blood vessels, heart,immune

QuestionAnswer
B What are the functions of blood? transportation of O2, CO2, metabolic wastes, nutrients, heat & hormones, regulation, protection from disease.
B What are physical characteristics of blood? thick, 100.4 degrees, pH 7.4, 8% volume.
B What are the components of blood? plasma, water, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, respiratory gases, electrolytes, and waste products.

B What are the components of blood? plasma, water, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, respiratory gases, electrolytes, and waste products.
B What is hemopoiesis and where does it happen? It is blood formation and it occurs in yolk sac of embryo and red bone marrow of adults.
B Pluripotent stem cells are precursors for?
B Myleoid stem cells are precursors for?
B Lymphoid stem cells?
B What is the production of red blood cells called and where does it occur? Erythropoiesis. Red bone marrow.
B What is hemostasis? The response to stop bleeding.
B What is hemorrahage?
B What the 3 mechanisms can reduce blood loss from blood vessels? Small blood vessel contraction (vascular spasm), platelet plug formation, blood clotting.
B What are the 3 stages of blood clotting? prothrombinase is formed, prothrombinase convert prothrombin into thrombin, thrombin converts fibrinogen (blood protein)into fibrin threads.
B Red blood cells are formed elements of blood. Erythrocytes. Live only 120 days.
B White blood cells are formed elements of blood. Leukocytes (granular: neutrophils engulf bacteria and debris, basophil, and eosinophil fights infections). (agranular: lymphocytes like t cells and b cells, and monocytes large particles)
B Platelets are formed elements of blood. Thrombocytes.
B Where does recycling of hemoglobin and what happens? Occurs in macrophages of liver or spleen. Globin portion broken down into amino acids & recycled and heme portion split into iron (Fe+3) and biliverdin (green pigment).
B What is the fate of components of Heme (the iron-containing portion of the hemoglobin)? Iron (Fe+3)transported in blood attached to transferrin protein, stored in liver, muscle or spleen. Biliverdin (green) converted to bilirubin (yellow) bilirubin secreted by liver into bile.
B What is the extrinsic pathway? Blood clotting that happens in seconds.
B What is the intrinsic pathway? Blood clotting that happens in minutes.
B What is the dissolution of clot? fibrinolysis
B What is a clot formed in an unbroken blood vessel? thrombosis (clot)
B What is a blood clot, air bubble, or fat from a broken bone that gets into the blood? embolus
BV What is the systemic and pulmonary circulations? Closed systems of vessels.
BV Carry blood from the heart? Arteries. Elastic arteries (3rd layer, conduction, accept blood under pressure) Muscular arteries (2nd layer, distributing, increase and decrease lumen size).
BV What are the 3 major layers of the artery wall? Tunica interna (simple squamous epithelium), tunica media (smooth muscle), tunica externa (elastic and collagen).
BV What other 2 are similar to arteries? Arterioles, capillaries (site of exchange).
BV Carry blood back to the heart? Veins. Same 3 tunics as arteries but have thinner tunica interna and media and a thicker tunica externa. (blood reservoir)
H How many miles does the heart pump? 60,000
H What is the mediastinum? Where the heart is located, between the lungs.
H What is the pericardium? Holds the heart in place. Fibrous (outer,dense irregular ct, protects the heart). Serous (membrane).
H What are the 3 layers of heart wall? epicardium(visceral layer of serous peri) myocardium(cardiac muscle layer, bulk of heart) endocardium(chamber lining and valves)
H How many chambers does the heart have? 4. 2 upper atria, 2 lower ventricles
H What is sulci? grooves on surface of heart containing coronary blood vessels and fat
H Structure and function of right atria? receives blood from 3 sources: superior and inferior vena cava and coronary sinus. tricuspid valve: blood flows to right ventricle.
H Structure and function of right ventricle? papillary muscles, chordae tendineae, interventricular septum, pulmonary semilunar: blood flows into pulmonary trunk.
H Structure and function of left atrium? forms most base of heart, receives blood from lungs, bicuspid valve: blood pass thru into LV.
H Structure and function of left ventricle? forms apex of heart, chordae tendineae anchor bicuspid valve to papillary muscles, aortic semilunar valve: blood pass thru into ascending aorta.
H Valves open and close in response to what? pressure changes as the heart contracts and relaxes.
H AV valves open and allow blood to flow? from atria into ventricles when ventricle pressure is lower than atrial pressure (ventricles are relaxed)
H SL valves open with ventricular contraction allowing blood to flow? into pulmonary trunk and aorta.
H What do coronary arteries supply? nutrition
H What are 2 specialized types of cardiovascular muscle cells? contractile cells: mechanical work of pumping, 99% of CMC. autorhythmic cells: DONOT contract, initiate and conduct action potentials responsible for contraction of working cells.
H Conduction system of the heart? coordinates contraction of heart muscle. SA node (in RA), AV node (in RA), AV bundle of his (in route to LV), R/L bundle branches, purkinje fibers.
H What is an EKG? recording of electrical changes in each cardiac cycle (heartbeat)
H Atrial depolarization? P wave
H Interval from atrial to ventricular excitation? P to Q wave
H Ventricular depolarization? QRS wave
H Ventricular repolarization? T wave
H What is stroke volume? 70mL SV=EDV-ESV
H What is normal BP? 120/80
H What is systole and diastole? contraction (volume of blood in ventricle at the end of systole, 60mL) and relaxation (volume of blood in ventricle at the end of diastole, 130mL)
H Hypertension? high BP (causes resistance to blood flow)
H Hypotension? low BP
H Cardiac output? CO=SV x HR
H Preload? Frank-Starling Law, muscle is stretched, greater force of contraction, more blood=more force of contraction results.
H Contractility? automonic nerves, hormones, Ca+2 or K+ levels
H Afterload? amount of pressure created by blood in the way, high BP= high afterload
H What is the first heart sound? lubb, closing of AV valves (loud)
H What is the second heart sound? dupp, closing of semilunar valves
H Location of cardiovascular center? medulla oblongata
I What are microscopic organisms? microbes: parasites (live in or on living bodies), when they cause disease they are called pathogens.
I What is the first line of defense? nonspecific external barriers: prevent microbes from entering body (skin and mucous membranes)
I What is the second line of defense? nonspecific internal barriers: occurs when microbes breach NEB, broad internal responses to microbe infection (phagocytic WBC, inflammation, fever)
I What is the third line of defense? specific immune response: immune cells selectively destroy specific invading microbes and toxins, invaders are remembered
I Something foreign? antigens
I Proteins produced by B cells? antibodies
I Helps body remember and fight off quicker infections and diseases? vaccination
I What type of cells do AIDS viruses destroy? WBC helper Tcells

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
