Question
Answer
What are the 4 functions of the circulatory system   - Transports nutrients and wastes - Transports oxygen and carbon dioxide - Transports hormones - Distributes heat  
🗑
what are the 4 components of the circulatory system   - Blood vessels - Lymphatic vessels - Blood - Heart  
🗑
network of tubes through which the blood moves   blood vessels  
🗑
intertwine with the blood vessels and recover fluid that leeks out of the blood vessels   lymphatic vessels  
🗑
mixture of specialized cells and fluid   blood  
🗑
muscular pump   heart  
🗑
what is the pathway of the circulatory system   Heart -> arteries -> arterioles -> capillaries: gas and metabolic exchange -> venules -> veins -> heart  
🗑
the very thick walls have to be able to expand   arteries  
🗑
very thin so that exchanges can occur it is several miles long and they can stretch along the united states   capillaries  
🗑
largest vein that leads into the heart   vena cava  
🗑
collects 3 letters of fluid per day that leads out of the capillaries it drains back into the veins in the lower part of the neck   lymphatic system  
🗑
the non cellular portion, 90% water and 10% solute, is composed of metabolites and waste, salts and ions and proteins   blood plasma  
🗑
what are the 3 blood types   - RBC (erythrocytes) - WBC (leukocytes) - Platelets  
🗑
red blood cells, flat disks with a collapsed center   RBC (erythrocytes)  
🗑
about 4 months and is produced by stem cells in the bone   RBC (erythrocytes)  
🗑
decrease level of red blood cells   anemia  
🗑
white blood cells   WBC (leukocytes)  
🗑
•No hemoglobin •primary cells of the immune system •Leukemia   WBC (leukocytes)  
🗑
un-nucleated cells and key role is in blood clotting   Platelets  
🗑
- Blood clotting - Hemophilia   platelets  
🗑
lack of one of the looting proteins   hemophilia  
🗑
due to the type of antigen coating outside the red blood cells   blood types  
🗑
if Antigen on RBC are present   +  
🗑
if Antigen on RBC are not present   -  
🗑
1st baby: Rh – mom   /h + baby —> baby fine- blood only mixes at birth, and during that short span, that the baby is fine  
🗑
2nd baby: mom treated   baby fine- mom has been developing more antibodies after the first baby, therefore a problem could occur, so they give a shot to the mom after the birth of the first child, to kill the rh+ antigens so no antibodies a pre developed, still are monitored  
🗑
right side of the heart   pulmonary circulation loop  
🗑
Pumps oxygen poor blood through pulmonary arteries to lungs —> gas exchange —> back to left side of heart   pulmonary circulation loop  
🗑
left side of the heart   systemic circulation loop  
🗑
Pumps oxygen rich blood to tissues —> deoxygenated blood returns to right side by veins   systemic circulation loop  
🗑
measures blood pressure   Sphygmomanometer  
🗑
Diastolic pressure   low pressure – relaxation of heart  
🗑
Systolic pressure   high pressure – contraction of heart  
🗑
ex) 120/80   Systolic/diastolic  
🗑
100 – 130   systolic  
🗑
70-90   diastolic  
🗑
high blood pressure, if in-treated can lead to heart damage, stroke, and kidney failure   Hypertension  
🗑
measures the tiny electrical impulses produced by the heart muscles when it contracts   Electrocardiogram  
🗑
people affected by some form of cardiovascular disease   16% or approx. 42 million affected  
🗑
when an area of a heart muscle does not receive enough blood (oxygen) and it results in the death of cardiac muscle cells   heart attack  
🗑
•Can be caused by a Blood clot •Can also occur if arteries become blocked by deposits of Fatty materials in the inner walls of the heart   heart attack  
🗑
build up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the arteries and blood flow becomes restricted   Atherosclerosis  
🗑
hardening of the arteries occurs, when calcium is deposited in the fatty build up, therefore it can't expand so the heart has to work harder   Arteriosclerosis  
🗑
3 things in the Respiratory system   Respiratory passages, lungs and thoracic cavity  
🗑
what is the pathway of the respiratory system   Breathe in —> nose filters dust/ epithelial tissue lining nasal cavity moistens and warms air —> pharynx —> larynx —> trachea —> bronchi —> lungs  
🗑
suspended in the thoracic cavity, bounded on the sides by the ribs and the diaphragm from underneath   lungs  
🗑
each lung is subdivided into three hundred million of chambers clustered like grapes   alveoli  
🗑
what is the process of breathing (inhalation)   Air moves into lungs when air pressure inside them is decreased by expanding walls of chest cavity —> diaphragm contracts and moves downward and rib cage moves upward and outward —> volume of chest cavity increases and air rushes in  
🗑
what is the process of breathing (exhalation)   diaphragm and ribs return to original position —> pressure by ribs and diaphragm forces air of the lungs  
🗑
the bronchioles of the lungs become restricted due to their sensitivity to certain stimuli in the air making it difficult to exhale   asthma  
🗑
the alveoli in the lungs loose their elasticity making it difficult for the alveoli to release their air during exhalation leading to a great reduction in the efficiency of gas exchange   Emphysema  
🗑
abnormal cell growth, less than 10% of victims live more than five years after diagnosis   lung cancer  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
