Study Notes
White Blood Cells and Their Functions
-
Natural Killer (NK) cells elevate in response to infected or cancerous cells, playing a crucial role in the immune response.
-
B lymphocytes (B cells) produce antibodies specifically targeting antigens, facilitating the body's defense against pathogens.
-
Monocytes transform into macrophages when activated, contributing to the immune system by phagocytizing pathogens and debris.
-
Eosinophils provide protection against infections caused by parasitic worms and are involved in allergic reactions.
Heart Valves and Their Functions
- The tricuspid valve separates the right atrium from the right ventricle, ensuring one-way blood flow during heart contractions.
- The pulmonary valve separates the right ventricle from the pulmonary artery, regulating blood flow to the lungs for oxygenation.
- The atrioventricular valves (including the tricuspid and mitral valves) separate the atria from the ventricles, maintaining proper directional blood flow within the heart.
