Question
Answer
3 main functions of blood   transport, regulation, protection  
🗑
composition of blood (2)   plasma and formed elements (blood cells)  
🗑
3 main plasma proteins   albumin, fibrinogen, globulins  
🗑
albumin   maintains osmotic pressure of blood, most abundant of plasma proteins  
🗑
fibrinogen   plasma protein, clotting factors, hemostasis, mfg in liver  
🗑
globulins   plasma protein, main component of antibodies, protects us from infection, acts as carriers for molecules like fat  
🗑
neutrophils   WBC granulocyte, segmented and banded, most important role is phagocytosis, 10-12 hours lifespan  
🗑
basophil   WBC granulocyte, releases histamine, contains anticoagulants (heparin), 3-7 days lifespan  
🗑
eosinophil   WBC granulocyte, releases chemicals that destroy certain parasites, 12 hours-3 days lifespan  
🗑
B-lymphocytes   WBC agranulocyte, originates in bone marrow  
🗑
T-lymphocytes   WBC agranulocyte, originates in thymus gland  
🗑
monocyte   WBC agranulocyte, macrophage  
🗑
thrombocytes (platelets)   smallest blood cell, life span 5-9 days, produced in red bone marrow as fragments of megakaryocytes. Function - prevent blood loss, essential to hemostasis  
🗑
hemostasis   process that stops bleeding  
🗑
3 events of hemostasis   1. Blood vessel spasm. 2. Formation of a platelet plug. 3. Blood clotting/coagulation  
🗑
epicardium   outer layer of the heart, consists of squamous epithelial cells that overlie connective tissue  
🗑
pericardium   tough fibrous sac that surrounds/protects heart, made up of fibrous and serous pericardium  
🗑
myocardium   middle layer of the heart, consists of striated muscle fibers that cause heart contractions "myocardial infarction" affects this  
🗑
endocardium   innermost layer of heart, consists of endothelial tissue w/ small blood vessels and smooth muscle bundles  
🗑
chambers of the heart   right atrium - receives deoxygenated blood from superior and inferior vena cava. left atrium - gets oxygenated blood from 4 pulmonary veins (arteries)  
🗑
interventricular septum   separates the right and left ventricles  
🗑
function of heart valves   regulation, prevent backflow  
🗑
conductance vessels   arteries  
🗑
resistance vessels   arterioles  
🗑
the smallest and most numerous of all the blood vessels   capillaries  
🗑
blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood back TO the heart   veins  
🗑
innermost layer of a blood vessel   tunica intima  
🗑
thick middle layer of blood vessel   tunica media  
🗑
tough outer layer of blood vessel   tunica adventitia  
🗑
primary function of large arteries   to conduct blood AWAY FROM the heart to the arterioles  
🗑
exchange vessels   capillaries  
🗑
capacitance vessels   veins, carry deoxygenated blood back TO the heart  
🗑
veins contain _________ that direct flow of blood in one direction   1-way valves  
🗑
hepatic artery   carries oxygenated blood TO the liver  
🗑
hepatic portal veins   carries DEOXYGENATED BLOOD to liver for detoxification before returning to heart  
🗑
hepatic veins   carry DEOXYGENATED BLOOD from liver -> inferior vena cava  
🗑
great saphenous vein   longest vein in body, merges w/ femoral vein, usually harvested for CAVGs  
🗑
circle of Willis   where branches from internal carotid arteries and basilar artery form a circle of arteries at base of the brain, supplying the brain with blood  
🗑
aneurysms commonly occur where?   at the Circle of Willis  
🗑
right common carotid artery   arises from the brachiocephalic artery  
🗑
left common carotid artery   arises directly from aortic arch  
🗑
external carotid arteries   supply superficial areas of face/neck/scalp  
🗑
internal carotid arteries   extend to the front part to the base of the brain  
🗑
the blood flow to the stomach/spleen/pancreas/intestines/liver is referred to as...?   splanchnic circulation  
🗑
