Define inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
The max. volume of gas that can be forcefully inhaled after a normal inhalation
Innate immune system description
Defense system that is used to attack pathogens
Physical barriers: Skin, GI, body hair
Adaptive immune system
Uses specific antigens to strategically mount an immune response.
Uses immunological memory to learn about the threat and enhance the immune
response.
How does the innate and adaptive immune system work together?
The innate system tells the adaptive system when it's time to help mount a defense.
Natural Active Immunity
production of one's own antibodies or T cells as a result of infection or natural exposure
to antigen
Natural Passive Immunity
acquired by a child through placenta and breast milk
Artificial Active Immunity
vaccination
Artificial Passive Immunity
Injection of an antiserum derived from an immune individual

Function of the spleen
Immune surveillance and response in BLOOD. Collects antigens in blood and also
degrades old RBCs and damaged RBCs.
Pulmonary ventilation
movement of air into and out of the lungs
External Respiration
The exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood cells in the pulmonary
capillaries; also called pulmonary respiration.
Internal Respiration
Exchange of gases between cells and the blood
Involuntary respiration is controlled by the...
Respiratory centers of the upper brain stem
- Chemoreceptors detect pH levels in blood and sends signals to the respiratory center
of the brain to adjust ventilation rate.
How do you calculate Minute Ventilation?
tidal volume x respiratory rate
How do you calculate MAP?
diastolic pressure + 1/3 pulse pressure
Flow of blood in the heart:
Superior and inferior vena cava flows into the Right atrium
Right atrium -> Right Ventricle
Right ventricle -> Pulmonary artery
Pulmonary artery -> Pulmonary veins
