| How many layers does each vessel have? Which layer is the muscle layer? How is it different in veins and arteries? | Arteries have 3 layers and the muscle is on the middle layer. Veins have 3 layers and the middle layer. Capillaries are where substances are exchanged between blood and cells. Arteries have thick connective tissue and veins have thin tissue. |
| What causes blood pressure? Where is it highest? | the contraction of the ventricles, right as it leaves the heart (arteries close to heart) |

| Describe the job of the components of blood. Also describe what would happen if you did not have that component. | Plasma carries needed materials and removes waste. Your body would become loaded with waste. Red blood cells take oxygen to the body and if you didn't have them you're body would not get/use the oxygen. White blood cells fight disease if you did not have |
| Which component is 90% water? | plasma |
| What determines your blood type? | the marker molecules on your red blood cells |
| The circulatory system has how many loops? | two loops |
| What instrument is used to measure blood pressure? | sphygmomanometer |
| List which blood type each of the following could safely receive in a transfusion: A, B, AB, O | A can receive A and O. B can receive B and O. AB can receive A, B, AB, and O. O can receive O. |

| pacemaker | a group of heart muscle cells that make the heart contract steadily |
| artery | carries blood away from heart |
| capillary | where substances are exchanged between blood and cells |
| vein | carry blood back to the heart |
| aorta | the largest artery; comes here after the left ventricle |
| coronary artery | carry blood to the heart |
| pulse | the alternating expansion and relaxation of the artery wall |
| diffusion | the process by which molecules move from an area of higher concentration to lower |
