Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front anatomical sphincter
    Back smooth or skeletal muscle surrounding the lumen of a vessel or hollow organ that can restrict flow when contracted
  • Front angiotensin I
    Back protein produced by the enzymatic action of renin on angiotensinogen; inactive precursor of angiotensin II
  • Front angiotensin II
    Back protein produced by the enzymatic action of ACE on inactive angiotensin I; actively causes vasoconstriction and stimulates aldosterone release by the adrenal cortex
  • Front angiotensinogen
    Back inactive protein in the circulation produced by the liver; precursor of angiotensin I; must be modified by the enzymes renin and ACE to be activated
  • Front anuria
    Back absence of urine produced; production of 50 mL or less per day

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 25, 26 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
