Cell-ebrate!
These four basic tissue types form the building blocks of the body.
Epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues
This is an example of a physical or chemical barrier in innate immunity.
Skin, mucous membranes, or stomach acid
This electrolyte imbalance causes muscle weakness, arrhythmias, and flattened T-waves on ECG.
Hypokalemia
This hormone, produced by the kidneys, stimulates red blood cell production.
Erythropoietin
This structure is where gas exchange occurs in the lungs.
Alveoli
This cellular adaptation occurs when cells shrink in size from disuse or poor blood supply.
Atrophy
This white blood cell is the first responder in acute inflammation.
Neutrophil
This pressure, created by plasma proteins like albumin, pulls fluid back into capillaries.
Oncotic pressure
This type of anemia results from vitamin B12 deficiency.
Pernicious anemia
This condition is characterized by air in the pleural space causing lung collapse.
Pneumothorax
This form of programmed cell death removes unneeded or damaged cells in a controlled way.
Apoptosis
This plasma protein system helps tag pathogens for destruction by phagocytes.
Complement system
This is a clinical sign is a hallmark of hypervolemia.
Edema, weight gain, or jugular venous distension
This side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation.
Right side
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema together make up this common chronic disease.
COPD
This lack of oxygen is the most common cause of cellular injury.
Hypoxia
This antibody mediates type I hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis.
IgE
This is the primary compensatory mechanism for respiratory acidosis.
Renal retention of bicarbonate
This condition, caused by atherosclerosis, is the most common cause of myocardial infarction.
Coronary artery occlusion
Right-sided heart failure caused by chronic lung disease is called this.
Cor pulmonale
During irreversible cell injury, these enzymes leak into the blood and are used to diagnose myocardial infarction.
Troponin and CK-MB
This is why passive immunity does not provide long-term protection.
It does not create memory cells
This acid-base disorder is most likely in a patient with severe diarrhea.
Metabolic acidosis
This is the process that breaks down clots after healing is complete.
Fibrinolysis
This is one clinical finding you would expect with pleural effusion.
Diminished breath sounds, dyspnea, or decreased chest expansion
