| macrophage | large phagocytic tissue cell phage: to eat |
| megakaryocyte | a large cell that contributes to the formation of platelets. mega: large kary/o: nucleus |
| myocardium | middle layer of the heart wall; cardiac muscle, provides the force to eject blood from the heart to the vessels. my/o: muscle um: tissue |
| non specific defense mechanism | body's ability to counter act many types of harmful agents |
| pericardial cavity | small space around the heart, |
| pericardium | membrane that surrounds the heart; usually refers to the pericardial sac. |
| pulmonary circulation | the pathway that takes blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs and then returns it to the left side of the heart. pulmon- lung |
| renal erythropoietic factor | a substance produced by the kidneys that activates erythropoietin to stimulate the production of red blood cells. ren/o: kidney poie: formation of blood cells |
| resistance | body's ability to counteract the effects of pathogens and other harmful agents. |
| right lymphatic duct | the collecting duct of the lymphatic system that collects lymph from the upper right quadrant of the body |
| semilunar valves | valves between the ventricles of the heart and the vessels that carry blood away from the ventricles; also pertains to the valves in the veins. |
| specific defense mechanism | activities of the body that counteract only certain types of harmful agents. |
| susceptibility | lack of resistance to disease |
| systemic circulation | pathways that transport blood from the left side of the heart to all parts of the body and return the blood to the right atrium; excludes pulmonary circulation. |
| systole | contraction phase of the cardiac cycle; opposite of diastole |
| thoracic duct | the primary collecting duct of the lymphatic system that collects lymph from all regions of the body except the upper right quadrant |
| thrombocytes | a class formed elements of the blood; function in blood clotting; also called platelets. Blood clotting cells. thrombo/o: clot |
| ventricle | pumping chambers of the heart; |
| epicardium | outer layer of the heart, blood vessels that nourish the heart. |
| Albumins | produced in the liver, protein in urine, assists in fluid balance |
| globulins | antibodies that function in immunity |
| eosinophils | segmented nucleus, 2 lobes, large granules, bright reddish orange, surrounds histamine, and increase their amount during an allergic reaction. |
| basophils | very few, large, S-shaped nucleus, coarse granules, black and blue colored. secretes histamine that dilates blood vessels, and heparin anticoagulant. |
| lymphocyte | large, round, purpleish-blue cytoplasm. contains few to none granules. functions in the immune system and assists with the production of antibodies. |
| Thrombocytes | fragments of bigger cells that are not complete cells. plug and closes breaks and tears in the blood vessels. |
| lymphatic system 3 primary functions. | Returns extra fluid to blood. Absorption of fats and vitamins. defense against invading microorganisms and disease |
| formed elements | RBC WBC Thrombocytes |
| lymphatic organs | lymph nodes, tonsils, spleen, thymus |
| aging of the circulatory system | left ventricle shrinks. thickening of the endocardium and valves of the heart. valves become more rigid. |
| coronary | blood vessels that nourish the heart of the wall |
| left atrium | receives oxygenated blood from lungs |
| ventricle | right ventricle pumps blood into the lungs left ventricle pumps blood into the systemic circulation |
| systemic circulation | pathway of the blood that transports blood from the left side of the heart through out the body. |
| monocyte | largest, U-shaped nucleus, abundant cytoplasm, stained grayish-blue, becomes macrophage, last responder to clean up remaining bacteria. |
| heart | located between the two lungs posterior to the sternum anterior to the vertebral column rests on the diaphragm |
| circulatory system | heart, blood , blood vessels, lymph, lymphatic vessel, lymphatic organs |
| inter-ventricular septum | the thick, muscular partition between the right and left ventricle. |
| neutrophils | purple multi-lobed nucleus, first responders to tissue damage, engulfs bacteria, increases during acute infection |
| leukocytes | there are five types of WBC: NEUTROPHILS, EOSINOHILS, BASOPHILS, MONOCYTE, LYMPHOCYTES. WBC are white and colorless before they get stained. |
| fibrinogen | clotting process |
| plasma proteins | albumin, globulin, fibrogen |
| AV bundle | "bundle of his" electrical fiber that triggers the myocardium to contract and relax. purkinje fibers. |
| Artery | carrys blood away from hearts and has 3 layers. tunica intima - inner tunica media - middle tunica externa - outer layer |
| lymphatic vessels | carry fluid away from tissue, the flow of the lymph is slow and sluggish. |
| functions of blood | transportation, regulation, protection. |
| left ventricle | pumps blood to the whole body |
| left atrium | receives oxygenated blood from the inferior vena cava. |
| lymph node | inguinal nodes- groin axillary nodes- armpit cervical node- in the neck |

| IgG | 75%-85% , located in the plasma. function: inactivates antigen, neutralizes toxins, responsible for rh reaction. |
| IgA | 5%-15%, found in saliva, mucus, tears, breast milk. function: protects mucous membrane from body surfaces; provides immunity for newborn. |
| IgM | 5%-10%, attached to b cells, released into the plasma during immune response. function: causes antigens to clump together, responsible for transfusion reactions in ABO blood typing system |
| IgD | .2% attached to b cells. binding with antigen results in b cell activation |
