Anatomy and Physiology of the Heart
What is the correct name of the upper chamber of the heart?
Which part of the blood is responsible for delivering oxygen?
Red blood cells
What is the correct physiology of mucus?
Trapping and removing bacteria
What is the correct name of the thin sac that surrounds the heart?
Pericardium
What is the physiology of the white blood cells?
To protect the body against invaders (bacteria, viruses, parasites)
What is the correct anatomy of the larynx?
It is made up of vocal chords
Explain why the heart rate increases during exercise?
The body needs more oxygen and nutrients delivered faster to create more energy (ATP)
What is the anatomy and physiology of platelets?
The are made up of small fragments of cells and the job is to prevent excessive bleeding
What is the name of the dome shaped structure that starts breathing
Diaphragm
Describe how deoxygenated blood travels through the heart to the lungs. Include the atrium and the ventricle in your explanation.
Deoxygenated blood travels to the right side of the heart through two large veins. The blood then travels to the right atrium, then travels to the right ventricle. Then the blood travels to the lungs to get more oxygen
What is the anatomy and physiology of plasma?
It is made up of yellow liquid and it serves as the medium that allows blood cells, nutrients, hormones, and waste products to move through the bloodstream.
Describe how oxygen enters the body. In your explanation, be sure to include the bronchial tree, alveoli, and capillaries.
Oxygen goes through the nose and down to the trachea, once it enters the lungs it travels to the bronchial tree, oxygen then reaches the alveoli, oxygen will then enter the capillaries, it will then travel to the rest of the body
Describe how reoxygenated blood travels from the lungs to the rest of the body. Include the atrium and the ventricle in your explanation.
Reoxygenated blood travels to the left atrium, then to the left ventricle, it then travels to the rest of the body
What is the physiology of hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to the rest of the body. It helps produce energy and without it your cells would not be able to receive oxygen needed to survive
Describe how carbon dioxide moves out of the body
Carbon dioxide, which is produced by cells as a waste product of metabolism, moves from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli, where it is expelled from the body when you exhale.
