White Blood Cells

The natural defence system in the body. They break down intrusive substances.

100

The heart does what?

The heart pumps blood through the body.

100

Veins have what to prevent backwash?

Valves.

100

Heart rate can be increased by this.

What are qhisical exertion, stress, and your fight or flight response?

100

Oxygen is picked up by the blood here.

What are lungs?

200

Red Blood Cells

Red blood cells transport the nutrient the body needs around, getting them to each cell.

200

The heart is in this system

Cardiovascular

200

This is were veins and arteries meet.

What are capillaries?

200

Blood pressure has what change with age?

What is increase in blood pressure?

200

Oxygen exchange happens here.

What are capillaries?

300

Plasma

Plasma is the material that the red and white blood cells along with platelets.

300

Ventricle placement

Ventricles are on the lower side of the heart, there are 2 of them, one on each side.

300

Veins carry blood

Toward the heart

300

Heart rate decreases with?

Relaxation and rest.
300
This is a common waste product picked up by red blood cells.

What is carbon dioxide?

400

Platelets

Platelets float in your blood and cause your blood to clot.

400

Ventricles pump blood to?

The lungs and the rest of the body, in separate functions though.

400

Cortery Arteries and veins

Bring oxygen and nutrients to the muscle part of the heart and supply the cells with the resources that they require to function. The veins bring the blood from the outside of the heart to the chambers.

400

Why is blood pressure important?

So your blood is able to be pushed through all the arteries and capillaries.

400

The curculatory system transports nutrients from these 2 systems.

What are the digestive and respiratory systems?

500

This in red blood cells gives them their red color and can be found in its basket. It also attracts oxygen.

What is hemoglobin?

500
Ventricles have thicker wall than atriums due to
Because ventricles need to pump the blood further than atriums.
500

Why are vein walls less thick than artery walls?

Vein walls are thinner because they have a lower blood pressure due to their distance from the heart.

500

Why can you feel your pulse?

Because the arteries and veins are being pushed outward by the blood pressure.

500

Blood Nutrient Exchange

Blood exchanges nutrients and oxygen by simple diffusion carrying them from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
