Question
Answer
show absorption and metabolizing of oxygen and nutrients, secretion of their metabolic waste  
🗑
how oxygen and nutrients are supplied to cells   show
🗑
necessity for proper oxygen and nutrient supply, as well as waste transit   show
🗑
the 3 components of the cardiovascular system   show
🗑
show connective  
🗑
show blood and lymph  
🗑
the heart's role in the cardiovascular system   show
🗑
show 8%  
🗑
show liquid plasma and a solid component of formed elements  
🗑
plasma is composed of ...   show
🗑
proteins found in plasma   show
🗑
'other solutes' found in plasma   show
🗑
the 'formed elements' of whole blood are composed of ....   show
🗑
show transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body, gives whole blood it's red colour  
🗑
show immunity, protection against infections  
🗑
show initiation and stimulation of coagulation (to stop hemorrhaging)  
🗑
functions of blood   show
🗑
show via a closed circuit network of blood vessels  
🗑
show arteries, veins, capillaries  
🗑
carry blood away from the heart, towards tissues   show
🗑
carry blood towards the heart, from the cells/tissues   show
🗑
show capillaries  
🗑
show epithelial (tunica interna), endothelium  
🗑
the 3 layers (tunics) of veins and arteries   show
🗑
show tunica externa  
🗑
show tunica media  
🗑
show tunica interna (endothelium)  
🗑
smooth muscle cell contraction (narrowing of the lumen), increases blood pressure and reduces blood volume   show
🗑
smooth muscle cell relaxation,(increase of the diameter of the lumen), decreases blood pressure and increases blood volume   show
🗑
three types of arteries   show
🗑
found leaving the heart, and rapidly dividing, have a high volume of elastic fibers to accommodate high volume of blood, the aorta is the largest   show
🗑
originate from the branching of large arteries, abundance of smooth muscle cells (for vasodilatation and vasoconstriction)   show
🗑
very small arteries delivering blood to capillaries   show
🗑
two types of veins   show
🗑
show venules  
🗑
formed by the fusion of venules, return blood to the heart   show
🗑
differences between veins and arteries   show
🗑
show venous return  
🗑
3 mechanisms for venous return   show
🗑
show prevents 'backflow' of blood  
🗑
show muscular pump  
🗑
modification of abdominal and thoracic internal pressure during inhalation/exhalation, pulling blood upwards (vacuum)   show
🗑
show in the mediastinum, on the diaphram, slightly to the left, between the lungs  
🗑
show pericardium  
🗑
show two layers of connective tissue separated by a thin cavity filled with pericardial fluid, and a thin single layer wrapping it all  
🗑
show epicardium, myocardium, endocardium  
🗑
show epicardium  
🗑
cardiac muscle tissue, middle layer of tissues surrounding walls of the heart   show
🗑
thin layer of epithelial tissue covering the inside of the heart   show
🗑
the upper chambers of the heart   show
🗑
the lower chambers of the heart   show
🗑
blood enters the heart through ________, and leaves through the ___________ via _________   show
🗑

🗑
define pulmonary circulation   show
🗑
circuit responsible for excreting CO2 and filling up with oxygen before returning to the heart   show
🗑
show pulmonary circulation  
🗑
the hearts blood supply and vessel network   show
🗑
group of specialized cells stimulating atrial and ventricular contractions   show
🗑
the contraction phase in cardiac chambers   show
🗑
the relaxation phase in cardiac chambers   show
