During normal inspiration, volume of additional air has entered the lungs during a force maximum of inspiration called?
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
The PaO2 of systemic arterial pressure of blood is typically>
PaO2=100 PaCO2= 46
What happens if you constrict afferent arteriole if you constrict, what happens to GFR?
Decreased GFR
What happens if you constrict efferent arteriole if you constrict, what happens to GFR?
Increased GFR
What happens if if the glucose is not absorbed in the tubular fluid?
Increased urine output which means polyuria, causes diabetes mellitus. Glucose can end up in urine if it isn’t reabsorbed, it causes more water to be lost
Lymphocytes
key players in the adaptive immune response; recognize & destroy foreign invaders, retaining memory of the encounter; includes B cells (mature bone marrow) & T cells (mature in the thymus; 20-30% stain dark blue nucleus, light blue cytoplasm
Eosinophils
Circulating granulocytes stain pink-orange with eosin; increase # during allergic reactions & parasite infections; major function is to kill intestinal worms; 1-6%
Neutrophils
First appears after injury; phagocytois (digest/engulf bacteria & particles); they are attracted to areas of inflammation & bacterial products by chemotactic factors; increase # during bacterial infections; they release toxins, free radicals, defensins, preteolytic enzymes: elastase, and can damage normal tissue; 60-80% stain red violet
Monocytes
Migrate to organs to become macrophages; powerful phagocytes; live for months to years; capable of cell division, important secretory function: release cytokines (help stimulate, coordinate, direct activities in immune system); important in wound healing, important in antigen presentation; increase # inflammation & viral infections; destroy dead neutrophils & inflammatory debris, 3-8% stain light blue
Basophils (Mast cells)
Contain & release histamine, mediate type I allergic reactions, initiate inflammation; structurally similar to mast cells; immunoglobulins E attaches to & sensitizes mast cells & basophils; 0-2%
Mast cells are basophils found in connective tissue& live for weeks to months
Cytotoxic T cells
Kills foreign cells, cancer cells, & cells infected with a virus; they can be separated from other blood cells, grown in the laboratory, & then given to a patient to kill cancer cells
Helper T cells
Have CD4 proteins; activate other T cells & macrophages; stimulate B cell proliferation & antibody production; secrete proinflammatory cytokines
Macrophages
Large phagocytic cells that engulf pathogens, dead cells, & debris; they are immune cells for foreign substances that defend from infection and help with tissue repair, and they live long
B Cells
Responsible for humoral immunity; two major types of cells: memory & plasma; they contain antigen receptors; memory exposure to an antigen is stored in memory B cell clones, survive for months to year.
Plasma Cells
Short-lived antibody producing factories; all plasma cells in clone secrete antibodies with identical monoclonal antibody; usually dies off when antigen is cleared
What are the functions of the spleen?
Filters blood for pathogens like bacteria or viruses
Triggers immune response
House lymphocytes (B & T cells) that detect and respond to invaders
Initiates antibody production when antigens are detected
Removes old or damaged RBCs and platelets
What are the functions of the lymphatic system?
Transports interstitial fluid away from the interstitial spaces and returns it to the bloodstreams
Absorbs lipids from the digestive system and transports them to the bloodstream; accomplished by lymphatic capillaries called lacteals
Defends the body against diseases
The PVO2 of venous blood is typically..
PvO2=40
PvCO2=46
Type I hypersensitivity (immediate reaction)
Allergy: person produces many IgE antibodies against a specific allergen
Occurs within minutes after contact with an allergen; histamine is released
Symptoms: hives, hay fever, asthma, eczema, gastric disturbances, and anaphylactic shock (life-threatening severe form)
Type II hypersensitivity (antibody-dependent cytotoxic reaction):
Antigen binds to specific cell; causes phagocytosis and complement lyses antigen
Transfusion reaction
Type III hypersensitivity (immune complex reaction):
Antigen → antibody complexes form and deposit in certain tissues
Damages tissue via phagocytosis and complement-binding
Antibody complexes can't be cleared from the body
Example: Rheumatoid arthritis
Type IV hypersensitivity (delayed reaction):
May affect anyone
Results from repeated exposure of skin to allergen
Allergen activates T cells in the skin, which release chemicals that cause eruptions and inflammation
Takes about 48 hours to occur
Protects against parasitic worms. Responsible for allergic reactions
IgE
