Name the top five heart diseases.
Heart failure, Arrhythmia, StrokeHeart attack and Cardiomyopathy
How does oxygen and other materials move through the capillary walls?
It moves through by diffusion.
What is Plasma?
Plasma is the liquid part of blood through which all the other blood flows. It is mostly salt, water, proteins, and lipids.
What are Valves?

Stroke- When a person has very bad blood flow that goes to the brain. This causes dead blood cells.
Heart attack- When the blood flow stops in an artery.
Cardiomyopathy- About the heart muscle mainly.
Describe Red blood cells.
Red Blood Cells are the part of the blood that carry gasses in and out of the lungs.
What do arteries do?
Arteries move blood away from the heart
How does the heart work?
The heart works by pushing oxygenated blood through the arteries with the ventricles and the unoxygenated blood comes back through the veins from the inferior or superior vena cava which the heart sends to the left ventricle then goes through the pulmonary artery to get oxygen then comes to the pulmonary vein then the right ventricle to the aorta.
Describe White blood cells.
White Blood Cells are the part of the blood that fights infections, viruses, and germs.
What do capillaries do?
They are tiny little vessels that exchange blood between the body and blood
How many times a day on average does you heart beat.
About 100,000 beats every single day.
