50%
The force of blood on the walls of arteries is called what?
Blood pressure
What chamber of the heart pumps blood to the rest of the body?

What are the smallest vessels in the body that connect veins (or venules) to arterties (or arterioles)?
Capillaries
How many chambers are in the heart
Four
How would you describe what the pulse is? (think how is it different than BP?)
Pulse is your heart rate, number of heart beats per min
What chamber of the heart pumps to the pulmonary valve and to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries?
Right ventricle
What is the name of the protein in the blood that carries oxygen? (We talked a lot abt it in chem too)
Hemoglobin
Normal range of heart rate in an adult?
60 - 100 (there can be extremes too, as we discussed w/ Olympians)
The chamber of the heart receiving deoxygenated blood from the superior or inferior vena cava

What is the difference between arteries and veins?

What is the universal donor blood type? Universal acceptor?
Type O; Type AB
A white blood cell that protects against infection and disease

What chamber pumps oxygenated blood to the organs of the body
