Science

QuestionAnswerAlso...
What is the lub-dub of the heart? The valves(aortic/pulmonary and AV) closing, (AV, AP) The valves(aortic/pulmonary and AV) closing, (AV, AP)
Why is the cirulatory system a system? It has miltiple parts that need eachother to survive/work: the heart needs arteries to supply it's own muscle with oxygen and glucose. It has miltiple parts that need eachother yo survive/work: the heart needs arteries to supply it's own muscle with oxygen and glucose.
What is the overall function of the circulatory system? To supply cells with O2 and CHO, and to take away H2O and CO2 To supply cells with O2 and CHO, and to take away H2O and CO2
What is a pulse? The movement of blood in your arteries. A surge of blood moving through. The movement of blood in your arteries. A surge of blood moving through.
How can recovery rate be used to tell hoe fit your heart is? If your heart goes back to resting rate quickly it is healthy, if it takes a long time, your heart isn't as efficent. If your heart goes back to resting rate quickly it is healthy, if it takes a long time, your heart isn't as efficent.
How does being overweight affect pulse rate? It is highter because your body has to work harder to lug around extra weight. It is highter because your body has to work harder to lug around extra weight.
Structure of heart: 4 chambers can pump more blood can pump more blood
Structure of heart: Muscular can pump can pump
Structure of heart: Valves prevent backflow of blood prevent backflow of blood
Pathway of blood cell right artium-right ventricle-Pulmonary artery-artery-cappillaries-sm. Veins-veins-pulmonary vein-left artium-left ventricle-aorta-arteries-cappillaries-sm.veins-veins-vena cava-right atrium right artium-right ventricle-Pulmonary artery-artery-cappillaries-sm. Veins-veins-pulmonary vein-left artium-left ventricle-aorta-arteries-cappillaries-sm.veins-veins-vena cava-right atrium
Gas exchange in cappillaries cell walls are 1 cell, can happen quicker
Systolic blood preassure Blood preassure when heart is Beating Blood preassure when heart is Beating
Diastolic blood preassure Blood preassure when heart is Resting Blood preassure when heart is Resting
Arteries Thick walls-to keep blood in under preassure, arteries are close to the heart Thick walls-to keep blood in under preassure, arteries are close to the heart
Veins Valves- prevent backflow of blood, blood under low preassure, easily can flow backward if muscle isn't moving Valves- prevent backflow of blood, blood under low preassure, easily can flow backward if muscle isn't moving
Cappillaries thin walls- 1 cell, diffusion, faster, easer thin walls- 1 cell, diffusion, faster, easer
What is in blood red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platlets red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma, platlets
Red blood cells transport nutrients, hemoglobin helps hold nutrients shape: morse surface area to hold O2, no nuclues. Middle, most numerous
White blood cells can squeese therough wall, go to fight infections biggest, squishy, least numerous
platlets membrane, close cut Smallest, medium numerous
Plasma liquid, hleps blood move 55%
What an you do to main tain a healthy heart? Don't eat too much fat, excercise, don't smoke, reduce stress Don't eat too much fat, excercise, don't smoke, reduce stress
What are the components of plasma, and what are their jobs? Components: vitamins, glucose, antibodies, enzymes, hormones, protien, water Jobs; gluclose:food for cells, water: helps flow, protien:blod clot, antibodies: help fight germs
Shock opening of cappillaries/loss of blood stay calm and hydrated
Heart attack part of heart stops contracting Don't eat too much fat, excercise, don't smoke, reduce stress
Hypertension salt, niccotine, clogged arteries Don't eat too much fat, excercise, don't smoke, reduce stress
Arteriosclerosis Build up of colesteral in artery walls Don't eat too much fat, excercise
Stroke Bllod vessels in brain rupture Don't eat too much fat, excercise, don't smoke, reduce stress
Arrhythmia Pacemaker is off less caffine, don't smoke, low colestral, excercise, de stress
what does blood preassure tell us? It tells us how much preassure is being put on our atery walls. It tells us how much preassure is being put on our atery walls.
