| Cardiovascular System | blood & Heart & Blood vessels |
| Cardiovascular System Functions | Transport & Regulation & Protection |
| Blood | 45% cells & 55% plasma |
| Red blood cells | Transports carbon dioxide and oxygen |
| White blood cells | Immune function |
| Platelets | Clotting function |
| Hemopoiesis | blood formation |
| Erythropoiesis | RBC formation |
| Erythrocytes | red blood cells |
| Leucocytes | white blood cells |
| Lymphocytes | sub type of white blood cells |
| Thrombocytes | platelets |
| Hemoglobin | found in RBC & binds gases |
| Bone Marrow | where all cells are formed |
| Hematocrit | measure of the amount of red blood cells |
| Anemia | reduced capacity to carry oxygen |
| Granulocytes | Neutrophils & Basophils &eosinophils |
| Agranulocytes | Lymphocytes &monocytes |
| Monocytes | become macrophages when activated |
| Lymphocytes | T cells & B cells & natural killer cells |
| Leukopenia | too few white blood cells |
| Leukemia | cancer of white blood cells |
| Platelets | Formed from Megakaryocytes |
| Coagulation | blood clotting |
| Hemostasis | to stop bleeding |
| Blood Types | Determined by presence of antigens on surface of cells |
| Antigen | anything that cause antibodies to be produced |
| Blood Type A | has A antigens and makes anti-B antibodies |
| Blood Type B | has B antigens and makes anti-A antibodies |
| Blood Type AB | has A and B antigens and makes no antibodies against A or B |
| Blood Type O | has no A or B antigens and makes anti-B and anti- A antibodies |
| Blood type Rh+ | has Rh antigens |
| Blood type Rh- | has no Rh antigens and makes anti-PH antibodies |
| Erythroblastosis fetalis | can develop when an Rh- woman is carrying Rh+ fetus |
| Arteries | Carries blood away from heart |
| Veins | Carries blood toward the heart & contain valves |
| Capillaries | Where exchange of gases and nutrients takes place |
| myocardium | Muscle layer of the heart |
| Atrium | Thin walled chamber of the heart that receives blood from a vein |
| Ventricle | Thick walled chamber of the heart which receives blood from the atrium |
| Vena cava | largest vein in the body |
| Aorta | largest artery in the body |
| Foramen Ovale | Hole between RT atrium and Lt atrium |
| Ductus Arteriosus | Connect pulmonary artery to aorta |
