Blood
Blood is made up of 4 components:
RBC, WBC, Platelet, Plasma
Veins (systemic system) direction of blood flow
Towards the heart
These valves separate the atria from the ventricles in the heart.
Atrioventricular (AV) valves
Two body systems are involved in removing carbon dioxide from your body
Respiratory & Circulatory
The process where air is passing between the alveoli and the capillaries in the lungs
External respiration
A+ Blood type
Without the proper functioning of the valves in the legs can cause this disorder
Varicose veins
This valve separates the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery
Pulmonary valve
Name of the specific part of the brain known as our control centre
The process where air is passing between the capillaries in the body and the cells
Internal diffusion
Hilda has breast cancer and undergoes chemotherapy. The chemo has affected her red blood cell count and she needs a transfusion. Hilda is B+. As her doctor what blood type(s) could you use for Hilda's transfusion?
B +/- & O +/-
This major blood vessel branches off the aorta to supply the kidneys with oxygenated blood.
Renal artery
This is the force that blood exerts against the walls of blood vessels, especially arteries.
Blood pressure
A Chemoreceptor located in this major artery
Aorta
The process where cells convert energy from nutrients into usable form (ATP)
Cellular Respiration
This term refers to the clumping together of red blood cells caused by a reaction between antibodies and antigens, often seen in mismatched blood transfusions.
Clumping/agglutination
This vein carries deoxygenated blood away from the liver and into the inferior vena cava.
Hepatic vein
Known as the heart’s natural pacemaker, this cluster of specialized cells initiates each heartbeat.
Sinoatrial (SA) node
This product is what gives us cramps
Carbonic Acid
This happens when the diaphragm relaxes and moves upward, causing the chest cavity's volume to decrease and air to be pushed out of the lungs.
Exhale
Reg has hemophilia and needs clotting factors found in plasma. Reg is AB-. As Reg's doctor from what blood type(s) can Reg receive the plasma/clotting factor from?
AB- & AB+
Your blood vessels all joined end to end would circle the earth how many times according to your notes
Two and a half times.
Blood pressure readings have two numbers—this term refers to when the ventricles relax and the atria contracts
The bronchial tubes are lined with this that have wave-like motion to carry mucous
Cilia
The equation associated with cellular respiration
O2 + Glucose -> CO2 + H2O + ATP
