Blood & Blood vessel

QuestionAnswer
Eosinophil granular cell that contain antihistamine molecules to counteract allergies & inflammations
Eosinophil Multilobed (2-3); Headphone-shaped; Attack parasitic worm
Red Blood Cell (erthyrocyte) a-nucleated & carry O2
Monocyte largest WBC & called macrophages when leaving to bloodstream
Monocyte horse-shaped phagocyte
Basophil Most granulated Call other WBCs (release histamine) & act as a vasodilator
Basophil secrete heparin to dilute blood to enhance circulation giving more access to WBC
Neutrophil Multilobed (2-5) for Bacterial infection
Lymphocyte Heavy lifter of immune system
Platelets/ thrombocyte Blood clotters to prevent bleeding
Determining the hematocrit (Height of column of the RBC/Height of tot # of blood) * 100
Brachiocephalic artery 1st & largest branch of the aortic arch; Supplies right arm, head, & neck.
Left common carotid artery from the aortic branch Supply to the head and neck
Right common carotid artery from the brachiocephalic artery; Supply to the head and neck
right subclavian artery continue from the brachiocephalic trunk and supply blood to the arms, neck, and brain
left subclavian artery continue from aortic arch and Supply blood to the arms, neck, and brain
Femoral artery Large artery supplying oxygenated blood to the lower limb
Popliteal artery Supplies oxygen-rich blood to the knee, calf, and foot; divides into tibial arteries
Common iliac artery supply to the lateral forearm, wrist, and hand; Right Branch from brachial artery
Axillary artery Supply the upper limb; Continuation of subclavian artery
Brachial artery Supply to arm, elbow, and forearm; Continuation of the axillary artery
Radial artery supply to the lateral forearm, wrist, and hand; Right Branch from brachial artery
Ulnar artery Supply to medial forearm, wrist, and hand; Left Branch from brachial artery
Abdominal aorta Largest artery in the abdominal cavity; supplying lower body & major abdominal organ
Celiac trunk from the abdominal aorta; primary supply for the foregut
Mesenteric arteries Branch from abdominal aorta; supply to the intestines, from lower pancreas to rectum
Common hepatic artery Major & short branch from the celiac trunk; supplies liver, pylorus of the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, & gallbladder
Renal artery Supply kidneys
Splenic artery Supply spleen
Hepatic vein drain from the liver into the IVC
Hepatic portal drain from the GI tract, spleen, pancreas, & gallbladder directly to the liver
Splenic vein drains from the spleen, parts of the stomach, & pancreas
Renal vein drain from the liver into the IVC
Common iliac vein (left) Branch from IVC; Drain from pelvis & lower limbs
Brachiocephalic vein drain from the head, neck, & arms into the sup. vena cava
Brachial vein drain deep structures of the arm
Radial vein drain from the hand & forearm
Ulnar vein draining from the hand & medial forearm
Femoral vein Drain from upper leg
Popliteal vein Continue from femoral vein; Drain from knee and calf & lower leg
Great Saphenous vein Run from top of foot to the groin; Joins the femoral vein; Drains from the superficial leg tissues to the heart
Umbilical veins carry oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus
Umbilical arteries carry deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta
Foramen ovale opening between right and left atria which allows blood to bypass lungs
Ductus arteriosus connects pulmonary artery to aorta which diverts blood away from lungs (closes after birth and becomes ligamentum arteriosum)
Ductus venosus shunts blood from umbilical vein to inferior vena cava which bypasses liver (closes after birth and becomes ligamentum venosum)
Apical pulse apex's heartbeat per min
pulse deficit the difference between apical and radial pulse
Cardiac cycle ventricles filling, ventricles emptying, isovolumic relaxation
Ventricles Filling Atria & Ventricles are in diastole; AV valves open, SL valves close; Pressure difference (atria>ventricles) open AV valves; P wave occurs
Ventricular systole A atria in diastole - almost empty (Isovolumetric contraction phase); AV valves close ; Ventricles depolarizes & starting systole; pressure build but not enough to open SL valves
Ventricular systole B sustaining ventricle contraction (Ejection phase); + BP; Open SL valve; blood leave ventricle
Isovolumic relaxation (All valves closed) 2 independent & isolated ventricles sitting next to each other but the # of volume; SL valves close due to backflow; Ventricles are closed & isolated
