Question to answer after watching the Interactive Physiology - The Immune System: Innate Host Defenses 1. Name the two major categories of innate (nonspecific) defenses: • Surface Barriers • Innate Internal Defenses 2. Surface barriers include the Intact skin and mucous membranes of the respiratory‚ gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. 3. List the three properties of skin that help it resist invasion: • Keratin: tough protein in skin cells‚ forms an abrasion- and water-resistant outermost

Tissues in the Body Unit 5 – Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care Epithelial Cuboidal – cube shaped‚ prominent nucleus. Can be found in medulla of kidney. Does not allow for passive diffusion easily. Columnar – tall‚ vertical‚ thick cells. Can be found in the small intestine. Does not allow passive diffusion easily. Active transport is needed. Move nutrients from intestine to blood = absorption! Can have microvilli to increase surface area. Squamous – large‚ thin and prominent

control of blood flow. 7. To comprehend that changing blood vessel diameter can alter the pumping ability of the heart. 8. To examine the effect of stroke volume on blood flow. _____________________________________________________________ The physiology of human blood circulation can be divided into two distinct but remarkably harmonized processes: (1) the pumping of blood by the heart‚ and (2) the transport of blood to all body tissues via the vasculature‚ or blood vessels. Blood supplies all

PET 3351 Exercise Physiology Second Exam Review (Fall 2012) Chapter IV: The Physiological Basis of Muscular Strength and Flexibility 1. Strength is operationally defined as the maximal force that can be exerted in a single effort. Using this definition‚ strength should be assessed using one repetition maximum (1 RM)‚ though we often estimate strength using tests that may involve multiple repetitions. 2. In strength training and rehabilitation‚ emphasis should be given to both the concentric

Horner’s Syndrome Anatomy and physiology Horner’s syndrome is a rare condition that targets the nerves in one’s eyes and face. Horner’s syndrome is caused by any type of interruption in a pack of nerves that begin in a part of one’s brain that is called the hypothalamus and it travels to one’s face to their eyes. Horner’s syndrome’s symptoms include‚ drooping eyelips‚ and small constricted pupil. In an eye examine one’s eye may have changed in the way one’s pupil opens and closes or
