True or False? The type of tissue which binds and supports body parts is muscle tissue
false

Which of these is NOT an example of connective tissue?
muscle
True or False? One of the skin's functions involves the regulation of body temperature.
true
True or False? The dermis of the skin is composed of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue.
false
True or False? The epidermis is made up of layers of flat cells containing the waterproof protein, keratin.
true
Functions in the movement of the limbs, head and trunk.
skeletal muscle
Found in stomach and arteries; moves substances through the lumen of these organs
smooth muscle
Found in heart muscle.
cardiac muscle
When the ventricles contract, blood is prevented from backing up into the atria by the:
atrioventricular valves
The "pacemaker" of the electrical conduction system of the heart is the:
SA node
Deoxygenated blood (low in oxygen) is found in the:
left pulmonary arteries
The first heart sound (lub) is caused by vibrations occuring when the __________ valves close during ventricular ____________ .
atrioventricular;systole
The accumulation of soft masses of fatty material beneath the inner lining of arteries is a condition known as ____________ and may lead to a potentially fatal ___________ .
atherosclerosis;thromboembolism
Oxygenated blood (high in oxygen) leaves the heart through the
aorta
Blood vessels that are one cell thick to allow exchange of material between the blood and tissue.
capillaries
Blood vessels which contain valves
veins
Blood pressure is highest in these vessels.
arteries
Constriction and dilation of these blood vessels help regulate blood pressure
arterioles
Highly muscular lower chambers of the heart.
ventricles
Muscular wall seperating the right and left sides of the heart.
septum
Dissolves thromboembolisms.
t-PA
Reduces the ability of platelets to stick together and thus lowers the probability of a heart attack.
aspirin
Blood vessel removed from a limb is used to form a new blood flow from the aorta to a blocked coronary artery.
coronary bipass
Many copies of the gene for this factor is injected directly into the heart to encourage the growth of new blood vessels.
VEGF
Closed artery is forced open by a ballon attached to a plastic tube threaded into the artery.
angioplasty
Method of treating Congestive Heart Failure.
heart transplant
Records electrical changes that occur in the myocardium during the heart cycle.
ECG
A person with Type O blood:
has neither A or B antigens on their RBCs
Liquid portion of the blood, 98% of which is water.
plasma
Oxygen carrying pigment of erythrocytes.
hemoglobin
Liquid portion of the blood without the blood clotting protein fibrinogen.
serum
Excess tissue fluid absorbed in the capillary beds.
lymph
Group of granular and agranular cells which fight infection.
leukocytes
Type of white blood cells which are responsible for specific immunity.
lymphocytes
Cell fragments which aid in clotting, also known as platlets.
thrombocytes
Mature into macrophages which phagocytize pathogens.
