A | B |
System that moves blood through the body | Circulatory System |
System that circulates lymph through the body | Lymphatic System |
Job of the Cardiovascular System | providesnnutrients and oxygen, carries away wastes, and helps fight disease |
Where the heart pumps blood to | Your body's cells |
Where the heart carries oxygen from and to | From lungs to cells |
How the heart absorbs nutrients | from food and delivering nutrients back to the body |
Where the heart carries carbon dixide from and to | from your cells back to the lungs to be exhaled |
Where the heart deliveres other waste products to | to the kidneys for removal from the body |
What the heart helps | White blood cells fight disease by attacking infectious organisms |
What the Cardiovascular System consists of | Heaat, blood, and blood vessels |
the wall of tissue that separates the four chambers of the heart | Septum |
The top two chambers of the heart | Atria |
The bottom two chambers of the heart | Ventricles |
What allow blood to flow through the chambers | Valves betwwen the atria and ventricles |
The process by which blood moves between the heart and lungs | Pulmonary Circulation |
The fluid that delivers oxygen, hormones, and nutrients to the cells and carries away wastes | Blood |
Four components of blood | Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets |
Percent of plasma and total blood | 55 percent |
percent of red blood cells in blood | 40 percet |
Mainly water, also contains nutrients, proteins, salts, hormones | Plasma |
The oxygen-carrying protein in blood | Hemoglobin |
Contains hemoglobin | Red blood cells |
Three purposes of white blood cells | Surrounding and ingesting the organisms that cause diseases, forming antibodies, fighting allergies |
What collect at the tear and form a clot that blocks the flow when the wall of the vessel tears | Platelets |
Four types of blood | A(antigens), B(antigens), AB(antigens), O(no antigens) |
Why people must recieve blood from same type or O | Antigens |
Vessels that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart | Arteries |
Small vessels that carry blood from artrioles to small vessels called ventrioles, which empty into veins | Capillaries |
Blood vessels that return blood to the heart | Veins |
Helps fight infection and provides immunity to disease | Lymphatic System |
The clear fluid that fills the spaces around the bodies cells | Lymph |
What lymph contains | Water, proteins, fats, and lymphocytes that protect the body against pathogens |
A microorganism that causes disease | Pathogen |
A measure of the amount of force that the clood moves in the walls of vessels | Blood Pressure |
The maximum pressure of heartbeats | Systolic Pressure |
The pressure when the ventricles are relaxed | Diastolic Pressure |
Healthy blood pressure below this | 120/80 |
High blood pressure | 140/90 |
