About That Blood!
Change from a liquid to a gel.
What is Coagulation?
Water soluble protein that can carry fat-soluble substances such as fatty acids and hormones.
Maintains osmotic balance.
What is albumin?
Excessive bleeding that can cause the loss of red blood cells; sometimes internal, such as from stomach ulcer
What is Hemorrhage?
These are branches of blood leaves that the blood goes through to help circulate the upper body with blood.
what is the aortic arch?
It has 2 layers that form the pericardial sac, a thin layer of fluid separates the two layers of tissue.
what is the pericardial sac?
Cell fragments that help form blood clots.
What is platelets?
Another group of plasma proteins that are weapons against infections.
What is globulins?
Disease state of someone who has less than the normal amount of hemoglobin or red blood cells, so tissues do not get the oxygen they need; anemia usually happens gradually; person feels tired and short of breath, looks pale, and tires quickly with exercise
What is Anemia?
The aortic arch also supplies the brain and the carotid artery is the main artery in the brain which supplies blood to the brain.
what is the carotid artery?
Slick tissue covering the heart, also lines the pericardial cavity.
What is the pericardium?
A red protein binds oxygen and must have iron atoms mounted inside it to function.
Changes the color of blood.
what is hemoglobin?
Fibrin producer”
Circulates in the blood until it is needed to form into Fibrin.
What is Fibrinogen?
A yellow color in the whites of the eyes and in the skin caused by too much bilirubin, liver problems, exposure to certain poisons, infections, or situations in which large numbers of red blood cells have been destroyed; can be a serious medical condition
what is Jaundice?
Blood travels through the renal artery to the kidneys, so basically the renal artery supplies blood to the kidneys
what is the renal artery?
Upper chambers, has a muscle that helps push the blood into the ventricle.
what is the Atrium?
Disease of spontaneous blood clots forming usually in the lower leg.
What is deep vein thrombosis?
Protein fibers that hold a blood clot in place.
What is fibrin?
When the odorless, colorless gas produced by burning fuel or by a house fire is breathed into the lungs, it passes through the alveoli into the blood and is absorbed by the red blood cells; it binds to the hemoglobin much more strongly than oxygen and will not let go, making the red blood cells useless; if a lot of red blood cells are ruined, the person’s life is in jeopardy; person suffers same symptoms as no oxygen – headache and nausea to confusion, unconsciousness, death
what is carbon monoxide poisoning?
This is where the blood returns to the heart after all of the branches come back together from being broken apart.
It is called inferior because it comes from below. Vena means veins
Cava means hollow.
what is the inferior vena cava?
Larger lower chamber, both ventricles contract at the same time.
what is the ventricle?
A person is genetically missing one of the protein factors needed in the coagulation cascade and fibrinogen will not turn into fibrin.
What is hemophilia?
The organization of pump (heart), pipes (blood vessels) and fluid (blood) that circulates to every part of the body. Cardio means heart – and vascular means vessels.
What is the cardiovascular system?
Yellow pigment transformed from the heme in hemoglobin, responsible for the yellow color in bruises and urine and the brown color in feces; antioxidant; some bilirubin in the blood is helpful but too much can cause brain damage or give someone jaundice
what is bilirubin?
Superior means its above the heart meaning the blood returns to the heart above it where the vein is placed.
The valve between the atrium and ventricles. It is a strong valve that is supported by muscles and tendons.
what is the atrioventricular valve?
