cardiac cycle | the series of events that occur form teh beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next |
term used to describe the amount of tension, or stretch, in the ventricular muscle just before it contracts | preload |
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 Bone Cells | Can not divide |
Red Blood Cells | Delivers oxygen, removes carbon dioxide |
hemoglobin | over 1/3 of interior RBC is filled with it. |
hemoglobin | bound to each globin is an iron-containing molecule |
hemoglobin | 4 ribbon-like protein chains called globin |
Blood is what kind of tissue | Connective tissue |
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 , |
polycythemia | new RBCS are being made before Old ones can be Destroyed |
Anemia | insufficient supply of iron in the blood. |
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 |
Platelets (thrombocytes) | Second most formed element |
Platelets (thrombocytes) | play key role in stopping bleeding |
Platelets (thrombocytes) | live about 1 day |

Arteries Away | Arteries carry blood AWAY |
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 |
distributing arteries | |
veins | blood returns to heart in veins. They are very stretchy |
large Veins | thick thunica externa (vena cava. pulmonary valve) |
medium sized veins | formed by the convergence on venules on their route towards the heart |
medium sized veins | contain one-way valves. prevent backflow |
