Functions of the pulmonary system ventilate alveoli diffuse gases in and out of blood, Infectious disorders examples Examples: Pneumonia, Tuberculosis Non-infections disorder examples pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, and pulmonary HTN perfuse the lungs so that the organs and tissues of the body receive blood that is rich in O2 and low in CO2 Diaphragm Large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with inspiration contracts > increased negative pressure...

Myocardial ischemia loss of blood supply to heart muscle tissue of myocardium due to occlusion of coronary artery; may cause angina pectoris or myocardial infarction myocardial infarction (MI) heart attack; death of myocardial tissue (infarction) caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) as a result of an occlusion (plugging) of a coronary artery; usually caused by atherosclerosis; symptoms include pain in the chest or upper body (shoulders, neck, and jaw), shortness of breath, diaphoresis,...

What is the body's defense against ROS? Antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, cysteine, glutathione, albumin, ceruloplasmin, transferrin) How does a hypertonic solution alter osmolality? Increases solute concentration, causing INCREASED osmolality. Causes cells to SHRINK. What lab values are elevated as we age? Interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and C-reactive protein Role of hepatocytes Acetyl CoA is processed by hepatocytes and transforms to 3 ketone bodies: 1. Acetoa...
