Lumen
The name "leucocytes" derives from the physical appearance of a blood sample after centrifugation. It was from the Greek word of λευκάcyt. What does it mean?
It is from the word "leuk-" means white and "-cyt" means blood. Hence, it means white blood (cells)
What is the single layer of cells with smooth inner surface?

carboxyhaemoglobin , oxygen
What is the function of "Tunica Intima"?
To reduce friction
WBC who secrete such as chemical like histamine, a marker of allergic disease are...
Basophil
What is the flow of oxygen-rich blood?
Enters the heart from the lungs and goes out to the body
What is the function of tricuspid valve?
Closes during ventricular systole to prevent backflow of blood from the right ventricle back into the right atrium
Dizziness, vomitting, fatigue, and shortness of breath are some symptoms of .....
Altitude sickness
What structure is present in 3 of the blood vessels? (Artery, Capillary, Vein)
Endothelium (inner lining)
WBC who is responsible for tissue damage & inflammation in many disease, including asthma is ...
Eosinophil
It is broad and elastic with concentric fenestrated sheets of elastin, and collagen and only relatively few smooth muscle fibres. It is the middle of the artery and vein.
Tunica media
What is the 3 layers of tissue?
Epicardium, Myocardium, Endocardium
1) Partial pressure of oxygen gets higher as altitude increases
2) Haemoglobin becomes more saturated in higher altitude
3) Less oxygen caried in higher altitude
The false statement/s about high altitude is/are ....
1 and 2
The pressure of Aorta is ....... (include units)
120 mmHg to 85 mmHg
What happens after carbonic anhydrase has catalyzed a reaction involved in the transport of carbon dioxide?
It will form the formation of carbon dioxide and water from carbonic acid.
In systemic circulation, oxygenated blood moving out of the left ventrical through aorta. Why it is through aorta?

Cardiovascular disease
The older unit of pressure in medicine is .......
Millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
When the body doesn't have enough time to adjust to the change in altitude, it will increase in rate/ depth of breath. Leading to dizziness and weakness. Arterioles dilate for more oxygen transport - blood flow into the capillary bed more-oedema. What happens to the brain when there is oedema?
Oedema in the brain can lead to disorientation.
Located in the right upper chamber of the heart, it automatically produces cyclical electrical activity to commence each heartbeat in normal sinus rhythm to stimulate contraction.
Sinoatrial node
What features transmit the impulse to contract cells at once ?
Intercalated discs
This condition is due to increased blood pressure, causing fluid to leak from the blood vessels to lung tissues and into the air sacs. This disease is known as.....
High-altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE)
