  22. Diagram the heart sturcture and how blood moves through.
    • Blood from the inferior and superior Vena Cava enters the R.Atrium, this then flows into the R.Ventricle, then the Pulmonary Trunk which goes through the Pulmonary Arteries and into the Lungs to get oxygenated. The blood then travels to the L.Atruim through the Pulmonary Veins. From the L.Atrium the blood then travles through the Arteries and then into the Capillaries where the O2 from the blood diffuses into the Tissues. The deoxygenated blood then travles through the Veins to the Superior and Inferior where the process starts again.Image Upload 2

    • 4.Depoarizes the ventricles, the ventricles contract.
    • 5.Mitral and Tricuspid valves shut "lub"
    • 6.The semi-lunar valves open and loads the aorta and pulmonary turnk.
    • 7.The back pressure in the aorta and pulmonary trunk slams the semi-lunar valve shut "dup"
  24. What is an EKG, what can it tell us?
    • Electro Cardio Gram
    • Can check the hearts electrical activity, Find the cause of unexplained chest pain, find the cause of symptoms of heart disease, find out if the walls of the chambers of the heart are to thick, check how medicines are working, check on mechinacal devices in the heart, check the health of the heart.
  25. What is the pulse?
    The rhymical throbbing of arteris produced by the regular contractions of the heart.
  26. What is blood pressure, and how is it regulated?
    • Pressure of the blood in the blood vessel, expressed as systolic pressure over diastolic pressure. 120
    • 80 mmHg
    • Blood volume, strenght of heart contractions,heart rate, blood viscosity,resistance to blood flow.
  27. How is the Circulatory system regulated?
    Circulating blood helps maintain homeostasis of all body fluids.Blood helps regulate the pH through use of buffers. It also helps adjust body temp. through the heat absorbing and coolant properties of water. In blood plasma and its variable rate of flow through the skin. Blood osmotic pressure influences the water content of cells.

  38. Where can lymphatic tissue be found?
    Many organs, lymph nodes, lymphoid follicles.
  39. Describe the typical human immune response.
    Protects the body from potentially harmful substances by recognizing and responding to antigens. The immune system recognizes and destroys substances that contain these antigens.
  40. Describe allergic response.
    When a persons immune system reacts to normally harmless substances in the environment.
  41. Why does the body temp. typically raise during immune response?
    • To induce sleep and rest.
    • To increase chemical reactors.
    • Because many pathogens are denatured at a high temp.
  42. Compare and ontrast bacterial and viral infection.
    • Bacteria are single celled microorganisms that thrive in many different types of environments.
    • Viruses are even smaller than bacteria and require living hosts. It invades some of your cells and takes over the cell machinery redirecting it to produce the virus.
  43. What is acquired immunity?
    Immunity obtained either fom the development of antibodies in response to exposure to and antigen, as from vaccination or an attack of an infectious disease, or fom the transmission of antibodies.
  44. Disscus HIV.
    • Human immunodeficency Virus.
    • A retrovirus that causes AIDS.
  45. What is a vaccine and how does it work?
    A substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide against one or several disease. It activates the bodies natural defenses. The body fights off a weekend form of a disease and creates a resistance to it.
  46. What are antibiotics and how do they work?
    • A medicene that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms.
    • It kills desired bacteria but not cells.
