- 1tissue that form up the structure of the capillariesEndothelium
- 2Alveoliwhere gas exchange happens
- 3process (type of cell transport) that allows gas exchange to happenDiffusion
- 4circuit where blood gets a refill of oxygenPulmonary circuit
- 5Tonsilsorgan located between your mouth and pharynx which protects you from pathogens
- 6Pericardiumthick membrane around the heart that secretes lubricating liquid
- 7contraction of the heartSystole
- 8Aerobic respirationtype of respiration that requires oxygen
- 9holds urine until it is expelled, it is expandableBladder
- 10Influenzaviral infection that replicates mainly using alveolar cells of the lungs
- 11Larynxalso called voice of box and it can get inflamed during an infection
- 12part of the nephron where nutrients on the filtrate are reabsorbedProximal and distal tubules
- 13The process of ventilation includes inhalation and exhalation (true/false)true
- 14universal donor blood typeO negative
- 15Systemic circuittakes blood from the left ventricle of the heart through the body, and back to the right atrium
- 16Electrocardiogramdetects abnormalities on the heart
- 17Vital capacitymaximum amount or air that can be contained in the lungs and eventually expelled
- 18part of the nephron where the filtrate (water, salts, nutrients, and wastes) is formedGlomerulus and bowman's capsule
- 19Tidal volumenormal amount of air transferred between inhalation and exhalation
- 20Consequences of atherosclerosis- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Aneurysm - 21chambers of the blood that deoxygenated bloodRight atrium and right ventricle
- 22Nephronfiltering unit of the kidney
- 23disorder caused mainly of the accumulation of uric acid (waste that form crystals)Kidney stones
- 24Veins carry blood away from the heart. (True/False)False
- 25Atherosclerosisrefers to the accumulation of fatty deposits beneath the inner linings of arteries
- 26Pleura produces lubricating fluid that allows lungs to slide freely. (True/False)True
- 27its main function is to transport urine from the kidneys to the bladderUrethers
- 28Main function of the capillariesExchange of substances/gases
- 29Defecationnot a function of urinary system
- 30Functions of urinary system- Excretion of metabolic wastes
- Secretion of hormones
- Maintenance of water-salt, acid-base balance - 31Type of respiration where oxygen is transferred from the blood to the tissues.Internal
- 32uncontrolled cell growth of lung tissueLung cancer
- 33Lung can collapse when residual volume reaches zero. (True/False)True
- 34muscle that prevents incontinenceSphincter
- 35largest artery in the bodyAorta
- 36universal receptor blood typeAB positive
- 37type of dialysis machine is connected to a patient's blood vesselHemodialysis
- 38active phase of ventilation where the diaphragm contractsInhalation
- 39The heart is made up of 4 chambers and 2 valves. (True/False)True
- 40type of vessel where blood is moved on by skeletal muscle contraction, against gravityVein
- 41type of respiration where air passes from the alveoli into the bloodExternal
- 42Main components of blood- Plasma
- Platelets
- Red and white blood cells - 43Hypertensiondisorder characterized by high blood pressure
- 44Pharynxorgan of the respiratory tract also known as throat
- 45Left lung is smaller than the right lung. (True/False)True
- 46Emphysemarespiratory disease in which the alveoli are destroyed
- 47organ in charge of filtering blood from metabolic wastes and produces urineKidneys
- 48Nasal cavity main functions- Moisten air
- Filter air
- Warm up air - 49Hormone released when sweatingantidiuretic hormone
