Anatomy and Physiology II Midterm Exam 1
Questions and Answers (100% Pass)
What triggers hormone secretion - ✔️✔️Sometimes a nerve goes directly to the gland which
can cause the gland to secrete hormones and other hormones can also stimulate the secretion
of hormones
The role of receptors - ✔️✔️allows hormones to attach to cells or glands
Where insulin and glucagon are made and secreted from - ✔️✔️the endocrine pancreas and
secretes it into the blood
What insulin and glucagon do when the blood glucose goes up and down - ✔️✔️Insulin brings
down high blood sugar, glucagon secreted when blood glucose is low to bring it up
What hemaglobin and thyroid hormones are made out of - ✔️✔️Iodine
Vitamins needed to make RBC and how they are absorbed from the intestines - ✔️✔️B12,
folate, and iron
What is anemia and what are some main causes - ✔️✔️Not enough RBC in body, detected by
the kidneys, traumatic blood lose, womens menstrual cycle
What white cells are phagocytes, which one swarms to wounds first and which one second -
✔️✔️Nuetrophils- swarm to injury first, detroy bacteria and dead tissue to prepare for healing,
phagocytosis- swallowing of bacteria Macrophages come in second
What is hemophilia - ✔️✔️When the body does not make enough clotting factor VIII, found
on X chromosome
What is a platelet plug / Fibrin clot - ✔️✔️Platelets clog initially and then fibrin, a sticky fiber,
binds the platelets and reinforces the platelet plug
What does too much thyroid hormone do to the body (like symptoms); what about too little
thyroid hormone - ✔️✔️Hyper- everything is too fast
Hypo- everything is too slow
What is the ABO system of blood antigens - ✔️✔️Type A has A antigens
Type B has B antigens

Type AB has AB antigens
Type O has no antigens
What is the Rh system of blood antigen - ✔️✔️rh factor is a special antigen in some people
Where is growth hormone made and secreted and what does it do and where does it do it -
✔️✔️Anterior Pituitary Gland- sends signal to liver to send hormone to epiphyseal plates in
long bones
What are the other anterior pituitary hormones - ✔️✔️Growth hormone
Prolactin
Thyroid stimulating hormone
Adrenocorticotropic hormone
Follicle stimulating hormone
Luteinizing hormone
What is blood plasma, what is it made of, and what does it contain - ✔️✔️Proteins, hormones,
clotting factors, salts, water, (...)
What does the SA node do; what about the AV node - ✔️✔️Causes the atriums to contract,
travels via intraventricular fibers to the AV node where it is slowed down to give the
ventricles enough time to fill up before they contract
What is self-depolarization and what part of the conduction system does this - ✔️✔️the
reduction of the resting membrane potential so it becomes more negative, muscles
What is psychosocial stress and what is physiologic stress - ✔️✔️psychosocial stress- real or
imagined factors resulting in stress
physiologic stress- an external environment stressor
What is systole and what happens during it; what valves open or close - ✔️✔️systole is when
the heart contracts forcing blood from the atria into the ventricles. the tricuspid and mitral
valve close
What is diastole and what happens during it; what valves open or close - ✔️✔️the contraction
of the ventricles sending blood into the lungs and the body, pulmonary valve and the aortic
valve
What makes the first heart sound, S1, and the second heart sound, S2 - ✔️✔️s1- mitral and
tricuspid
