🗑
Smallest blood vessel in the body   Capillary  
🗑
Liquid component of blood   Plasma  
🗑
Component of blood that produces clotting   Platelets  
🗑
Component of blood that helps fight infection   White blood cells  
🗑
Component of blood that carries oxygen   Red blood cells  
🗑
How many chambers are in the heart?   Four  
🗑
Name the four chambers   Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Left Atrium and Left Ventricle  
🗑
Part of heart that divides the chambers into two sides - right and left   Septum  
🗑
Which side of the heart pumps harder? Why?   Left side because it has to pump blood all over the body while right side only has to pump blood to lungs.  
🗑
Blood that is high in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide   Oxygenated Blood  
🗑
Blood that is high in carbon dioxide and low in oxygen   Deoxygenated Blood  
🗑
Name two places in heart where deoxygenated blood enters   Inferior Vena Cava and Superior Vena Cava  
🗑
Name two places where oxygenated blood leaves the heart   Descending Aorta and and Aorta  
🗑
What is the valve between the right atrium and right ventricle?   Tricuspid Valve  
🗑
What is the valve between the right ventricle and pulmonary artery?   Pulmonary Valve  
🗑
What is the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle?   Mitral Valve  
🗑
What is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta?   Aortic Valve  
🗑
Name the four blood types   A, B, AB, O  
🗑
Which component (part) of blood determines the blood type a person will have?   Red blood cells - They have the antigens(proteins)on them  
🗑
Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type A person?   A antigens only  
🗑
Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type B person?   B antigens only  
🗑
Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type AB person?   A and B antigens  
🗑
Which antigens are on the RBC's of a Type O person?   Neither A or B - No antigens present at all  
🗑
Which blood type can Type A safely receive?   A and O  
🗑
Which blood type can Type B safely receive?   B and O  
🗑
Which blood type can Type AB safely receive?   A, B, AB and O  
🗑
Which blood type can Type O safely receive?   O only  
🗑
Which blood types can Type A give to?   A and AB  
🗑
Which blood types can Type B give to?   B and AB  
🗑
Which blood types can Type AB give to?   Only AB  
🗑
Which blood types can Type O give to?   A, B, AB, O  
🗑
Which blood type is the universal donor?   Type O  
🗑
Which blood type is the universal recipient?   Type AB  
🗑
Deoxygenated blood enters which side of the heart?   Right side- it's just been to all parts of the body dropping off O2 and picking up CO2  
🗑
Oxygenated blood enters which side of the heart?   Left side - it's just been to the lungs dropping off CO2 and picking up new supply of O2.  
🗑
Where does the blood go after it leaves the right ventricle?   Out pulmonary valve to pulmonary artery to lungs to drop off CO2 and pick up O2  
🗑
Where does the blood go after it leaves the left ventricle?   Out aortic valve to aorta/descending aorta to all parts of the body to drop off O2 and pick up CO2  
🗑
The superior (and inferior) vena cava enters this chamber   Right Atrium  
🗑
The pulmonary vein enters this chamber   Left Atrium  
🗑
The blood vessel that brings deoxygenated blood to the heart from your legs and feet   Inferior Vena Cava  
🗑
This chamber pumps blood through the pulmonary valve   Right ventricle  
🗑
This chamber pumps blood through the aortic valve   Left ventricle  
🗑
This blood vessel takes the newly oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart   Pulmonary Vein  
🗑
This blood vessel takes the deoxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs   Pulmonary Artery  
🗑
Blood enters the pulmonary artery from this chamber?   Right Ventricle  
🗑
Color of oxygenated blood   Bright red  
🗑
Color of deoxygenated blood   Dark,rusty red  
🗑
Place where oxygenated blood enters the heart   Pulmonary Vein  
🗑
What type of vessel is the inferior vena cava?   A Vein  
🗑
What type of vessel is the descending aorta?   An Artery  
🗑
Three main parts of the circulatory system are   heart, blood vessels and blood  
🗑
