Biology Final Review 3
Which of the following is true about the release of histamine from cells in the nasal passages?
-It occurs during an allergic reaction. -It causes nearby capillaries to swell -It may cause increased secretion by mucous membranes.
Mucous membranes
-are moist epithelial layers that are impermeable to most pathogens. -line the nasal passages, mouth, lungs, digestive tract, urethra, and vagina. -contain glands that secrete mucus, a sticky fluid that traps pathogens
When a puncture wound becomes infected,
-damaged cells release chemicals that promote the immune response. -the temperature around the wound increases. -white blood cells move into the injured area.
When the inflammatory response is triggered,
-damaged or infected cells release chemical alarm signals. -more fluid than normal leaks from capillaries near the injury, and swelling results. -white blood cells attack invading pathogens.
The origin of a muscle
-is at the opposite end of the muscle from the insertion. -is located on a bone that remains stationary when the muscle contracts. -does not move when the muscle contracts.
Gas exchange occurs when
-oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood in the capillaries. -oxygen binds with hemoglobin in the red blood cells. -the red blood cells give up oxygen to the cells of the body tissues.
Secondary exposure to a pathogen
-results in very rapid production of antibodies. -stimulates memory cells to divide quickly. -may result in destruction of the pathogen before a person knows he or she is infected.
Connective tissues include
-tendons that connect muscle to bone -the layer beneath your skin that connects the skin to muscle -fat
HIV can be transmitted
-through sexual intercourse with an infected person. -by the transfer of body fluids containing HIV or HIV-infected cells. -by sharing contaminated hypodermic needles and syringes.
