1. These carry blood to and from all regions of the body: blood vessels
2. Circulatory is considered what type of system? open or closed?: Closed
3. What blood vessel carries oxygenated blood away from the heart?: Arteries
4. What blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart?: Veins
5. These are the smallest blood vessels that connect arteriols to venules and
have only one layer of endothelium: capillaries
6. This system is closely related to cardiovasclar system, major source of im-
mune cells and fluids. Has Lymph nodes at body sites like groin, neck, armpit,
intestines, and spleen: Lymphatic System
7. What is bacteria growing and flourishing in the blood?: Septicemia (sepsis)
8. Cascading immune responses to septicemia resulting in decreased blood
pressure: Septic shock
9. Which of the following terms refers to bacteria flourishing and growing in the
bloodstream?
A.Fungemia
B.Bacteremia
C.Septicemia
D.Viremia
E.All of the choices are correct.: Septicemia
10. The cardiovascular and lymphatic systems, being "closed" systems, are al-
ways completely sterile.
A.True
Ï
B.False: B
11. •one of the greatest afflictions throughout human history:
-Dominant protozoan disease
•Threatens 40% of the world's population every year:: Malaria
12. •Signs and Symptoms:
-10-day incubation period, first symptoms are:
•Malaise, fatigue, vague aches, and nausea with or without diarrhea, chills,

fever, and sweating
•Symptoms occur at 48- or 72-hour intervals, as the result of synchronous
red-blood-cell rupture: Malaria
13. persistent fever, cough, and weakness for weeks without relief (specific type
of Malaria): Falciparum Malaria
14. What is the casuative agent for Malaria?: Plasmodium
15. What are two phases malarial parasite is divided into?: Asexual phase and Sexual phase
16. •Pathogenesis and Virulence Factors:
-Invasion of merozoites into RBCs leads to the release of fever-inducing chem-
icals into the bloodstream. Chills and fevers often occur in a cyclic pattern.
-Plasmodium also metabolizes glucose at a very high rate, leading to hypo-
glycemia in the human host.
-Damage to RBCs results in anemia.
-Accumulation of malarial products in the liver and the immune stimulation in
the spleen can lead to enlargement of these organs.: Malaria
17. How is Malaria transmitted?: Anopheles mosquito
18. How is malaria prevented?: -long-term mosquito abatement and human chemoprophylaxis.
19. How is malaria treated?: Quinine
20. -A spectrum of clinical signs and symptoms is associated with
__________________________
•The levels of virus in the blood
•The levels of T cells in the blood
-Initial symptoms:
•Fatigue, diarrhea, weight loss, and neurological changes
•Opportunistic infections or neoplasms (cancer): HIV
21. Causative agent for HIV: Retrovirus in the genus Lentivirus
22. What does the causative agent for HIV contain?: Reverse Transcriptase
23. •Pathogenesis and Virulence Factors:
-Viral life cycle:
•__________ enters a mucous membrane or the skin and travels to dendritic
cells beneath the epithelium. Virus grows inside the dendritic cell and is shed
