These are the 3 basic groups of blood vessels
What are Veins, Arteries, and Capillaries
The main job of lungs is to do this
To supply your blood with oxygen and remove CO2
What is Aorta
White blood cells help your blood to clot
False, WBC help fight off infection/pathogens
These are the blood vessels that carry blood back to the heart
What are Veins
This is the first chamber of the heart that deoxygenated blood is brought to
What is the Right Atrium
When you exhale air, does the air pass through the trachea or the pharynx first?
Exhaled air travels from the lungs, to the trachea, up the larynx, to the pharynx, and out the mouth/nose
3.
What is Right Atrium
If a person has damaged platelets, this person could potentially die from a small cut
True, platelets aid in the blood clotting process
These are the blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart
What are Arteries
This makes up the majority of the blood
What is plasma
This helps to trap particles that we breath in with oxygen so that the particles don't travel to the lungs
What is mucus
6.
What is Left Ventricle
Even plants have circulatory systems, the plants have a tube called xylem to carry food and nutrients
False, while plants do have circulatory systems, the tube xylem carries water, not food and nutrients
The muscle that helps us pull in and push out air to our lungs
What is the Diaphragm
This is where blood cells are produced
What is bone marrow
You are given a sample from a person's lungs. Looking at it under the microscope, you see many little round sacs that are covered in capillaries. What structures are you looking at?
What are alveoli, this is where gas exchange takes place, the oxygen from the lungs to the blood and the CO2 in the blood travels to the lungs to be exhaled.
8. Is blood oxygenated here and where is it going?
8 is the pulmonary veins and it is carrying blood from the lungs to the heart before it is sent throughout the body so yes, blood is oxygenated
All arteries carry oxygenated blood
False, most often they do carry oxygenated blood except when they carry blood from the heart to the lungs (those would carry deoxygenated blood)
These are tiny, thin walled blood vessels that allow the exchange of gases and nutrients between the blood and cells and are located between arteries and veins
What are capillaries
This type of blood cell contains hemoglobin
What is red blood cells
Imagine you are listening to a man and a woman sing. The man is singing loudly with a very low pitch while the woman is singing a soft but high pitch. Which singer is passing more air over his/her vocal cords?
What is the man, because volume is controlled by the amount of air
10. Is the blood oxygenated and where is it going?
10 is the pulmonary artery, taking deoxygenated blood to the lungs.
The path of blood starting at the Vena Cava: Right Atrium > Right Ventricle > Pulmonary Artery > Lungs > Pulmonary Veins > Left Atrium > Left Ventricle > Aorta > Body > Back to the Vena Cava (restarts all over again)
True! This all occurs in about a minute!
These tubes transport water up from the roots to the rest of the plant
What are Xylem
