A&P 2 FINAL REVIEW
Across
- 4. digestion, Breaking down food into digestible particles
- 9. immunity, Activated due to exposure to pathogens, uses of immunological memory to learn about the threat and enhance the immune response accordingly
- 11. law, Total pressure exerted equals the sum of pressures exerted by each gas
- 15. Law, Amount of oxygen that dissolves in the bloodstream is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen
- 16. Specialized white blood cells to curb infection and boost inflammation
- 17. Secreted by the gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland to promote the production of gonadal hormones
- 18. Secreted by the gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland to stimulate maturation of the egg cell (ovum)
- 21. A phase in the heart when the muscles contract pumping blood into the blood
- 22. White blood cell that contains granules that are readily stained by eosin
- 24. Stress hormone
- 25. Clear, straw-like colored liquid portion of blood that remains after red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed
Down
- 1. A muscular sac attached to the liver that secretes bile and stores it until needed for digestion. The liver is what creates the bile while the gallbladder acts as it's storage unit
- 2. feedback loop, Reaction that causes a decrease in its function
- 3. digestion, Breaking down food into simple nutrients
- 5. mediated immunity, Immune response that doesn't involve antibodies but the activation of macrophages and NK cells
- 6. immunity, First part of the body to detect invaders such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and toxins,
- 7. These are the major excretory organs that remove toxins, metabolic wastes and excess ions from the blood. Regulates the blood's pH, volume and chemical composition. Is known as the blood pressure organ
- 8. blood cells, Often times referred to as erythrocytes, biconcave discs without a nucleus and contains the pigment hemoglobin which contributes to the red color of blood
- 10. digestive organs, are the organs that aid the digestion process, but food does not pass through these organs and include: teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder and pancreas.
- 12. Synthesized in Hypothalamus, released by Posterior Pituitary gland due to hypothalamic neurons. Functions: Released when solute concentration in blood is high, preventing the formation of urine in the body. High concentrations of ADH causes constrictions of arterioles.
- 13. Law, Pressure and volume are inversely related
- 14. A phase in the heartbeat where the muscle relaxes
- 19. Stimulates red blood cell production in the bone marrow
- 20. elements, Cells and cell fragments suspended in plasma
- 23. Structural and functional units that form urine
