New cards

What are the 4 chambers on the heart

  1. Right atrium

  2. Right ventricle

  3. Left atrium

  4. Left ventricle

2
New cards

What blood does the right side pump to and where and what circuit

Deoxygenated blood to the lungs. Pulmonary circuit

3
New cards

What blood and where does the left side pump blood to. What circuit

Oxygenated blood to body. Systemic circuit

4
New cards

What type of chambers are the ventricles

Pumping chambers

5
New cards

What type of chambers is the Atria

Receiving chambers

6
New cards

What does the Chordae Tendinae do

Prevents from inverting, holds the valve in place

7
New cards

How does the heart pump blood to the lungs

  1. Right ventricle

  2. Semilunar valve (pulmonary)

  3. Pulmonary arteries

  4. Lungs become oxygenated in alveoli

  5. Pulmonary veins( only veins that carry oxygenated blood)

  6. Left atrium

  7. L AV valve (bicuspid)

8
New cards

How does the heart pump blood to the body

  1. L Ventricle

  2. Semilunar valve (aortic valve)

  3. Aorta

  4. Vena cava

  5. R. Atrium

  6. R. AV valve

9
New cards

How is the brain involved

From the medulla onlongata (Two ways)

  1. Sympathetic: fight or flight, hormone is released=adrenaline makes heart rate and blood pressure go up

  2. Parasympathetic: rest and digest= drops heart rate and blood pressure

10
New cards

What is blood made out of

Plasma, RBC (Erthrocyte), WBC (Leukocytes), platelets(thrombocytes)

11
New cards

what are the arteries

-endothelium tissue binding blood direct contact with smooth muscle around connective tissue

-transport blood away from heart

-thick elastic walls

12
New cards

What is the order of vessels

  1. Arteries

  2. Arterioles

  3. Capillaries

  4. Venules

  5. Veins

13
New cards

what are the arterioles

-to control blood flow to the capillaries

-super small in diameter (have pre capillary sphincters)

-can dilate or constrict to increase or decrease blood flow

14
New cards

About Capillary exchange (venue side)

-very concentrated blood pressure

-the pressure forces water back into blood

-water carries co2 and waste to kidneys or excretory organs to be removed

15
New cards

About venules

-drain blood towards heart

-thin

-join tg to form vein

16
New cards

About veins

-Transport blood to heart

-non-elastic

-near surface

-lower blood pressure and velocity

-has skeletal muscle to prevent blood to go wrong way (one way)

17
New cards

About the aorta

-biggest artery

-carries o2 rich blood to left ventricle

-has smaller arteries that branch off

18
New cards

About coronary arteries and veins

-1st branch off of aortic arch

-it’s blood vessels feed heart muscles

-more elastic

19
New cards

What is the Lymphatic system functions

-A system of vessels and modes and organs making sure you stay healthy

-to take up excessive tissue fluids

-transport fatty acids and glycerol (from intestines to subclavien vein)

-fights infections

-traps and removes cellular waste

20
New cards

What are red blood cells

-Erythrocytes

-packed with haemoglobin picks up O2 and transports

21
New cards

About white blood cells

-immune system: respond to foreign antigens

-Agranulocytes: Phagocytosis, antibodie production (monocyte, lymphocyte, macrophages)

-Granulocytes: produce histamines and cytokines, (causes swelling redness inflammation and blood vessels to dilate) (neutrophil, eosinophil, basophil

22
New cards

About platelets

-help to clots blood

-need Ca2+, vitamin K and several clotting factors

-Liver helps give proteins for blood

23
New cards

What is an antibody

A protein that recognizes ”non-self” antigens

24
New cards

What is plasma

-help osmotic balance of solute= isotonic to cell

-plasma proteins, help transport home hormones blood sugar

-has a cellular element

25
New cards

What is an open circulatory system

-sucks up, then releases no true blood

-Hemolymph in sinuses surrounding organs

26
New cards

What is a closed circulatory system

-circle and has blood

-fast bleeding when injured

-Has a small branch of vessels in each organ one connective system

27
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Porifera

None

28
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Cnideria

None

29
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Platyhelminthes

None

30
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Mollusca

Open or closed

31
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Annelida

Closed

32
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Nematoda

None

33
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Arthropoda

Open

34
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Echinodermata

-Open

-water vascular system

-tube feet that exchange gas and distribute minerals

35
New cards

What is the circulatory system of Chordata

Closed
