
What is the sinoatrial (SA) node?
This type of capillary is leaky with very loose junctions and are found in the liver and spleen.
What are sinusoid capillaries?
This is the part of the semicircular canal that senses movement on a vertical basis (as the head & rotates up an down the neck)
What is the The Horizontal Canal?
This is the type of stem cell that gives rise to everything BUT lymphocytes.

What is lymphoma?
Map out the blood flow through the heart starting from the vessels that enter into the heart and ending with the vessels that exit the heart (include valves)
1. Super vena, inferior vena, coronary sinus
2. Right atrium to the right ventricle via the tricuspid valve
3. Pulmonary trunk through the pulmonary semilunar valve
4. Lungs, pulmonary veins bring it on back
5. Left atria to the left ventricle via the bicuspid (mitral) valve
6. Left ventricle to the aorta via the aortic semilunar valve.
This is the second capillary bed in the hepatic portal system.
What is the liver?
A transparent gel that fills the space between the lens and the retina of the eyeball. It helps maintain the shape of the eye and keeps the retina connected to the back wall of the eye, while also helping absorb shocks to the eye.
