Chapter 47 Circulatory System

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
circulatory systems   transport necessary materials to all the cels of an animal's body and transport waste products away from the cells so they can be released into the environment  
🗑
simple circulatory system   organisms with gastrovascular cavity. surrounding water acts as a circulatory system  
🗑
gastrovascular cavity   body cavity with a single opening to the outside that functions as both mouth and anus  
🗑
true circulatory systems contain   blood/hemolymph, vessels and heart  
🗑
open circulatory system   one or more hearts that pump fluid through vessels that open into the animal's body cavity called the hemocoel  
🗑
in open circulatory system nutrients and waste are exchanged by   diffusion between the hemolymph and body cells and hemolymph eventually returns to the heart  
🗑
hemolymph   mixed fluid. part of open circulatory system  
🗑
closed circulatory system   blood and interstitial fluid are separated and differ in their components and chemical composition  
🗑
Blood   watery solution containing solutes to be transported throughout the body. Pumped by heart  
🗑
single circulation   blood pumped from heart to lungs to tissues back to heart  
🗑
double circulation   blood pumped from heart to the lungs back to heart and the pumped to tissues then back to the heart  
🗑
Single circulation heart has   one atrium and one ventricle  
🗑
double circulation heart has   two atria and two ventricles  
🗑
arteries carry blood   away from the heart  
🗑
veins carry blood   towards the heart  
🗑
intermediate circulation on land   blood pumped from heart to lungs and less skin  
🗑
intermediate circulation on water   blood pumped from heart to skin. Skips lungs  
🗑
pulmonary circulation   delivers oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium then to left ventricle  
🗑
systemic circulation   delivers deoxygenated blood from the tissues to the right atrium then right ventricle  
🗑
4 components of blood   plasma, leukocytes, erythrocytes and thrombocytes/platelets  
🗑
plasma   water and dissolved organic and inorganic nutrients. base. transports, keeps body's pH, maintains fluid balance  
🗑
leukocytes   white blood cells  
🗑
erythrocytes   red blood cells  
🗑
hematocrit   volumes of blood that is composed of red blood cells  
🗑
hemoglobin   in cytosol of red blood cells.  
🗑
each hemoglobin carries ___ oxygens   4  
🗑
anemia   lower than normal amounts of hemoglobin  
🗑
platelets   cell fragments that lack a nucleus  
🗑
thrombocytes   intact cells  
🗑
platelets and thrombocytes   play crucial role in the formation of blood clots  
🗑
first step of blood clotting   injury  
🗑
second step of blood clotting   platelets secrete substance that causes them to lump together and bind to collagen fibers in the surrounding connective tissue at wound site. Forms a plug  
🗑
third step of blood clotting   fibrin forms a meshwork that traps red blood cells and platelets forming a clot that seals the wound  
🗑
system veins   return blood from the body  
🗑
pulmonary veins   return blood from lungs  
🗑
AV valves   between atria and ventricles. Controls movement of blood between them  
🗑
each ventricle empties into the   aorta  
🗑
pulmonary trunk   divides into the pulmonary arteries that lead to left and right lungs  
🗑
semilunar valves   between each ventricle and the artery. One way valves  
🗑
neurogenic heart   will not beat unless it receives regular electrical impulses from nervous system  
🗑
myogenic heart   signaling mechanism that initiates contraction resides within cardiac muscle itself  
🗑
myocyte   has membrane extensions that form interlocking networks with other myocytes  
🗑
intercalated disks   within networks of myocytes. Gap junctions  
🗑
SA node   collection of modified cardiac cells that have an inherently unstable resting membrane potential  
🗑
atrial contraction pumps blood   through the AV valves into the ventricles  
🗑
ventricular   action potentials in SA node reach Av node  
🗑
AV node   located near junction of the atria and ventricles and conducts electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles  
🗑
cardiac cycle   contraction and relaxation events that produce a single heartbeat  
🗑
diastole   first phase. Ventricles are relaxed and fill with blood coming from the aorta through open AV valves. Atria contract and more blood fills ventricle  
🗑
systole   second phase. ventricles contract and eject the blood through the open semilunar valves  
🗑
blood pressure   force exerted by blood on the walls of blood vessels.  
🗑
Blood pressure is highest in the arteries during   systole  
🗑
blood pressure is lowest in the arteries during   diastole  
🗑
EKG   medical test used to investigate the function of the heart  
🗑
Order of blood flow- arteris   heart, large arteries, small arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, small veins, large veins, heart.  
🗑
artery walls are   thick  
🗑
arteries distribute blood leaving heart to all of the   organs and tissues of an animal's body  
🗑
Resistance   the tendency of blood vessels to slow down the flow of blood through their lumens  
🗑
Resistance depends on   vessel radius, length and blood viscosity  
🗑
vasodilation   increase in blood vessel radius  
🗑
vasoconstriction   decrease in blood vessel radius  
🗑
cardiac output   amount of blood the heart pumps per unit of time, usually expressed in units of liters per minute  
🗑
cardiac output depends on   size of heart, how often it beats per minute, and how much blood it ejects with each beat  
🗑
stroke volume   amount of blood ejected with each beat  
🗑
binding of epinephrine to receptors on heart   increases heart rate.  
🗑
epinephrine released during   exercise  
🗑
cardiovascular disease   disease of heart and blood vessels  
🗑
hypertension   high blood pressure  
🗑
coronary artery disease   when plaque forms in the coronary vessels. Symptom- angina pectoris (chest pain)  
🗑
Myocardial infarction   heart attack  
🗑
Baroreceptors   stretch receptors  
🗑
Oder of blood flow   body, superior/inferior vena cava, right atrium AV valves right ventricle, SV valve, pulmonary arteries, lungs, left atrium, AV valve, left ventricle, aorta, body.  
🗑


   

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.
