Describe an artery?   Carries blood AWAY from the heart High in oxygen Thick, smooth muscle pumps the blood = PULSE HIGH pressure  
🗑
Describe a vein?   Carries blood TO the heart Low in oxygen Thin, smooth layer Valves to stop the backflow of blood LOWER pressure  
🗑
Describe capillaries?   Carries blood from small arteries to small veins Wall is 1 cell thick Diffusion occurs food and O2 delivered CO2 and wastes are picked up from cells VERY LOW pressure - blood cells go through 1 at a time Helps control body heat  
🗑
What is hypertension? Describe and etc.   HIGH blood pressure B.P. = force of blood on inside walls of arteries High b.p. can damage blood vessels and make heart work harder Exercise, low salt diet and weight control help control high b.p.  
🗑

🗑
What is a wbc? Describe it.   Have about 7,000/mL if healthy RBC 700:1 WBC Made in bone marrow and lymph nodes Have a nucleus and live many years Kill invaders by eating them Make antibodies, which also fight invaders  
🗑
What is a platelet? Describe it.   Cell fragments Last about 10 days Main function is to form clots When you get cut - the platelets collect around broken blood vessels, release an enzyme called FIBRIN (fiber) This forms a net and traps RBC’s and stops bleeding Clot dries = scab

🗑
Define "blood pressure." .   Force exerted by blood on the inside walls of arteries  
🗑
Define "Systolic pressure".   pressure when ventricles contract  
🗑
Define "Diastolic pressure"   pressure when ventricles relax  
🗑
How does blood regulate body temperature?   Regulated by opening and closing of blood vessels in your skin to lose or conserve heat Also, is controlled by the brain
