Question | Answer |
---|---|
Tidal Volume (TV) | volume that is inhaled OR exhaled during normal quiet breathing |
Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) | the volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled |
Vital Capacity (VC) | volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after taking the deepest most forceful inhalation possible |
Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) | volume of air that can be forcefully inhaled following a TV inhalation IRV=VC-(TV+ERV) |
Residual Volume (RV) | volume remaining in lungs are the most forceful exhalation |
Inspiratory Capacity (IC) | max volume of air one can forcefully inhale following TV exhalation IC=TV+IRV |

How are antibodies allowed to bind to millions of different antigens? | a small region at the tip of the protein is extremely variable |
What part of the body does the thoracic duct collect lymph from? | the body inferior to the diaphragm and from the left side of the body superior to the diaphragm |
Function of white pulp | lymphocyte production, immunity |
Function of red pulp | disposal of red cell material and bloodborne pathogens |
Which vessel is used to measure blood pressure, and which is used to measure pulse rate? | brachial artery and radial artery |
What mechanism of venous circulation in the lower part of the body causes rhythmic contraction propelling blood toward the heart? | muscular pump |
What is the ring of arteries that encircle the pituitary gland at the base of the brain? | Circle of Willis or cerebral arterial circle |
In which type of capillary do you find pores that penetrate the endothelial lining and allow rapid exchange of water and solutes between plasma and interstitial fluid? | fenestrated |
What is an anastomosis? | the joining of blood vessels |
Total peripheral resistance reflects a combination of five factors. Name them | vascular resistance, vessel length, vessel diameter, blood viscosity, and turbulence |
Upon standing up quickly, Brandon begins to fell light headed and faints. Explain what happened. | Blood pooled in the lower limbs, which decreased venous return to the heart. In turn, cardiac output decreased, so less blood reached his brain, causing light-headedness and fainting. |
Diffusion across the capillary walls at alveoli removes _____ and provides ______ to the blood. | CO2; O |
Which vessel is commonly used to obtain blood samples and administer meds directly into the bloodstream? | median cubital |
When Cameron woke up from his coronary bypass surgery, his legs hurt and he noticed he had staples down both of his legs. Why did his legs have staples? | the great saphenous vein is frequently excised and used as a coronary bypass vessel |
What is the purpose of hepatic portal veins? | to bring blood from intestines, stomach, and pancreas into liver prior to entering the rest of the body so the liver can receive digested substances first |
What vessels does the bachiocephalic trunk break off to? | right common carotid artery and right subclavian artery |
Jennifer threatens to hold her breath until she dies if she doesn’t get an A on this exam. Is this possible? Why or why not? | Respiration can be voluntary inhibited for a period of time, but eventually voluntary control is overridden by the buildup of CO2 levels and the decrease of O2 levels. |
What is delivered to the alveoli? | CO2 |
Name a disorder that would be responsible for this destruction of alveolar surfaces as shown (microscope) | Emphysema, lung cancer, etc. |
How do antibodies work? | antibodies bind specifically with antigens forming antigen-antibody complexes that inactive the antigen by neutralization, agglutination; or precipitation, which enhances phagocytosis by macrophages. |
In pneumonia, fluid accumulates in the alveoli of the lungs. How would this accumulation affect vital capacity? | Because fluid produced in pneumonia takes up space that would normally be occupied by air, vital capacity would decrease. |
What do veins have that arteries don’t? | valves |
What are the structural differences between arteries and veins? | arteries are thicker due to tunica media; arteries are wavy so they can expand and recoil |
What is the tunica media of an artery composed of? | smooth muscle |
How does the fetus receive oxygen from its mother? | placenta |
Vasodilation | widening of blood vessels |
Vasoconstriction | narrowing of blood vessels |
Where do the two common carotid arteries originate? | aorta |
Blood flow (F) | the amount of blood flowing through a tissue at any given time |
Perfusion | rate of blood flow per given tissue mass |
Blood pressure (P) | the force that blood exerts on a vessel wall |
Systolic | pressure exerted on arterial walls during ventricular contraction |
Diastolic | pressure exerted in arterial walls during ventricular relaxation |
Pulse pressure | difference between systolic and diastolic pressures |
Mean arterial pressure | pressure that propels blood into tissues |
Blood hydrostatic pressure | pressure that drives fluids out of capillaries; physical force exerted against a surface by a liquid |
Colloid osmotic pressure (COP) | pressure resulting from solutes in the blood; draws fluid into capillary |
Peripheral resistance (PR) | resistance to blood flow |
Factors that affect peripheral resistance | blood viscosity, vessel length, and vessel radius |
What is lymph responsible for? | collecting and removing waste products left behind in tissues |
What kind of circuit does lymph flow in? | an open circuit |
Is lymph pumped? | No, it passively flows from the tissues into the lymph capillaries. It is aided by other body movements such as deep breathing and the action of nearby muscles and blood vessels. |
What color is lymph that has been filtered and is ready to return to the cardio system? | clear or milky white |
What do lymph nodes do? | filter lymph; kill pathogens and some cancer cells |
Where are Peyer’s Patches located? | ileum (end of small intestine) |

How do we measure lung volume? | spirometry |
Which side of the lung has two lobes? | left |
Which side of the lung has 3 lobes? | right |
What directions are CO2 and O moving between membranes? | CO2 is moving into alveoli; O is moving into blood vessels |
