Honors Biology: Circulatory System

AB
right atriumchamber that collects oxygen-poor blood
left atriumchamber that collects oxygen-rich blood
right ventriclechamber that pumps oxygen-poor blood to lungs
left ventriclechamber that pumps oxygen-rich blood out to body, has thickest walls
inferior vena cavavein that brings blood back to heart from lower body
superior vena cavavein that brings blood back to heart from upper body
septumpart of heart that divides right and left sides
aortalargest artery in body
pulmonary arteriesvessels that carry oxygen poor blood to lungs from heart
pulmonary veinsvessels that carry oxygen rich blood back to heart from lungs
lungsorgans where blood exchanges CO2 for O2
arteriesblood vessels that carry blood away from heart
veinsblood vessels that carry blood back to heart
valves + musclesthese help blood travel in one direction through veins
high pressurethis keeps blood flowing through arteries
capillariestiniest blood vessels that come close to every cell
systolehighest pressure, when ventricles contract to pump blood
diastolelowest pressure, when ventricles relax and refill
pulsethis can be felt by pressing on an artery
red blood cellscontain hemoglobin which carries oxygen
white blood cellshelp fight disease and infection
plateletscell fragments that help blood clot
plasmaliquid part of blood
type Ablood type with A antigens, can give to A + AB
type Bblood type with B antigens, can give to B + AB
type ABuniversal recipient blood type
type Ouniversal donor blood type, has no antigens
Rh factorextra protein that is found in positive blood types
lymphatic systemreturns excess fluid in body tissues to bloodstream
SA nodethe pacemaker, sends out electrical signals to maintain heartbeat
pulmonary circulationpathway blood takes between lungs and heart
systemic circulationpathway blood takes between heart and other tissues
coronary circulationpathway of blood to tissues of heart itself
renal circulationpathway of blood to kidneys, which filter blood
hepatic portal circulationpathway of blood to liver, where excess nutrients are stored
