100
A tubular structure carrying blood through the tissues and organs; veins, arteries, or capillaries.

A condition marked by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood.
Anemia

Carries oxygenated blood cells to the body.
Systemic Circuit

The circulating fluid of the body.
Blood
200
Proteins of a matrix in fluid connective tissue.
Plasma
200
Any of the tubes forming part of the blood circulation system of the body, carrying oxygen-depleted blood toward the heart.
Veins
200
Blood clotting
Coagulation
200
Low level oxygen blood cells being carried back to the lungs.
Pulmonary Circuit
200
Contains a large nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm; fight against certain pathogens or toxins.
Lymphocytes
300
White blood cells that function as part of the body's defense mechanism.
Leukocytes
300
Any of the muscular-walled tubes forming part of the circulation system by which blood (mainly that which has been oxygenated) is conveyed from the heart to all parts of the body.
Arteries
300
The back-flow of blood.
Regurgitations
300
A band of smooth muscle that guard the entrance of each capillary.
Precapillary Sphincter
300
The innermost layer of the blood vessel.
Tunica Intima

Attacks foreign proteins and pathogens.
Antibodies
400
Any of the fine branching blood vessels that form a network between the arterioles and venules.

400
Disease in which the bone marrow and other blood-forming organs produce increased numbers of immature or abnormal leukocytes.
Leukemia
400
Small vessels within the blood vessels in which nutrients diffuse through.
Vasa Vasorum
400
Middle layer of the blood vessels.

500
Small-membrane enclosed packets of cytoplasm containing enzymes.
Platelets
500
Cross-connection between arteries; ensures a constant blood supply.
Arterial Anastomoses
500

Sickle-cell Anemia
500
The largest artery that curves across the superior surface of the heart.
