    Study Notes

    Blood and Immune System

    • Lymph is a part of the immune system
    • Blood platelet accumulation and aggregation causes blood clotting in response to an injury of the blood vessels
    • Main cations of the extracellular environment are sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium
    • Erythrocytes will shrink if hypertonic (high salt concentration) fluid is administered
    • Active transport is not a passive transport
    • Symporter is a carrier protein that transports two or more different molecules in the same direction
    • Secondary lymphatic organs are spleen, lymph nodes, and lymphoid tissues

    Cell Membrane and Transport

    • Membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the inside and outside of a cell
    • Hypertonic fluid will cause cells to shrink
    • Active transport is the movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration using energy
    • Sodium-potassium pump is an example of primary active transport of substances
    • Factors that impact membrane permeability are temperature, pH, and surface area
    • Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid-soluble molecules can cross biological membranes without difficulties

    Nervous System

    • Nocireceptors respond to painful stimuli
    • Acute experiment is a short-term experiment
    • Integral membrane proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane
    • Glycoproteins and glycolipids are important in recognition processes so the immune system doesn't attack these cells
    • Components of the reflex arch are receptor, sensory neuron, integration center, motor neuron, and effector
    • Types of homeostatic regulation are neural, hormonal, and local regulation
    • Supramaximal stimulus is a stimulus that is stronger than the maximum stimulus required to produce a response

    Muscle and Movement

    • Sarcomere is the functional unit of skeletal muscles
    • Smooth muscles are found in the walls of hollow organs and blood vessels
    • Multi-unit smooth muscle is found in the iris, ciliary muscles, and muscles of the hair follicles
    • Isometric muscle contraction is a muscle contraction that does not result in movement
    • Dendrites are branching extensions of the neuron that receive signals

    Brain and Synapses

    • Electrical synapses transmit electrical signals directly between neurons
    • Spatial summation is a process where multiple excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) add up to reach the threshold potential
    • The major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain and spinal cord is GABA
    • Antagonists reduce the activity of receptors by inhibiting their constitutive activity
    • The structure of the brain that modulates the distribution of action potentials is the thalamus
    • Brain stem consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata

    Hormones and Endocrine System

    • Humoral transport in hypothalamus is the transport of hormones through the bloodstream
    • Hypothalamus regulates body temperature, hunger, and thirst
    • Adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) secretes hormones that regulate growth and development
    • Iodine-containing hormones are needed for growth and development
    • Hyperfunction of the thyroid gland is not caused by an increase in thyroxine (T4)
    • Glucocorticoids are not involved in the regulation of blood sugar levels
    • Two hormones produced in the placenta are human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and estrogen
    • Glucagon is produced in alpha cells of the pancreas
    • Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) increases water reabsorption in the kidneys

    Blood and Cardiovascular System

    • Blood pH, oncotic pressure, hematocrit, and blood glucose level are parameters of homeostasis of the internal environment
    • Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and lipid-soluble molecules can cross biological membranes without difficulties
    • Colloid osmotic pressure is created by proteins in blood plasma
    • Main blood plasma proteins are albumin, globulins, and fibrinogen
    • pH level of 6.8 or 7.8 is likely to cause death
    • Substance produced in kidneys that promotes erythropoiesis is erythropoietin
    • Intensive hemolysis is dangerous because it can lead to anemia and kidney failure
    • Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting
    • Blood does not clot in blood vessels due to the presence of anticoagulants

    Respiratory System

    • Stroke volume is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per beat
    • Capacitance or volume blood vessels are veins
    • Respiratory sinus arrhythmia is the increase in heart rate during inspiration
    • The rate of cardiac contraction is called the heart rate
    • The anatomic dead space is the volume of air that does not participate in gas exchange
    • Viscous resistance is the resistance to airflow caused by the friction of air molecules
    • Bronchoconstriction is caused by the contraction of smooth muscle in the airways
    • Residual volume is the volume of air left in the lungs after expiration
    • Anemic hypoxia is a condition where the body is unable to transport oxygen due to a lack of red blood cells
    • Dyspnea is shortness of breath
