1.
Absorbtion: occurs in intestine, moves the monomers from the lumen of the GI tract into the cardiovascular and lymphatic systems
2.
Agglutinate: when antibodies join with antigens on the red blood cell surface causing the cells to clump
3.
Antibodies: proteins produced by the immune system in response to a foreign antigen
4.
Antibody A: mixed with antigen-A causes agglutinate
5.
Ausculation: listening to the sounds of the body
6.
Autorhythmic: contraction without neural stimulation
7.
Bainbridge: keeps hart beating in range where it funcitons most efficiently; walking lower than standing rigidly
8.
Baroreceptor Examples: BP drops- CAC increases heart rate; walls of arteries not stretched as much, signals not as frequent
BP rises - CIC decreases heart rate; walls of arteries stretch; more frequent signals
9.
Baroreceptors: walls of major arteries; sends signals to cardioregulatory center in medulla
10.
Basophils: 0.5-1%
11.
Cardiac Cycle: set of atrial and ventricular contractions and relaxations
12.
Chemical Digestion: breakdown of macromolecules via enzymatic hydrolysis
13.
Coagulation: blood clotting
14.
Coagulation Time: the amount of time it takes blood to clot inside a capillary tube
15.
Defecation: removal of indigestible foodstuffs (feces) from the large intestine out the anus
16.
Diastole: 60-85 mmHg
17.
Eosinophils: 1-4%
18.
Hematocrit for Men: 40-54%
19.
Hematocrit for Women: 37-47%
20.
Ingesiton: placing food in the oral cavity
21.
Isoelectric Line: flat line that indicates no electrical activity
22.
Lymphocytes: 20-30%
23.
Mechanical Digestion: physical breakdown of food into smaller bits; chewing, churning, segmentation mixing with saliva, gastric juices, and intestinal juices
24.
Monocytes: 2-8%
25.
Myogenic: signal originates within the heart itself through the cardiac conduction system
26.
Neutrophils: 55-70%
27.
Normal Coagulation Time: 8-18 minutes
28.
Pulse: repeated expansion and relaxation of the arteries
29.
Rh-Negative: no antigen
30.
Rh-Positive: Rh-Antigen
31.
Systole: 95-130 mmHg
32.
Type A: A-Antigens
33.
Type AB: A-Antigens, B-Antigens
34.
Type B: B-Antigens
35.
Type O: Neither A- nor B- Antigens
