Transport Assessment Study Guide

Anatomy and Physiology Transport Assessment Study Guide

Blood (Ch. 11):  Components of blood- know all constituents (plasma and formed elements)  Hemopoiesis, Erythropoesis, and Hemocytoblasts  Structure/function of red blood cells vs. white blood cells  Blood types  Differences between granulocytes and agranulocytes  Hemostasis - stages  What are reticulocytes?  Role of hemoglobin and significance of iron

Cardiovascular (Ch. 12):  All structures of heart- study your diagrams!!  Flow of blood through the heart  Coronary arteries and cardiac veins- location & function  Cardiac cycle- heart sounds, nodes, systole, and diastole  Study diagram on p. 227 and 228 in book  Concentration of gases in arterial blood vs. tissues  Pulmonary vs. systemic circuits (be able to describe diagrams)

Lymphatic (Ch. 13):  Know all structures/functions (Primary vs. Secondary organs)  Gland that plays role in both endocrine and lymphatic systems

Respiratory (Ch.14):  Location/function of all respiratory structures  Importance of respiratory membrane  Histology of respiratory structures  Inspiration, expiration  Process of gas exchange in the lungs  Dual role of pharynx and epiglottis  Structure and function of air passages  Histology of respiratory structures  Site of external vs. internal respiration  Role of diaphragm  P. 276 diagram in book.  Transport mechanism that allows exchange of oxygen & carbon dioxide?
