Circulatory
Anatomy
Anatomy
These structures in the circulatory system deliver oxygen rich blood to every cell in our bodies
What are arteries?
Your heart, blood vessels, and blood comprise your circulatory system. What are the five major functions of your circulatory system?
What are O2 transport, waste removal, protection from disease and infection, blood clotting, and the delivery of nutrients?
This component of our blood is considered our "warriors in battle" to help us fight infection and disease but also can be a sign of infection and disease as well.
What are white blood cells?
Leukocytes
These two structures are the main veins in our bodies and they allow blood to enter the right atrium from the upper body and the lower body.
What are the superior and inferior vena cava?
Name at least two waste substances which pass through our bodies via our circultory system.
What are CO2, urea, alcohol, and medications?
What is the etymology of the word atrium?
Where the blood floods the heart.
What are the "great halls?"
This type of pressure system flows through your veins?
High or Low
What is low?
Our circulatory system carries blood in an endless loop between the pulmonary circuit and the systemic circuit. This circuit delivers oxygen.
What is the systemic circuit?
This valve is responsible for oxygen rich blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta for systemid blood to reach our cells,
What is aortic valve?
Your heart is a pump which controls electrical impulses throughout our bodies. What is the average heart rate for our heart to beat each minute?
What is 60 to 100 beats per minute?
(60 to 100 bpm)
This structure in the heart regulates the flow of blood from the right atrium into the right ventricle
What is the tricuspid valve?
Describe the process by which oxygen is delivered by our blood to every cell in our bodies for energy use.
What is our red blood cells pick up oxygen in our lungs. which binds to the iron (hemoglobin) in our blood, which then delivers oxygen rich blood via our arteries and capillaries?
If you donated blood, it has a shelf life before it is no good. This component of your blood would be used in a transfusion would be analyzed to possibly be used if someone.s blood contain low amounts hemoglobin in their blood stream.
What are red blood cells?
This structure is the main artery from our heart and is the beginning of the systemic circuit and allows for oxygen rich blood to reach our cells.
What is the aorta?
These structures are thick, muscular, and deep and allow for "flooding" to occur when blood enters the heart with both oxygen poor and oxygen rich blood.
What are the right and left atria?
These structures take blood from the lungs back into the left atrium.
What are the pulmonary veins?
These two chambers allow for the bellies to flow both oxygen depleted blood and oxygen rich blood through the pulmonary valve and the aortic valve.
What are the right and left ventricles?
These structures take oxygen depleted blood from our right ventricle to our lungs.
What are the pulmonary arteries?
Blood floods this chambers with freshly oxygenated blood the lungs.
What is the left atrium?
This type of exchange occurs between arteries and veins and it carried out by capillaires.
What is gas exchange?
O2/CO2
This fossilized impression serves as a reminder of a mother's connection to their child. This structure is located in the heart and is an interatrial opening during fetal circulation to provide blood flow and oxygen to a child while intrauterine.
What is the fossa ovalis?
These structures allow for diffusion to occur (gas exchange of O2 and CO2) so that oxygen rich blood is delivered to our cells and waste removal occurs.
What are capillaries?
These structures in our blood allow for our blood to clot so we don't bleed out.
What are platelets?
The heart has this many chambers, as well as, this many valves?
What are four?
FINAL QUESTION:
On average, this percentage of blood volume moves through the arterial (systemic system) at any given moment.
What is 15%?
