What is true regarding the lymphatic system?
1. | A two-way transport system with fluids and cells moving in both directions |
2. | A continuous closed circulation running parallel to the arteries and veins |
3. | A one-way system collecting the lymph from body tissues and spaces and reintroducing it to the bloodstream |
4. | A one-way system collecting lymph from body spaces and soaking it into the body cells |
The major lymphatic ducts in the human body return the interstitial fluid to the blood by opening into:
1. abdominal aorta
2. inferior vena cava
3. right atrium
4. subclavian veins
An abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium, located beneath the skin and in the cavities of the body is called as:
1. Tumor
2. Diverticulum
3. Autoimmune disease
4. Edema
During the isovolumetric contraction of the ventricles:
1. Pressure in the ventricles is decreasing
2. The volume of blood in the ventricles is decreasing
3. The ventricles are completely closed chambers
4. The blood in the atria is moving into the ventricles
Identify the state in which the atria and the ventricles are when most of the ventricular filling occurs:
1. | Both the atria and ventricles are in systole |
2. | The atria are in diastole and the ventricles are in systole |
3. | Both the atria and ventricles are in diastole |
4. | The atria are in systole and the ventricles are in diastole |
A normal hematocrit value of 45 means that ________________.
1. 45% if the formed elements are erythrocytes
2. there are 45 million formed elements per ml of whole blood
3. 45% of the total blood volume is formed elements
4. 45 ml of plasma are tested by centrifugation
The type of antigen on the surface of RBC and the type of antibodies in plasma of person with genotype would respectively be:
1. B; anti B | 2. A; anti B |
3. A; anti A | 4. B; anti A |
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the hemolytic disease of the newborn:
1. | The fetus is Rh positive, and the mother is Rh negative. |
2. | The mother's immune system has made antibodies against the Rh factor present on the red blood cells of the previous baby. |
3. | The baby is born with an abnormally high number of red blood cells. |
4. | This can be prevented if the Rh negative mother has been given RhoGAM (antibodies). |
When a blood vessel gets injured, the first event to occur in hemostasis is:
1. The endothelial lining is damaged, exposing collagen proteins to the blood.
2. The injured blood vessel is dilated by newly released chemicals to let in defense cells.
3. Platelets become "sticky" and a platelet plug is formed near the injury site.
4. A web of fibrin protein strands tightly interweave the platelet plug.
Which of the following ions is vital for coagulation of blood?
1. | Na+ | 2. | Ca++ |
3. | K+ | 4. | H+ |
