What makes AB blood unique?

• It has both A and B antigens on it. That means it can ACCEPT blood from anybody, but cannot donate to anyone but other AB people

• It has neither A nor B antigens on it. That means it can DONATE blood to anybody, but it cannot receive from anyone but other AB people.

• People who are AB blood type have been exposed to all blood type proteins, and therefore they can donate blood to any other individual because of their prior exposure.

• AB blood type possesses both A and B antibodies. Because of these antibodies they pose no immune system threat to other blood types.

The P wave in an electrocardiogram...

• Represents the polarization (or relaxation) of the atria.

• Represents the depolarization of the atria, which results in atrial contraction (or atrial systole).

• Represents the depolarization of the ventricles, which results in the ventricular contractions (or ventricular diastole).

• Represents the polarization (or relaxation) of the ventricles.

What hormones does the adrenal medulla secrete?

• epinephrine and norepinephrine

• cortisol

• aldosterone

• androgens

What hormone is responsible for making red blood cells?

• Erythropoietin

• Testosterone

• Antichorticotrophic Hormone

• Antidiuretic Hormone

Pernicious anemia is…

• Caused by the body not being able to absorb enough vitamin B12.

• Caused by the premature rupturing of red blood cells.

• Caused by an extreme acute or chronic loss of blood.

• Caused by a genetic mutation which causes the red blood cell to fold into a scythe shape after oxygen has left the hemoglobin.

One type of anemia is caused by a lack of intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor …

• Is supposed to be secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach and enables the absorption of vitamin B-12.

• Is a hormonal factor in creating erythropoietin.

• Is important for the production of calcitonin

• Is one of the chemical ingredients between T 3 and T4 composing Thyroid Hormone.

What hormone is NOT secreted by the anterior pituitary?

• Follicle stimulating hormone

• Luteinizing hormone

• Prolactin

• Oxytocin

What hormone does the pineal gland secrete and what does it do?

• Melatonin - regulates the circadian rhythm by maintaining a balance between sleep and wakefulness based on light exposure

• Oxytocin – is the “love hormone” and creates the positive feedback mechanism for birth in women

• Testosterone – responsible for secondary sexual characteristics in males and develops muscles
