TEAS EXAM
What happens if the pancreas doesn't do its job? Type 1 diabetes occurs
Type 1 diabetes Overactive immune system the body attacks the cells in the pancreas that make
insulin
What does the pineal gland release? Melatonin
What do the adrenal glands release? Epinephrine (fight or flight response) medulla
What does the thyroid release Thyroxine which stimulates metabolism
What does the pituitary gland release? Growth hormone and the follicle stimulating hormone
What controls the pituitary gland? hypothalamus
What is ADH? Increases water retention in the kidneys and blood vessels
inhibits and prevents urine formation. helps body avoid dehydration and
overload
What does the anterior pituitary secrete? Growth hormone, Luteninzing hormone, TSH, and FSH
What is the job of the parathyroid? Controls calcium concentration in the blood
What is calcitonin produced by? The thyroid gland and plays a major role in the metabolism of calcium
What is the job of afferent neurons? Sends signals to the central nervous system
Sensory (afferent)
What is the job of the efferent neurons? Sends messages to the muscles
Motor (efferent)
What are muscles made up of? Sarcomere units, actin and myosin
What is actin? Thin filaments that act when muscles contract
, TEAS EXAM
What is myosin? Thick filaments that bind/pull together
What powers muscle contraction? ATP
What is the innate immune response? It is NONSPECIFIC the body naturally does it
Skin mucous, chemical barriers and NK cells
What is the adaptive immune response? It is SPECIFIC, adapts to be specific for specific antigens
What causes type 2 diabetes? insulin resistance, happens as a result of chronic high blood sugar levels
What is the difference between cellular and humoral Humoral immunity produces antigen specific antibodies and cellular doesnt
immunity?
What are T and B cells apart of? The adaptive immune response
What does the epidermis layer contain? melanocytes , which gives our skin color
What does the dermis layer contain? Collagen, the gland, blood vessels and nerve endings
What does the sebaceous gland do? secrete oil
What do the sudoriferous glands secrete? sweat
What is the job of the mitochondria? It produces energy
What is the job of the cell wall It is the structural support of the cell
What is the job of chloroplast It helps with photosynthesis, produces atp and sugars
What does the cytoskeleton help with? Movements of the cell
What does the golgi body do? Help process proteins
What is the job of lysosomes? Aid in digestion for the cell, it also recycles old cell material
What does the nucleus do? Holds all the genetic information of the cell and builds ribosomes
What does the plasma membrane do? Maintain the cells environment, also has selective permeability
What do ribosomes do? synthesize proteins from amino acids
What does rough endoplasmic reticulum do? Synthesizes and process proteins in the cell
