Question 20

Solution

1. Endocrine.

Endocrine glands are ductless glands that pour their secretion directly into blood stream.

2. Phagocytosis.

Phagocytosis is the process of ingesting solid food material by the cell.

3. Agglutination.

Clumping of RBCs togther is called agglutintion. This usually occurs during mismatch bloo groupings.

4. Golgi apparatus.

Golgi apparatus is concerned for sorting and packaging of material coming from ER to different destinations of the cell.

5. the pulmonary and systematic circuits

The cardiovascular system is composed of two circulatory paths: pulmonary circulation, the circuit through the lungs where blood is oxygenated, and systemic circulation, the circuit through the rest of the body to provide oxygenated blood.

6. smooth muscle

Middle layer or Tunica media is made up of smooth muscle cells and elastic tissue. It lies between the tunica intima on the inside and the tunica externa on the outside.

7. Hypertension.

Hypertension is the term used to refer abnormal rise in blood pressure.

8.neuroglia
9. bone.

10. Negative feedback.

Increase in the level of glucose.

11. nerves/blood vessels--epidermis.

12.pump blood to the lungs and body.

Ventricles act as distributing chambers supplying blood to different body organs. Right ventricle pumps deoxygensted blood to lungs and left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood to body tissues.
