APHY 102 Ch 17,18,19 Test / Revised Questions
and Answers / Guaranteed Pass
A blood - A antigens, B antibodies
AB blood - A and B antigens, no antibodies; universal recipient
Agranulocytes - A group of leukocytes without granules in their nuclei; lymphocytes, monocytes.
Albumin - protein in blood; maintains the proper amount of water in the blood, contributes to
plasma osmotic pressure.
amoeboid motion - The flowing movement of the cytoplasm of a phagocyte.
Anastomoses of the heart - connections between branches of the same coronary artery or
between branches of the left and right coronary artery
Anemia - lack of a normal number of red blood cells
angina pectoris - Chest pain caused by inadequate oxygen to the heart
arrhythmia - Abnormal heart rhythm
arterial blood pressure - determined by elasticity of arteries close to heart and volume of blood
forced into them at any time
Arteries - carry blood away from heart; oxygenated except for pulmonary circulation and umbilical
vessels of fetus
, Arterioles - the smallest arteries that connect with the capillaries
atriocentricular valves - Prevent blood flwoing back into the atria during systole
Located between atria and ventricles
AV node (atrioventricular node) - Conduction relay node between the atria and ventricles. Signal
from the SA node travels through the AV node to the ventricles
B blood - B antigens, A antibodies
Basophils - A circulating leukocyte that produces histamine; rarest (0.5-1%)
blood doping - athletes remove, store, and reinfuse RBCs before an event to increase O2 levels for
stamina.
blood flow during exercise - Increased cardiac output
Redistribution of blood flow
blood pressure - the pressure that is exerted by the blood against the walls of blood vessels
Blood vessel walls - all vessels consist of lumen, central blood-containing space, surrounded by
wall
Bradycardia - slow heart rate (less than 60 bpm)
Capillaries - Microscopic vessel through which exchanges take place between the blood and cells
of the body
Cardiac cells - striated, branched, intercalated discs, gap junctions, many mitochondria, 1 central
nucelus
