3 categories of blood vessels

veins, arteries and capillaries

100

The large veins that return blood to the heart.

Superior and Inferior vena cava

100

Another term for erythrocytes 

Red blood cells


100

the protein contained in red blood cells that is responsible for delivery of oxygen to the tissues

Hemoglobin
100

The most muscular chamber of the heart - because it pumps blood to the entire body

Left Ventricle

100

A test that records the electrical changes in the heart muscle during a heart beat

ECG (electrocardiogram)

200
What kind of blood vessels are traveling away from the heart?
arteries
200

These blood vessels carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.


The pulmonary arteries

200

Cell fragments that help with coagulation

Platelets

200

The primary job of the pulmonary circuit is to

oxygenate blood

200

_______ Regulate blood flow through the heart

Valves

200

The name of the problem when the heart cannot beat due to a lack of flow to the cardiac arteries

Heart Attack (Cardiac Infarction)

300
What type of blood vessel facilitates gas exchange?
capillaries
300

From the aorta, they bring blood to the head - if you feel your pulse in your neck, this is where your fingers are

Carotid Arteries
300

Heaviest layer when centrifuged

RBC

300

Which side of the heart manages the flow of deoxygenated blood?

The right side

300

What SA node stands for

SinoAtrial node

300

Decrease in blood flow to a tissue

Ischemia

400

Which type of blood vessel has valves inside?

Vein

400

These blood vessels bring oxygenated blood from the lungs into the left atrium.

The pulmonary veins

400

What substance makes up the highest percentage of blood? 


Bonus - what is the percentage (+/-5%)

Plasma

55%

400

Which chamber(s) contain highly oxygenated blood

Left atrium and ventricle

400

From which chamber of the heart does blood leave to go to the lungs?

right ventricle

400

Someone with type B blood can receive blood from the all of the following types:

B and O

500
The vessel which handles the highest pressure in your body

Aorta

500

Identify the blood vessels that leave the heart

Aorta and Pulmonary Arteries 

500

Found in the buffy coat

Platelets and WBC

Before reaching the cardiac muscle fibers, the electrical impulse passes through these two nodes (in order)

SA node -> AV node
