Study Notes
Medical Terminology and Concepts
- Etiology: The cause of a disease.
- Sign: An objective observation that can be measured, like fever.
- Midsagittal Plane: Divides the body into left and right halves.
- Atomic Nucleus: Composed of protons and neutrons.
- Water's High Heat Capacity: Causes faster heat loss from the body in water than in air.
- Cell Membrane: Selectively permeable, controlling what enters and exits the cell.
- Cellular Respiration Fuel: Glucose is broken down to produce energy.
- Serous Membrane: Lines body cavities and covers organs within.
- Cardiac Muscle: Interlocking cells allow efficient, coordinated contractions.
- Epiphysis: End of a long bone.
- Voluntary Muscle: Also known as skeletal muscle.
- Vasoconstriction: Peripheral blood vessels narrow to conserve heat in cold environments.
- Sensory Nervous System: The input side of the nervous system.
- Spinal Nerves: Carry mixed sensory and motor information.
- High Touch Receptor Density: Fingers have the highest concentration.
- Glucagon's Opposite: Insulin.
- Tricuspid Valve: Valve between the right atrium and ventricle.
- Atrioventricular Valve Closure: Occurs during ventricular systole.
- Cardiac Output Increase and Blood Pressure: Blood pressure increases with increased cardiac output.
- ECG QRS Wave: Represents ventricular depolarization.
- External Respiration: Gas exchange between the alveoli and capillaries.
- AV Bundle (Bundle of His): Pathway for the electrical impulse after leaving the AV node.
- Upper Airway Function: NOT gas exchange.
- Epiglottis Function: Protects the trachea from food and liquid.
- ATP Production and Oxygen: Cells require oxygen for ATP production.
- Innate Immune Cell Example: Neutrophil.
- Food/Liquid Trachea Protection: The epiglottis prevents aspiration.
- Liver Blood Supply: 1.5 quarts per minute from hepatic artery and portal vein.
- Collecting Ducts Location: Renal pelvis.
- Renal Hormone and Reduced Blood Pressure: Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) promotes water reabsorption.
- Ovulation Stimulating Hormone: Luteinizing Hormone (LH).
- Pregnancy Hormone Elevation: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG).
- Innate Immunity and Antigens: Innate immunity is NOT antigen-specific.
- Fever and Inflammation Classification: Part of innate immunity.
- Ventricular Contraction Phase in ECG: QRS complex.
