BIO104 Cardiovasc
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Flow of blood | BLUE - vena cava > right atrium > tricuspid valve > right ventricle > pulmonary valve > pulmonary arteries > LUNGS RED - pulmonary valve > left atrium > bicuspid valve > left ventricle > aortic valve > aorta |
| Function of blood | - transports vital substances - maintains fluid levels with help of lymphatic system - distributes heat |
| Main parts of blood | - plasma, liquid, make up 55% - erythrocytes (red blood cells), make up 45% - leukocytes (white blood cells), make up less than 1% |
| red blood cell counts | - 4-6 million per microliter for men - 4-5 million per microliter for women |
| erythropoiesis | - the process of making red blood cells, they're produced in red bone marrow in spongy bone |
| hematopoiesis | - hematopoietic stem cells - creation of both red and white blood cells - lymphoid stem cells - make lymphocytes - myeloid stem cells - make white blood cells |
| anemia | low red blood cell count -> low iron, low oxygen |
| sickle cell anemia | increase in clotting, low oxygen |
| removal of damaged RBC | - phagocytes and macrophages engulf them, lysosomes break them down, hemoglobin from decomposed cells converted to heme and globin heme - connected to bilirubin globin - converted to proteins |
| RBC cycle of life | slide 16 on powerpoint, will be drag and drop on test |
| white blood cells | defense mechanism |
| WBC diapedesis | movement through a capillary wall |
| types of WBC | granulocytes - have granular cytoplasm ---neutrophils ---eosinophils ---basophils agranularcytes - no grain in cytoplasm ---monocytes ---lymphocytes |
| WBC counts | 3,000-10,000 per microliter |
| platelets (thrombocytes) | repairs damage to blood vessels |
| plasma | 92% water, transplats nutrients and gasses |
| hemostasis | how you stop bleeding, platelet plug, positive feedback loop |
| two veins/arteries | carotid, coronary |
| major artery of neck | occipital |
| major artery of brain | middle cerebral |
| major vessels of the arterial system | axillary, illiac, celiac |
| major arteries of brain, head, and neck | verterbral |
| major veins of upper limb and shoulder | radial, ulnar, brachial, |
| what percent of blood is in veins | 75% |
| pulmonary veins go in what direction | horizontal |
| epicardium | thin outer layer of heart |
| myocardium | cardiac muscle |
| endocardium | inside lining of chambers |
