R&R
GI & GU
100

This hormone, the final output of the HPA axis, is primarily released in response to stress.

Cortisol

100

This blood type is considered the Universal Donor because it lacks both A and B antigens on its red blood cells.

O neg

100

This type of MHC molecule is found on nearly all nucleated body cells and presents endogenous (intracellular) antigens.

MHC 1

100

During normal, quiet inhalation, the pressure inside the lungs, or intrapulmonary pressure, becomes this compared to atmospheric pressure.

less than

100

Chemical digestion for this macromolecule begins in the stomach with the enzyme pepsin.

protein

200

High levels of T3 and T4 inhibit the release of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland, which is an example of this control mechanism.

Negative Feedback

200

This immune response, the clumping of red blood cells occurs when recipient antibodies bind to donor antigens.

agglutination

200

This is the most abundant class of antibody in the blood and is the dominant antibody involved in the secondary immune response due to its long half-life.

IgG

200

(Antidiuretic Hormone) regulates the reabsorption of water by specifically targeting this nephron structure.

collecting duct

200

The release of the hormone secretin is primarily triggered by this condition in the duodenum.

decreased duodenal pH

300

GnRH stimulates the release of these two gonadotropins from the anterior pituitary that target the gonads.

LH & FSH

300

This measurement is calculated by multiplying the heart rate by stroke volume

Cardiac Output

300

Helper T cell is activated when it recognizes an antigen presented by an Antigen-Presenting Cell using this specific MHC class.

MHC II

300

This is the primary form in which CO2 is transported in the blood.

Bicarbonate

300

Name the tube that sperm enters after leaving the epididymis and before joining the ejaculatory duct.

vas deferens

400

his outer layer of the Adrenal Cortex releases Mineralocorticoids, like aldosterone, to regulate Na & K

Zona Glomerulosa

400

On an ECG, this complex represents the electrical depolarization of the ventricles.

QRS complex

400

This is the primary difference between the Innate and Adaptive immune systems, allowing the Adaptive system to respond much faster and stronger upon second exposure.

memory

400

The reabsorption of this specific ion is regulated by Parathyroid Hormone in the Distal Convoluted Tubule

Calcium

400

Fertilization of the oocyte normally occurs in this specific region of the female reproductive tract.

ampulla of oviduct

500

this hormone promotes energy storage by increasing glucose uptake into cells and glycogen synthesis, and is released when blood glucose is high

insulin

500

An increase in Capillary Hydrostatic Pressure, often due to hypertension, will cause an increase in this process at the capillary bed, potentially leading to edema.

Filtration

500

When a virus enters the body, the initial response involves cells like macrophages and Natural Killer cells, classifying it as this type of immunity.

Innate Immunity

500

A blood sample with a pH of 7.25 and a high PCO2 indicates this specific type of acid-base imbalance.

respiratory acidosis

500

This uterine cycle phase occurs simultaneously with the ovarian luteal phase and is characterized by progesterone dominance to prepare the endometrium for implantation.
