Chap 11
These are also known as platelets
What are thrombocytes
This is the outer layer of the heart
What is the epicardium
When compared with arteries, only veins have this feature
What are valves
Our Leukocytes are an example of this type of immunity
These take blood to the heart
What are Veins
This blood type is known as the universal donor
What is O-
The record of electrical events of the heart
What is an EKG/ECG
The innermost layer of a vein or artery
What is the tunica intima
The type of inflammation confined to a specific area of the body
What is local inflammation
The maturation site for T cells that decreases as we age
What is the thymus
The scientific name for the cells that carry oxygen through the body
What are Erythrocytes
These keep blood flowing in one direction/prevent backflow
What are Valves
The volume of fluid that heads to the lymphatic system at the capillaries
What is 1/10th or 10%
A diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in submucosal membrane sites of the body
What is MALT (mucosa associated lymphatic tissue)
This is the term for blood cell production
What is hematopoiesis
The primary component of plasma
What is water
These heart valves allow blood to leave the heart
What are the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary)
This being higher causes a higher workload on the heart when a patient is dehydrated
What is viscosity
T and B cells originate here
What is Red bone marrow
This type pressure is greater at the arterial end of a capillary (not just BP)
What is hydrostatic
This blood type is the universal recipient
What is AB+
The 5 steps of the conduction system
What are: SA node, AV node, AV bundle, Right and left branches, purkinje fibers
Blood velocity is slowest in these vessels
What are capillaries
Movement towards the source of chemotactic factors
What is chemotaxis?
This factor increases resistance when it decreases in the blood vessel
What is diameter
