Bio-212 Test #1 Nancy Gartland Anatomy and Physiology II
Camden County College Questions With Complete Solutions
-osis Correct Answers high number of cells
-penia Correct Answers low number of cells
action potential propagates Correct Answers SA node of right
atrium - AV node - AV bundle - right and left bundle branches -
purkinje fibers
afterload Correct Answers pressure that must be exceeded
before ejection of clood from the ventricles can occur
agranulocytes Correct Answers type of WBC that does not
have granules, monocytes and lymphocytes
albumins Correct Answers 60% of plasma proteins, major
contributors to osmotic pressure of the plasma
anastomoses Correct Answers union of the branches of two or
more arteries supplying the same body region
angiogenesis Correct Answers growth of new blood vessels
angiotensin II Correct Answers strong vasoconstrictor
(increases BP), stimulates secretion of aldosterone which
increases sodium ions and water reabsorption in the kidneys
which increases BP
,anterior inventricular sulcus Correct Answers anterior between
L and R ventricle
antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Correct Answers produced by the
hypothalamus, stored in pituitary gland, released in response to
thirst caused by dehydration, causes vasoconstriction
antigens Correct Answers substances which can trigger a
protective defense mechanism called an immune response, most
are proteins
aortic semilunar valve Correct Answers blood passes from the
left ventricle to the aorta through this valve
arterial stick Correct Answers procedure in which blood is
taken from an artery
arteries carry blood Correct Answers away from the heart
artery walls Correct Answers tunica interna, tunica media,
tunica externa/advantitia
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) Correct Answers released by
the atria, causes vasodialation, promotes filtration of sodium
ions and water from the kidney increasing urination and
decreasing blood volume
atrium/atria Correct Answers thin, muscular walled chambers
of heart (R & L); very expandable
auricle Correct Answers outer, deflated portion of atrium
, ausculation Correct Answers act of listening to the sounds of
the body
auto-rhythmic fibers Correct Answers during embryonic
development about 1% of cardiac muscle cells become
pacemaker cells that set the rhythm of the heart, beat at about
120 bpm naturally, this is slowed by the nervous system
basophils Correct Answers less than 1% of circulating WBC;
granules contain histamine and heparin; vasodialation; prevents
clotting; enhance inflammation
benefits of aerobic activity Correct Answers increased cardiac
output, decreased blood pressure, weight control, increased
fibrinolytic activity
blood Correct Answers connective tissue composed of a liquid
extra-cellular matrix, plasma, and formed elements
blood distribution Correct Answers largest portion of blood is
at rest in systemic veins and venules
blood pH Correct Answers 7.35-7.45
blood pressure Correct Answers contraction of the ventricles
generates this, hydrostatic pressure exerted by blood on the
walls of a blood vessel
blood temperature Correct Answers 38*C or 100.4*F
