Answer: D – it suppresses the hormone glucagon
Which hormone wouldn’t have any effect in preventing
osteoporosis?
a. Growth Hormone
b. Estrogen
c. Calcitonin
d. Aldosterone
Answer: D aldosterone helps retain sodium and water
Which is not a substance released by the pancreas

Which is the inner layer of the adrenal gland that produces steroidal hormones?
D. Zona Reticularis
True or False
Erythropoietin is produce by both the kidneys and the
adrenal glands
Answer: False produce by the kidneys and the liver
True or False
A description of a hormones permissive effect would be that one hormone would increase the target cell response to a second hormone
Answer: True
True or False
SAID drugs have similar effect on a inflammatory response as the hormones secreted by the Zona Fasciculata of the adrenal gland
Answer: True
True or False
Taking hormones will cause a down regulation of hormones produced by the body
Answer: True
is involved in lots of things; respiration, nutrition, waste removal, water balance, pH balance, internal communication, immune defense, and thermal regulation. It has two main components; Plasma / Serum and Formed Elements
Blood
is a clear extracellular fluid with electrolytes
Plasma
is basically plasma without the clotting proteins
Serum
are basically blood cells and platelets (erythrocytes and leukocytes)
Formed Elements
is the percentage of red blood cells to the total volume of blood. This is determined by centrifuge that will separate particles. Red blood cells go to the bottom and are normally about 45%
Hematocrit
is the 2nd layer in the centrifuge and is such a thin layer (less than 1%)
Buffy Coat
is on top totaling 55%. Blood has viscosity (or thickness) to it with a normal range is 4.5 – 5.5. Viscosity basically measures cohesive factor or power. The lower the number the thinner it is.
Plasma
is the total number of dissolved solutes in the blood. This is important because it increases the rate of water pulled in by the interstitial tissues (between the cells). When vs. tissue where it is greater, water is going to flow into the circulatory system. The higher in the tissue would pull water in other direction causing edema or swelling in the tissues
Blood Osmolarity
of the blood is mostly controlled by proteins in the blood, red blood cells and sodium. The contributions of proteins to the blood osmotic pressure are called colloid osmotic pressure. It refers to the pressure created by the proteins that are in the blood. Things that can affect protein concentration in the blood would be liver disease, kidney disease, or severe burns
Osmolarity
will oft time cause pools of fluid to accumulate in the abdominal cavity which is referred to as acsities
Severe Burns
is not getting enough protein in their diet causing swollen abdomen and skinny arms and legs
Kwashiorkor
There are 3 types of globulins floating in the blood;
alpha, beta and gamma globulins
are tissues that produce blood are referred to as
Hemopoietic
is referred to the production of formed elements (RBC, WBC, and Platelets).
Haematopoieses
Most formed elements are produced by the _______________, which is red bone marrow
Myeloid Tissue
Most formed elements are produced by the myeloid tissue which is red bone marrow. This process begins with stem cells called _____________. They are capable of becoming multiple cells because they are stem cells
Hemocytoblasts
refers to red blood cell production and your body produces about 2.5 million every second of every day of your life
Erthropoiesis
is oxygen storage molecules that are made inside the muscle cells to help us store oxygen
Myoglobin
in blood transports oxygen, iron is a critical part of this molecule.
Hemoglobin
or WBC production is referred to as Leukopoiesis
Leukocytes
is white blood cell production that is mostly produced in the red bone marrow. Some will mature there but the rest will go to the thymas gland and mature there. Once matured they migrate to the spleen and lymph nodes from here are distributed to lymph tissue
Leukopoiesis
is platelet production
Thrombopoysis
have 2 main functions; transport oxygen and carry carbon dioxide the opposite direction. They lack mitochondria which is responsible for the cell respiration. They have to use up anaerobic fermentation for their energy
Erythrocytes
megakaryoblast replicates its DNA over and over again without cell division and it becomes a giant cell called a
Megakaryocyte
Megakarocytes explodes basically like a blown up balloon until it pops, exploding into these fragments called __________________. They floating around in the blood and about 1/3 of them are stored in the spleen and released when needed
Functional Platelets
would be a deficiency of RBC. Problems with would be hypoxia (low oxygen), decrease blood osmolarity would go down causing anemia, and blood viscosity to the point that it could actually cause cardiac failure
Anemia
is oxygen deprivation (or lack of)
Hypoxia
has to do with your genetic code. Genes within your DNA will code a cell marker to your red blood cells. 3 common aliases of blood types would be ABO’s. The type of marker that is on the outside of the blood cells are actually a sugar type molecule. The type of sugar that is added is galactose
Blood Typing
causes the blood cells to become very sticky and because they are sticking they are not getting into the capillaries leaving the cells without oxygen. Hypoxia will begin to occur, maybe even clots. If not fixed quickly then death could occur
