Study Notes
Infections and Immunity
- An infection is often accompanied by leukocytosis
- Leukocytosis is a condition where the white blood cell count increases
- Spleen removes worn out blood cells from circulation
- Lymphatic vessels and nodes are responsible for removing excess fluids and proteins from the body
Lymphatic System
- Lymph nodes are populated with lymphocytes and macrophages
- Lymphatic capillaries absorb tissue fluid and transport it toward the heart
- Lacteals are located within the intestinal villus and are responsible for fat absorption
- Thymus gland is responsible for the processing and maturation of T lymphocytes
Immunity
- Band T cells are lymphocytes
- Tonsillectomy is the removal of palatine tonsils
- Anaphylaxis is a severe hypersensitivity reaction
- Naturally acquired active immunity is when you have measles as a child
- Antigen is also called an allergen
- Band T cells represent specific immunity
- Redness, heat, swelling, and pain are indicative of infection/inflammation
Cells and Immunity
- Macrophages engulf the pathogen to achieve antigen presentation
- Killer T cells destroy pathogens by punching holes in their cell membranes
- Memory T cells remember if an antigen is presented later in the future
- Infections are most common in people with AIDS
- Immunization is the term used for dead pathogens to stimulate antibody production
Miscellaneous
- Antipyretic is a drug that lowers a fever
- Interferons are a group of proteins secreted by virally infected cells
- Nonspecific immunity is the first line of defense against infection, whereas specific immunity is targeted against specific pathogens
Endocrine System
- T3, T4, and calcitonin are secreted by the thyroid gland
- Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are secreted by the gonad
- Calcium and parathyroid hormone control plasma levels of calcium
- Hyperglycaemia is caused by a deficiency of insulin
- Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland
- Insulin and glucagon are secreted by the pancreas and regulate blood glucose
- Acute adrenal insufficiency is caused by the sudden withdrawal of cortisol
- Aldosterone is a mineralocorticoid that helps regulate salt and water balance
Digestive System
- Mechanical digestion refers to the chewing of food
- Liver is the organ that detoxifies drugs, stores vitamins, and synthesizes clotting factors
- Enamel, dentin, and cementum are related to teeth
- Emulsification is most associated with bile
- Gingiva refers to the gums
- Liver produces bile
- Obstruction of the common bile duct causes jaundice
- Paralytic ileus is the slowing or stoppage of GI motility
- Absorption is most related to microvilli
- Cellulose is a dietary fiber that cannot be digested by humans
- The fundus, body, and pylorus are part of the stomach
- The duodenum and jejunum are the site of absorption for most end products of digestion
- The lower oesophageal sphincter prevents gastric reflux
Sensory Organs
- Nociceptors detect pain
- Olfaction refers to the sense of smell
- The gustatory sensation is most related to taste buds
- The iris is the colored part of the eye
- The lacrimal gland secretes tears
- An increase in IOP causes damage to the retina and blindness
- A cloudy lens is called a cataract
- The semicircular canals and cochlea are located in the inner ear
- The malleus, incus, and stapes are called ossicles
- The Eustachian tube connects the pharynx and middle ear
- The tympanic membrane separates the outer ear from the middle ear
- Semicircular canals are concerned with balance
- Rods and cones are visual receptors
