A gland that forms part of the immune system 
Its function is to transform lymphocytes into T-cells
Consists of two lobes that join in front of the trachea

The body's largest lymphatic organ 
Acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system 
Helps fight certain kinds of bacteria that cause pneumonia & meningitis

The types of body defenses:

Defends against many different types of pathogens.
Is present at birth
Prevent or limit microorganisms & other envir. hazards from approaching, entering, or spreading

Innate (nonspecific) defenses include what types of defenses

A set of three tough membranes that enclose the entire brain and spinal cord (CNS)

The three Meninges membranes

Fluid produced on the ventricles of the brain that flows in the subarachnoid space and bathes the meninges

Cranial nerves 1-6

70 - 80% of circulated blood lymphocytes
Exits in lymp nodes
Attach to foreign, antigen-bearing cells
Direct cell-to-cell contact
(Cellular immune response)

20-30% of circulating lymphocytes
Abundant in lymph nodes, bone marrow, intesinal lining, spleen
Divide & differentiate into plasma cells
Produces antibodies
Reacts to destroy antigens
(Hormoral immunity response)

Control center for the body
Responsible for controlling breathing, pulse, & blood pressure
Performnace of memory, understanding, & thought

Two main portions of the nervous system:

The Central nervous system is:

Consists of 31 pairs of spinal nerves
12 pairs of cranial nerves
sensory, motor, or connecting nerves

Part of the peripheral nervous system that regulates voluntary control:
Walking
Talking
Writing

Controls the body functions that occur without voluntary control:
Digestion
Dilation
Contriction of blood vessels
Sweating
All involuntary actions

The three areas comprise of the brain stem:

The cells of the brain stem controls:

Cranial nerves 7-12

Longest of the cranial nerves
Responsible for decreasing heart rate
Provides motor functions to:
Soft palate
Pharynx
Larynx

Molecules that bind to a cell's receptor and trigger a response by that cell
They produce a action or biologic effect

Molecules that bind to a cell's receptor and block the action of agonists

Hormone antagonist are widely used as:

Made up of various glands located throughout the body
The system that releases hormones such as insulin into the blood stream

Resposible for Cellular immune response:

Responsible for Hormonal immunity response:

The parts of the Autonomic nervous system:

The system responsible for the "fight or flight" response:

The system responsible for the "feed and breed" functions:
Slows down the cardiovascular and respiratory functions

The system that:
Protects the body in the environment
Regulates body temp
Transmits info from envir. to the brain

Secretes enzymes that aid in the digestion of fat, startch, and protien
Produces insulin; to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood

Largest solid organ in the abdomen
Produces bile to assist in digestion of fat
Stores sugar & starch for immediate use for energy
Renders digestion poisions harmless

Major hollow organ of the abdomen
Produces enzymes & mucus for digestion
Absorbs 90% of products of digestion

Absorbs 5- 10% of digested foods & water
Forms solid stool to pass out
Breaks down some digested molecules

The canal that extends from the mouth to the anus:

The walls of the alimentary canal consist of what four layers:

Abdomen:
Right upper quadrant (RUQ)

Abdomen
Left upper quadrant (LUQ)

Abdomen
Right lower quadrant (RLQ)

Abdomen
Left lower quadrant )LLQ)

Functions of the digestive system:

The digestive system converts food into:

A process that releases energy from organic compounds
Glucose & oxygen are needed to produce energy

What notes a rise or fall in core body temperature and elicits responses to regulate it

Referred to as the "master gland" it secretions control the secretions of other endocrine glands

A gland that manufactures and secretes hormones that have a role in growth, development, and metabolism

Promotes sex hormone secretions; aids in release of female egg cells

Contracts uterine wall muscles; contracts milk-secreting gland muscles

The female reproductive organ that produces oocytes (eggs) and sex hormones

Transports secondary oocytes in the direction of the uterus; fertilization occurs here, with the developing embryo conveyed to the uterus

The male reproductive system consists of the:

Components of the Urinary system
