APHY 102 Midterm Exam - Ivy Tech EXAM Questions AND Correct
Answers
active immunity - ✔✔the immunity that results from the production
of antibodies by the immune system in response to the presence of an
antigen.
adaptive immunity - ✔✔the ability to recognize and remember
specific antigens and mount an attack on them
adrenal cortex hormones - ✔✔Aldosterone - helps regulate
concentration of sodium and potassium ions
Cortisol - affects glucose metabolism and influences proteins and fat
metabolism
adrenal medulla hormones - ✔✔epinephrine and norepinephrine -
increase heart rate, BP, breathing, decrease digestion
Amylases - ✔✔break down carbohydrates
anterior pituitary hormones - ✔✔ACTH - controls manufacture and
secretion of certain hormones from the outer layer of the adrenal
gland.
FSH - controls growth and development of follicles that house egg
cells in ovaries and stimulate production of sperm cells in the testes.
,GH - stimulates cells to enlarge and more rapidly divide
LH - promotes secretion of sex hormones and allows release of egg
cells from ovaries
PRL - promotes milk production
TSH - controls secretion of certain hormones from the thyroid
At any given moment, where can blood be found in the body? -
✔✔Veins
B cell function - ✔✔antibody production
Basophils - ✔✔release histamine and heparin, <1% of WBC
chemical digestion - ✔✔Process by which enzymes break down food
into small molecules that the body can use
Compare an antigen to an antibody. - ✔✔antigens cause the disease
and antibodies cure it.
Compare serum versus plasma - ✔✔Plasma is the liquid part of blood,
in which blood cells, nutrients and hormones float.
Serum is the fluid part of blood, without the clotting factors or blood
cells.
, Compare the formed elements of the blood. - ✔✔RBCs, WBCs, and
platelets all act together to maintain life. RBCs transport oxygen to
the body's tissues, WBCs fight infections in the body, and platelets
clot wounds that occur.
complete proteins - ✔✔contain all essential amino acids
coronary circulation - ✔✔circulation of blood through the coronary
blood vessels to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle
tissue
Describe a lymphatic vessel - ✔✔Fine, thin-walled, transparent valved
channels distributed through most tissues. They have 3 walls: intima,
media, and adventitia.
Describe an EKG - ✔✔A recordable tracing of the electrical activity of
the heart that the production and conduction of action potentials in
the heart produces.
Describe carbohydrates - ✔✔Organic compounds, including sugars
and starches
Describe lipids - ✔✔organic compound that is not soluble in water
and makes up biological membranes
