Blood Vessels
VESSELS THAT CARRY BLOOD AWAY FROM THE HEART.
Arteries
CHAMBERS THAT RECEIVES BLOOD ENTERING THE HEART
Atrium
THESE CELLS HELP PROTECT THE BODY AGAINST DISEASE AND FOREIGN SUBSTANCES
White blood cells
MUSCULAR ORGAN THAT PUMPS BLOOD THROUGHOUT THE BODY
Heart
ARTERIES HARDEN, REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD THAT CAN FLOW THROUGH THEM
Arteriosclerosis
VESSELS THAT CARRY BLOOD TO THE HEART
Veins
CHAMBER THAT PUMPS BLOOD FROM THE HEART TO THE REST OF THE BODY
Ventricles
CELLS THAT CARRY OXYGEN FROM THE LUNGS TO THE BODY
Red blood cells
BLOOD CLASSIFICATION BASED ON WHETHER CERTAIN PROTEINS ARE PRESENT ON THE SURFACE OF THE RED BLOOD CELLS (A, B, AB, O)
Blood groups/types
HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Hypertension
LARGEST ARTERY
Aorta
THESE KEEP BLOOD FROM MOVING BACK INTO THE ATRIA WHEN THE VENTRICLES CONTRACT
Valves
LIQUID PART OF THE BLOOD
Plasma
GROUP OF ORGANS AND TISSUES THAT MOVE ESSENTIAL SUPPLIES TO BODY CELLS AND REMOVE THEIR WASTE PRODUCTS
Cardiovascular or circulatory system
ABNORMALLY LOW LEVEL OF HEMOGLOBIN or RBC
Anemia
ARTERIES BRANCH OFF TO FORM THESE BEFORE BRANCHING INTO CAPILLARIES
Arterioles
BLOOD ENTERS THE RIGHT ATRIUM THROUGH TWO OF THESE
Vena cava
PIECES OF CELLS THAT START THE PROCESS OF BLOOD CLOTTING
Platelets
This is the strongest part of the heart.
Left ventricle
OCCURS WHEN BLOOD FLOW TO A PART OF THE HEART MUSCLE IS BLOCKED
Heart attack
The tiny blood vessels that connect the veins and arteries to body cells.
Capillaries
TOTAL NUMBER OF CHAMBERS IN THE HEART
4
A COMPLEX TISSUE THAT CONSISTS OF RED BLOOD CELLS, WHITE BLOOD CELLS, AND PLATELETS SUSPENDED IN WATER SOLUTION CALLED PLASMA
Blood
This makes up 55% of your blood volume
Plasma
TYPE OF CANCER IN WHICH LARGE AMOUNTS OF ABNORMAL WHITE BLOOD CELLS ARE PRODUCED THAT INTERFERES WITH THE PRODUCTION OF OTHER BLOOD CELLS
