BIOL 235 final Exam graded A
Erythrocytes contain the enzyme - carbonic anhydrase


carbonic anhydrase catalyzes - the conversion of metabolically produced C)2 and
water into carbonic acid


fixed phagocytic macrophages - remove most old erythrocytes from circulation


Location of fixed phagocytic macrophages - narrow capillaries of the spleen


Undifferentiated cells called pluripotent stem cells reside - in the bone marrow


pluripotent stem cells - continuously divide and develop myeloid stem cells and
lymphoid stem cells to give rise to each of the types of blood cells


emigration or diapedesis - The process of leukocytes squeezing through the
capillary endothelium to exit the vasculature


agglutinins - genetically-determined glycoprotein and glycolipid antigens found on
the surface of an erythrocyte


ESV - volume of blood in the ventricle after ejection has been completed


Increase in ESV when - stroke volume is decreased

,Three cations with important effect on heart function - K+, Ca2+, and Na+


Increased blood levels of NA+ - blocks Ca2+ inflow and decreases force of
contraction


Excess in K+ - blocks generation of action potentials


pharynx - serves as a sound resonating chamber, contains tonsils, directs air flow
inferiorly


larynx - passes air form pharynx into windpipe, site of sound production


paranasal sinuses - resonates sound, not part of the pharynx


fauces - opening from oral cavity into pharynx


tertiary bronchus - carries air to a segment of a lung


terminal bronchiole - carries air directly into a respiratory bronchiole


pleural membranes - surround the lungs


surfactant - reduces surface tension at sites of gas exchange


alveoli - actual sites of gas exchange

,eupnea - normal, quiet breathing


costal breathing - shallow breathing using just the external intercostal muscles


compliance - amount of effort required to expand the lungs and chest wall


inspiratory capacity - tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume, usually about
3600 mL in males


vital capacity - tidal volume + inspiratory reserve volume + expiratory reserve
volume; usually about 4800 mL in males


functional residual capacity - residual volume + expiratory reserve volume; usually
about 2400 mL in males


Henry's law - states that the amount of gas that will dissolve in a liquid is
proportional to the partial pressure of that gas and its solubility


Bohr effect - when pH decreases, O2 saturation of hemoglobin decreases


Dalton's law - each gas in a mixture of gases exerts its own partial pressure


medulla oblongata - sets basic rhythm of breathing


pons - includes the pontine respiratory group

, Blood is - a connective tissue that consists of blood plasma (liquid) plus formed
elements (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets)


Whole blood - blood plasma and formed elements


Blood plasma - proteins, water, other solutes


Blood plasma proteins - albumins (54%), globulins (36%), fibrinogens (7%)


Formed elements - red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets


Blood cell production - hemopoesis, mainly occurs in red bone marrow after birth


Reticulocyte - from proerythrocyte, ejects nucleus


Average lifespan of an erythrocyte - 120 days


Rate of RBC formation by red blood cells - equals the rate of RBC destruction by
macrophages


Emigration or diapedesis is - the process by which phagocytic cells leave blood
vessels


WBCs use to destroy pathogens - lysozyme, defensins, and certain anions


Neutrophils - are usually the first and most numerous responders to an infection
