Term
define systolic pressure
Definition
top #. the force exerted by blood on arterial walls during ventricular contraction; the highest pressure measures in the large arteries, about 120 mmHg under normal conditions for a young adult
Term
define diastolic pressure
Definition
bottom #. the force exerted by blood on arterial walls during ventricular relaxation; the lowest blood pressure measured in the large arteries, normally about 80 mmHg in a young adult
Term
define pulse pressure
Definition
the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure.
Term
describe the pressure gradients that determine fluid flow across capillary walls

explain the factors that determine blood pressure, and how the baroreceptor reflex regulates blood pressure
Definition
Term
state the major site of hematopoiesis in adults
Definition
red bone marrow
Term
list the three main types of blood cells and the major function of each
Definition
red blood cells-
white blood cells-
Term
function of B-cells in the immune response
Definition
processes and presents antigen to helper T-cells, differentiates into antibody-producing plasma cell
Term
function of cytotoxic t-cells in the immune response
Definition
kills host target cells by releasing granzymes that induce apoptosis, perforin that forms channgels to cause cytolysis, granulysin that destroys microbes, lymphotoxin that destroys target cell DNA, gamma-interferon that attracts macrophages and increses their phagocytic activity, and macrophage migration inhibition factor that prevents macrophage migration from site of infection
Term
function of helper t-cells in the immune response
Definition
cooperates with B cells to amplify antibody production by plasma cells and secretes interleukin-2, which stimulates proliferation of T cells and B cells. May secrete gamma-IFN and tumor necrosis facor (TNF), which stimulate inflammatory response
Term
function of memory cells in the immune response
Definition
remains in lymphatic tissue and recognizes original invading antigens, even years after the first encounter
Term
function of antibodies in the immune response
Definition
they act to disable antigens by: neutralizing antigen, immobilizing bacteria, agglutinating and precipitating antigen, activating complement, enhancing phagocytosis
Term
distinguish between antibody-mediated immunity and cell-mediated immunity
Definition
p. 45 mod 4
Term
distinguish between the primary and secondary immune response
Definition
primary immune response- the initial contact with an antigen, no antibodies are present for a period of several days, then a slow rise in the antibody occurs
secondary immune response- a new encounter with the same antigen resulting in a rapid proliferation of memory cells
Term
list the structures/organs of the digestive tract in order. state which organ is the site of most digestion and all absorption.
Definition
p. 1 mod 5
Term
explain the homeostatic control of blood glucose, including the effects of the hormones insulin, glucagon, epinephrine, and cortisol (and what produces these hormones)
Definition
p. 22-24 mod 5
Term
explain the homeostatic regulation of body temperature
Definition
p. 25 mod 5
Term
list the structures of the respiratory system in order.

Definition
a small space between the visceral and parietal pleura of the lungs

Term
define ECF, ICF, ISF, lymph, & plasma
Definition
ECF-fluid outside body cells, such as interstitial fluid and plasma
ICF- fluid located within cells

Term
define myocardium
Definition
the middle layer of the heart wall, made up of cardiac muscle tissue, lying between the epicardium and the endocardium and constituting the bulk of the heart

Definition
the layer of the heart wall, composed of endothelium and smooth muscle, that lines the inside of the heart and covers the valves and tendons that hold the valves open.

Definition
the thin out layer of the heart wall, composed of serous tissue and mesothelium (also called the visceral pericardium)
Term
define pericardium
