25 Questions

1.

2.
-propels blood through the blood vessels
-the key organ of the circulatory system
-composed of cardiac muscle tissue
-4 muscular chambers: right and left atria and the right and left ventricles
-regulates blood flow through a double-loop system, pumping oxygenated blood to body tissue and deoxygenated blood to the lungs

3. -condition of having too little platelets that can cause excessive bleeding
-can result in excessive external bleeding, such as nosebleeds, or bruising caused by uncontrolled bleeding under the skin

4. The pressure of the blood in the circulatory system
-has 2 numbers (ex: 120/80) which reflect the different pressures that occur at systole and diastole
-is maintained by adjusting cardiac output and vascular resistance
-if it begins to increase, the medulla will signal the heart to beat slower
-if it begins to drop, the heart rate will increase to adjust

5.
-describes the period b/t the start of one heartbeat and the beginning of the next
-2 phases: systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation)

6. Platelets

7.
-chambers of the heart that collect and expel blood from the heart
-2 of them; left and right

8. -often described as a double loop b/c blood flows through the heart twice:
1. once in its oxygenated state on its way to the body (systemic circuit)
2. once more when it is deoxygenated and on its way to the lungs (pulmonary circuit)
-these 2 pathways are called the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit!

9.
-largest artery in the body!
-the artery that carries blood pumped from the LEFT ventricle of the heart into systemic circulation

10.
-red blood cells
-account for the second greatest component of blood by volume
-the functional unit of a erythrocyte is hemoglobin

11.
-white blood cells
-part of the body's immune response
-remove pathogens and foreign material from the blood
-there are several different types, each with their own function!

12.
-blood flows once more when it is deoxygenated and on its way to the lungs
-contains the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the lungs
-deoxygenated blod flows from the right ventricle through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, where blood picks up oxygen, then returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary valve

13. 1. arteries
2. capillaries
3. veins

14.
-largest vein in the body!
-brings deoxygenated blood back to the heart
-runs from heart to down body

15. -waste products are often absorbed into the lymph!
-clear plasma-like fluid high in white blood cells that absorbs waste products
-filtered through one of several lymph nodes
-eventually drained into the subclavian veins

16.
-ALSO called bicuspid
-separates left atrium and left ventricle

17.
type of white blood cell that releases antibodies in response to disease and harness other immune system responses

18. Which of the following cardiac valve(s) is forced open during ventricular ejection?

19.

20.
-ALSO called the circulatory system
-made up of the heart, blood vessels, and the blood
-supplies oxygen and nutrients to every living cell throughout the body by orchestrating movement of blood and lymph

21. -bring blood from the lungs to the heart
-are among the few veins that carry oxygenated blood!

22.
-functional unit of a erythrocyte
-iron containing protein that facilitates gas exchange by binding to oxygen or carbon dioxide

23. Which of the following best describes the function of the lymphatic system?

24. develops when the heart can no longer pump blood effectively, such as when weakened heart valves permit the back flow of blood into the chambers

25.
condition that occurs when hemoglobin levels are low, either b/c the body isn't producing enough red blood cells, such as when someone has iron deficiency, or b/c of another underlying condition that causes the red blood cells to be irregularly shaped, such as the sickle-cell trait
