STUDY GUIDE DETAILED ANSWERS READY
◉ tropic hormone regulation.
Answer: hypothalamic releasing and inhibiting hormones regulated
through homeostasis
(TSH stimulates thyroid)
◉ Target Cells.
Answer: Cells with specific receptors for hormones
◉ Homeostatic responses.
Answer: Body's mechanisms to maintain internal balance
(blood glucose regulation)
◉ Structure and function of blood.
Answer: Structure: A connective tissue consists of plasma,
erythrocytes (RBCs), leukocytes (WBCs) and platelets
(thrombocytes)
Function: Transports gases, nutrients, waste and hormones
,◉ Plasma consists of.
Answer: Water
Proteins (albumin and globulin)
Nutrients
Electrolytes
◉ Structure and function of erythrocytes (red blood cells).
Answer: Structure: biconcave disc with no nucleus
Function: Carry oxygen via hemoglobin
◉ Function of Leukocytes (White Blood Cells).
Answer: Defense against pathogens (granulocytes and
agranulocytes)
◉ Function of Platelets (thrombocytes).
Answer: Aid in clotting
◉ Hematopoiesis.
Answer: Formation in red bone marrow
◉ Hemostasis.
, Answer: Stopping of blood flow
Ex: Vascular spasm > Platelet plug > Coagulation
◉ ABO and Rh compatibility.
Answer: Blood type matching to prevent transfusion reactions.
◉ Agglutination.
Answer: clumping of red blood cells
◉ Cardiovascular system.
Answer: Transports blood through a closed system of vessels
powered by the rhythmic contractions of the heart
◉ Four chambers of the heart.
Answer: right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, left ventricle
◉ Valves of the heart.
Answer: tricuspid valve, pulmonary semilunar valve, bicuspid/mitral
valve, aortic semilunar valve
◉ Tricuspid Valve (Right AV Valve)
