Capillaries connect arteries and veins to the ______ of the body
fist
Your heart is about the size of your ______
T
T/F, Your heart is a muscle
cardiac muscle
What is the muscle of the heart?
Atriums
______ receive blood from veins
Ventricles
______ pump blood into the arteries
valves
______ in the heart prevent blood from flowing in the wrong direction
atriums, ventricles
blood from body >>> ______ >>> ______
atriums, ventricles
Blood from ______ >>> ______ >>> pump to body
Tricuspid
The __________ valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle
Bicuspid
The ______ valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle
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
