renal system & respiratory system

What is a cause that leads to an increase in metabolic rate in adults?​

stress

Explain the pathophysiology of Asthma.​

asthma inflames and narrows the bronchioles and airway. Meanwhile, mucus production is also increased

What control the body's immune response?​

white blood cells (lymphocytes)

What is the principal function of blood flow to the cardiac system?​

transport oxygen while removing carbon dioxide and waste

What does the parasympathetic nervous system do?​

Rest and digest:

\-decreases HR

\-decreases BP

\-stimulates digestion

\-contracts bladder

\-relaxes rectum

Where does gas exchange occur?​

alveoli

1. right atrium
2. tricuspid valve
3. right ventricle
4. pulmonary valve
5. pulmonary artery
6. pulmonary vein
7. left atrium
8. mitral/bicuspid valve

\
What are the three components in the body that store water?​

\

intracellular fluid, extracellular fluid, interstitial fluid

What is hemoglobin? If low what is that indicative of?​

protein in RBC’s that carry oxygen to the body.

Lack of this means anemia

What does the autonomic nervous system do?​

involuntary control of internal organs

What is the cranial nerve responsible for hearing?​

vestibulocochlear​

What is the cranial nerve responsible for tongue movement?​

hypoglossal

What system is in charge of removing waste from the body?​

renal

What is the result of electrolyte imbalances?​

irregular heart and rhythm, confusion, and weakness

Chronic hypertension would cause what changes in the blood vessels?

damage to the arterioles resulting in the increased blood flow through blood vessels

parietal lobe function

sensory processing

occipital lobe function

vision

temporal lobe function

hearing and smell

frontal lobe function

attention, thinking, memory, reasoning and learning. It also inhibits the autonomic and emotional reponses

white blood cells function

fight infection and disease

red blood cell function

transport oxygen and carbon dioxide

macrophages function

phagocytic; synthesize/secrete cytokines, growth factors, and complement globulin

platelets function

blood clotting

respiratory system order

nose

mouth

pharynx

larynx

trachea

bronchi

bronchioles

lungs

What is the heart rate and respiratory rate for a patient with a stimulated parasympathetic system?

lowered; 56 bpm and 20 breaths per min

Human BP increases signals are sent to the brain slowing down the heart and helping the BP to return to a normal is an example of what?

negative feedback loop

How do electrolytes or fluids exchange between interstitial fluid and external interstitial fluid?

osmosis

How does your brain cells differ from other cells in the body?

brain cells do not store glucose and glycogen

\
what controls the firing of the SA node to trigger the spark of the cardiac cycle?

autonomic nervous system

the bodys ability to correct an excess or deficit of a metabolic acid depends on normal function of what system?

renal system

\
air changes what sensations?

hearing/vision or increase in sensation/ perception of temperature

What changes in sensory function occur during to again?

a proprioception

What controls the rate and depth of respiration in a normal adult?

chemoreceptor in response to the acid-base and oxygen status

Science - What would be a cause of decease in the quantity of circulating red blood cells?

Decrease in oral intake.

Science - Chronic hypertension causes which of the following changes in the blood vessels?

Damage to arterioles resulting in increased flow through blood vessels.

Science - Which statement is true, about how air enters the lungs?

When the lungs expand, the pressure inside the lungs becomes negative compared to the atmospheric pressure causing air enter in the lungs.

Science - What the body does the majority of digestion and absorption from food takes places?

small intestine
