smooth muscle

What are arteries surrounded by?

dorsal aorta

carries blood from the heart to various regions of the body

pulmonary artery

connects the heart with your lungs to supply blood with oxygen

veins

carries deoxygenated blood and waste materials from the capillaries back to the heart

capillaries

______ are where materials move in/out of blood to/from the cells of your body

capillaries

smallest vessels in the body (one blood cell at a time)

red blood cells

______ ______ ______contain hemoglobin, which helps transport oxygen and carbon dioxide (erythrocytes)

white blood cells

______ ______ ______carry antibodies and act as the body's defense mechanism (leukocytes)

platelets

______ help blood form clots and close up injured blood vessels (thrombocytes)

plasma

______ carries the red and white blood cells, platelets, waste, and other various substances through the bloodstream

THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM KEEPS ALL OTHER SYSTEMS FUNCTIONAL (type "a" to get this right")

pulmonary, coronary, systemic

three parts of the circulatory system

lungs

What does pulmonary system control?

heart

What does coronary system control?

body

What does the systemic system go to?

Pulmonary

______ system circulates blood between the heart and lungs

Coronary

______ system provides nutrients to the heart itself

Systemic

system transports blood to and from the tissues of the body

poor, rich

pulmonary system pumps oxygen ______ blood to the lungs and oxygen ______ blood back

blood vessels

______ ______ deliver O2 and nutrients to tissues and remove CO2 and wastes

kidneys

The ______ filter out waste

liver

The ______ filters out sugar and stores it for later

heart attack

myocardial infarction =

cardiovascular disease

a disease of the heart and blood vessels

coronary artery disease

narrowing/hardening of the arteries that can lead to a heart attack or stroke

stroke

______ occurs in the brain

61 million

How many Americans have heart disease?

high blood pressure

hypertension

F

T/F, there are many warning signs for hypertension

sys/dia

measures the force the blood pushes on the arteries from the inside (heart pushing vs heart resting)

120/80

normal sys/dia

deep vein thrombosis

caused by being immobile for a long period of time

leg

Deep Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot develops deep inside a vein of a person's ______

feet

Heart is not strong enough to move blood from ______ to heart while standing

pulmonary embolism

clot that has flowed from leg to heart and into lungs

F

T/F, Sickle Cell Anemia is extremely contagious

sickle cell anemia

What causes a person to have crescent shaped, hard red blood cells which can clog capillaries and kill cells?

Hemophilia

The inability to form blood clots, therefore risking someone of bleeding out, is called ______

broken

bruise is ______ blood vessel on the inside of the body

angioplasty

A procedure for finding and possibly clearing clogged arteries using small tubes; 2 hour surgery, little recovery

bypass surgery

Take a vein from leg, inserting at heart to "go around" the clog; 4 hour surgery; long recovery

arteries

blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart

veins

blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart

capillaries

smallest blood vessels; materials are exchanged between the blood and the body's cells

ventricle

a chamber of the heart that receives blood from an atrium and pumps it to the arteries

atrium

heart chamber that receives blood returning to the heart from other parts of the body

valves

flap of tissue in the heart and large veins that prevents blood from flowing backwards.

red blood cells

Cells that are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide through the body.

white blood cells

A Blood cell that defends against infection by disease-causing bacteria and viruses

platelets

tiny, disk-shaped bodies in the blood, important in blood clot formation

plasma

liquid portion of blood made up of water, dissolved salts, proteins, and other substances

systolic blood pressure

pressure in the artery when the left ventricle is contracting to force the blood into the aorta and other arteries

diastolic blood pressure

pressure in the artery when the left ventricle is contracting to force the blood into the aorta and other arteries

EKG

measures the electrical activity of the heart
