A patient's blood test reveals a high count of eosinophils. This finding is MOST likely indicative of which condition?
- An allergic reaction or parasitic infection. (correct)
- A viral infection being targeted by lymphocytes.
- A bacterial infection being fought by neutrophils.
- A clotting disorder related to basophil activity.
Which of the following correctly matches a leukocyte with its primary function?
Which of the following correctly matches a leukocyte with its primary function?
- Monocyte: releasing histamine and heparin during allergic reactions.
- Lymphocyte: directly phagocytizing pathogens and cellular debris.
- Neutrophil: producing antibodies to target specific pathogens.
- Basophil: releasing histamine and heparin during allergic reactions. (correct)
A patient's blood sample agglutinates with Anti-B antibodies but not with Anti-A antibodies. What is the patient's blood type?

Study Notes
- KCC PHYL 142L Review
Endocrine Anatomy
- Recognize the pituitary gland
- Recognize the hypothalamus
Endocrine Anatomy
- Recognize the thyroid gland
- Recognize the pancreas
- Recognize the adrenal gland
- Recognize the Gonads
Thyroid follicle cells
- These cells produce thyroid hormone T4/T3
Leukocytes Recognition
- Neutrophils phagocytize pathogens and diseases.
- Eosinophils kill parasites and play a role in allergies, and stain red
- Basophils release histamine and heparin (allergies), and stains blue
- Lymphocytes make antibodies and cytokines, and can kill cells by recognizing MHC surface molecules
- Monocytes function as macrophages
Blood Review
- Consider what is the body's most abundant blood cell
- Understand the hematocrit test and its range.
- Understand what blood type will agglutinate (react) with Anti-B antibodies, but not Anti-A antibodies
Cardio Phys Review
- Explain how to take manual blood pressure and the artery in which listen to it
- Consider normal blood pressure and resting heart rate
- Explain the steps of an EKG and which step is depolarized and repolarized
- The question of which step of the EKG occurs the quickest needs to be considered
EKG Impulses
- P Wave is atrial depolarization
- P - R Interval: Atrial depolarization starts and finishes, delayed at AV node which includes the P-wave
- QRS complex: Ventricular depolarization, atrial repolarization completes
- S - T Segment: Ventricular depolarization completes
- T Wave: Ventricular repolarization
- T - P Segment: Ventricular repolarization completes
Heart Anatomy
- The human heart has 4 chambers (RA, LV, LA, LV)
- The human heart has 4 valves (Tricuspid, Bicuspid/Mitral, Pulmonary, Aortic)
- Key structures of the AV valve: Cusp, Chordae Tendineae, Papillary muscles
Blood Vessels
- List of the major blood vessels of the heart: Left coronary artery, right coronary artery, left anterior descending artery, posterior interventricular artery, circumflex artery, superior vena cava, inferior vena cava, and the coronary sinus.
Vascular Anatomy
- Know the system circuit
- Memorize the major arteries of the arm/torso/leg
