Circulatory System
Fill in the blank: The cardiovascular and lymphatic system interact to help maintain ___________ and carry out life processes.
The cardiovascular and lymphatic system interact to help maintain homeostasis and carry out life processes.
About much blood does an adult have?
Around 5 liters
Bone marrow, a part of the lymphatic system is also included in what other system?
the skeletal system
The respiratory system's main job is to move fresh air into your body while removing waste gases. Also known as breathing!
Define what a haploid is.
Cells that contain half the usual number of chromosomes, or 23.
Both lymphatic and cardiovascular system both do what?
Protect the body from diseases, viruses, and pathogens
Explain what hypertension and heart attacks are
Hypertension - Abnormally high blood pressure.
Heart Attacks - When an artery that supplies blood to the heart becomes blocked and the heart muscle tissue does not get oxygen.
Name all the parts of the lymphatic system.
lymph nodes, lymph vessels, tonsils, bone marrow, thymus, spleen
Name at least 6 parts of the respiratory system.
Nose, mouth, throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), windpipe (trachea), large airways (bronchi), small airways (bronchioles), lungs, nasal cavity, sinuses
Prokaryotic cells do not go through mitosis. Why? Explain.
Prokaryotic cells do undergo mitosis because they do not have a nucleus, and mitosis is in which the nucleus divides.
What are both systems made of?
vessels
What are all the parts of the cardiovascular system?
Heart, blood, and blood vessels
True or False: Lymphoma is a type of cancer that often begins in the lymph node, causing a swelling in the node called a tumor.
True
Why does the the left lung have only two lobes, while the right lung has three?
Because the heart is sort of behind the left lung and it takes up space, so the left only has two lobes/sections.
What are chromatins made of?
Proteins and DNA
How does blood help maintain homeostasis in the body?
Blood distributes heat throughout the body. It helps to maintain homeostasis through the release or conservation of warmth.
What is the difference between arteries and veins? What are capillaries?
Veins carry oxygen-poor blood back to the heart, while arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away to the heart.
Capillaries deliver oxygen-rich blood to body cells and take the oxygen-poor blood away from body cells.
Where do some white blood cells mature?
In the lymphatic system
What is a big cause of respiratory diseases, besides hereditary?
CIGARETTE SMOKE
What is the surface area volume of a cube whose sides are 2 cm? >:)
3 cm2 : 1 cm3
How might a blockage of the lymph vessels affect the function of the cardiovascular system?
The fluid would either travel backwards or not move at all which would then cause swelling, tumors and lymphedema.
True or False: Blood in veins are under much more pressure than arterial blood.
False. Since veins have larger internal diameters than arteries, there is more pressure in the veins.
What are the main functions of the lymphatic system?
>The removal of excess fluids from body tissues.
>Absorption of fat acids and subsequent transport of fat to the circulatory system.
>Production of immune cells
Describe the process of breathing.
You inhale through your nose or mouth, air travels through your trachea, or windpipe. Then, after the trachea divides into the two bronchi, the bronchi divide into smaller branches called bronchioles and at the end, there are little air sacs at the end of the bronchioles called alveoli that are surrounded by capillaries and allow the oxygen to get in the bloodstream.
What are the three types of plant tissue?
transport, protective, and ground
