| vessels that carry blood away form the heart are | arteries |
| reason blood constantly circulates is | pressure gradients |
| Plasma | Clear extracellular matrix of blood |
| Formed Elements | Cell and Cell Fragments Make up 45% of blood. include Erythrocytes (RBC) and platelets. |
| Red Bone Marrow: | produce all types of blood cells. |

| red blood cells | blood and blood forming tissue |
| Life Cycle of a RBC #1 | damaged rbc removed from circulation |
| Life cycle of a RBC #1 | oxygen levels fall |
| Life cycle of a RBC #2 | kidneys detect declining levels of oxygen |
| Life cycle of a RBC #2 | kidneys secrete EPO |
| EPO | Erythtopoletin |
| Life cycle of a RBC #3 | EPO stimulates red Bone Marrow to begin creating new Erythrocytes |
| Life cycle of a RBC #4 | a reticulocyte is released |
| reticulocyte | immature form of an erythrocyte |
| Life cycle of a RBC #5 | after 1-2 days the reticulocyte becomes a mature erythrocyte |
| Life cycle of a RBC #6 | number of RBC increases, oxygen levels rise |
| Life cycle of a RBC #6 | EPO is produced and RBC production declines |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #1 | liver and spleen ingest/destroy old RBCS |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #2 | hemoglobin becomes hemo and globin |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #3 | globin is broken down into Amino Acids |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #4 | Amino Acids= used for energy=create new proteins |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #5 | hemo = iron bilirubin |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #6 | iron is transported to bone marrow to make new hemoglobin |
| breakdown of Red blood Cells #7 | bilirubin becomes bile in intestines |
| hemolysis | excessive destruction of RBCS |
| jaundice | body canot handle excess Bilirubin, so it pools in the tissue turning it a yellow tint , |

| White Blood Cells | called Leukocytes. crucial to life. |
| White Blood Cells | fewest of formed elements. 5 types of White Blood Cells |
| White Blood Cells | all leukocytes have a nucleus |

| Capillaries Connect | Capillaries serve to Connect arteries and veins |
| arterioles | resist the flow of blood. |
| conducting arteries | expand as blood surges into them and recoil when ventricles relax |
| arteries | carry blood away from the heart, when the heart pumps it forces blood into the arteries |
