🗑
-Major organ of this system -Made of cardiac tissue -Causes blood to flow through the body by it’s pumping action. -Made of cardiac muscle -4 Chambers a) 2 upper and 2 lower -Blood flows in one direction a) From atrium to ventricle to a blood   The heart  
🗑
-Carry blood that has oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body. -Carry blood away from the heart.   Arteries  
🗑
Carry waste products from all parts back to the heart.   Veins  
🗑
-Very small vessels where oxygen and nutrients leave the blood and go into the cells and carbon dioxide and other waste products enter the blood from the cells.   Capillaries  
🗑
-Composed of: a) Red blood cells b) White blood cells c) Platelets d) Plasma   Blood  
🗑
-Atherosclerosis -Hyperextension -Heart Failure   Cardiovascular Disease  
🗑
-Erythrocytes -Carry oxygen throughout the body -Look like flattened basketballs -Carry hemoglobin- what gives blood the red color and delivers oxygen to all parts of the body.   Red Blood Cells  
🗑
-Leukocytes -1% of our blood -Bigger than red blood cells -NOT floating around when you are not healthy.   White Blood Cells  
🗑
-Thrombocytes -1% of our blood -Tiny round cells that makes sure you don’t bleed too much when you get cut.   Platelets  
🗑
-Yellowish liquid carrying important nutrients, hormones, and proteins. -Carries away cellular wastes -54% of our blood   Plasma  
🗑
-Right Atrium a) An atrium is an entrance room... it collects blood that is poor in oxygen and sends it to the right ventricle.   Right Atrium  
🗑
-Right ventricle a) This ventricle pumps the deoxygenated blood to the lungs so it can get oxygen through the alveoli.   Right Ventricle  
🗑
-Left atrium a) Collects oxygenated blood from the lungs and sends it to the right ventricle.   Left Atrium  
🗑
-Left ventricle a) The ventricle that has the thickest muscle wall so it can pump oxygenated blood to every part of the body.   Left Ventricle  
🗑
