Nerve tissue throughout the body is made of nerve impulse transmitting cells called

True or False? The type of tissue which binds and supports body parts is muscle tissue

Tissues are combined in the human body to form:

Which of these is NOT an example of connective tissue?

True or False? One of the skin's functions involves the regulation of body temperature.

True or False? The dermis of the skin is composed of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue.

True or False? The epidermis is made up of layers of flat cells containing the waterproof protein, keratin.

Functions in the movement of the limbs, head and trunk.

Found in stomach and arteries; moves substances through the lumen of these organs

Found in heart muscle.

When the ventricles contract, blood is prevented from backing up into the atria by the:

The "pacemaker" of the electrical conduction system of the heart is the:

Deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen) is found in the:

The first heart sound (lub) is caused by vibrations occuring when the __________ valves close during ventricular ____________ .

The accumulation of soft masses of fatty material beneath the inner lining of arteries is a condition known as ____________ and may lead to a potentially fatal ___________ .

Oxygenated blood (high in oxygen) leaves the heart through the

Blood vessels that are one cell thick to allow exchange of material between the blood and tissue.

Blood vessels which contain valves

Blood pressure is highest in these vessels.

Constriction and dilation of these blood vessels help regulate blood pressure

Highly muscular lower chambers of the heart.

Muscular wall seperating the right and left sides of the heart.

Dissolves thromboembolisms.

Reduces the ability of platelets to stick together and thus lowers the probability of a heart attack.

Blood vessel removed from a limb is used to form a new blood flow from the aorta to a blocked coronary artery.

Many copies of the gene for this factor is injected directly into the heart to encourage the growth of new blood vessels.

Closed artery is forced open by a ballon attached to a plastic tube threaded into the artery.

Method of treating Congestive Heart Failure.

Records electrical changes that occur in the myocardium during the heart cycle.

A person with Type O blood:

Liquid portion of the blood, 98% of which is water.

Oxygen carrying pigment of erythrocytes.

Liquid portion of the blood without the blood clotting protein fibrinogen.

Excess tissue fluid absorbed in the capillary beds.

Group of granular and agranular cells which fight infection.

Type of white blood cells which are responsible for specific immunity.

Cell fragments which aid in clotting, also known as platlets.

Mature into macrophages which phagocytize pathogens.
