Anatomy A – Z

Interleukins (IL) are a type of cytokine first thought to be expressed by leukocytes alone but have later been found

Immunoglobulins (Ig) or antibodies are glycoproteins that are produced by plasma cells. B cells are instructed by specific immunogens, for,

The Immune response is the body’s ability to stay safe by affording protection against harmful agents and involves lines of

Adaptive immunity has evolved to provide a broader and more finely tuned repertoire of recognition for both self-and nonself-antigens. Adaptive

Innate Immunity/ The innate immune system is essentially made up of barriers that aim to keep viruses, bacteria, parasites, and other

Lymphoid Organs/The organs of the body which comprise the immune system and/or contribute to immune function include the bone marrow,

Lymph Cells and Tissues/A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell in the immune system. Lymphocytes develop from lymphoblasts (differentiated

Lymphatic vessels contain valves that prevent the backflow of transported lymph. The lymphatic vessels are so thin that the mere

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that work together to move a colorless, watery fluid called lymph back into

What are Circulatory Pathways/The circulatory system includes the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph. The passage of lymph takes much longer

Circulatory Routes /The circulatory system includes the lymphatic system, which circulates lymph. The passage of lymph takes much longer than that

Circulatory shock is characterized by the inability of multiorgan blood flow and oxygen delivery to meet metabolic demands. Cardiogenic shock is a type

Capillary exchange refers to the exchange of material from the blood into the tissues in the capillary. … Hydrostatic pressure is a force generated

Systemic blood pressure refers to the pressure exerted on blood vessels in the systemic circulation and is often measured using arterial pressure, or pressure exerted upon arteries

Control of Blood pressure is a cardinal vital sign that guides both acute and long-term clinical decision-making. Given its importance

Blood Flow Mechanisms through the body delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, cells, products of defense mechanisms for wound healing, and platelets.

Blood Flow System through the body delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, cells, products of defense mechanisms for wound healing, and platelets.

Hemodynamics is the dynamics of blood flow. The circulatory system is controlled by homeostatic mechanisms of autoregulation, just as hydraulic circuits

Blood flow through the body delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, cells, products of defense mechanisms for wound healing, and platelets. The

A venule is a small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows deoxygenated blood to return from capillary beds to larger blood
