All About Blood
These cells have a life span of 120 days, contain hemoglobin, and have no nuclei
What are red blood cells
This side of the heart pumps O2 poor blood to these organs through the _______ circuit.
What is the right side and to the lungs through the pulmonary circuit?
These are the low pressure receiving chambers of the heart.
What are the Atria?
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart.
What are arteries.
This is the layer of the heart wall that contracts. It is thickest in this area.
What is the myocardium and the left ventricle.
This blood type has has no agglutinogens on the red blood cells and no rhesus antigens.
What is O-.
This is the purpose of serous fluid in the pericardial cavity.
What is to decrease friction between layers of the heart?
These are the types of muscle cells that can trigger their own action potentials without neural input.
What are pacemaker cells?
This happens if your body cannot produce enough fibrin.
What is an issue with coagulation.
These are the three factors that cause resistance to the flow of blood through the vessels.
What is blood viscosity, blood vessel length, and blood vessel diameter.
This ion allows O2 to readily bind with hemoglobin.
What is Fe2+?
This is true of both skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues.
What is they are both striated?
This receives and distributes the AP down to the ventricles.
What is the atrioventricular or av node?
Assume you are blood type B. You would have these antibodies in your blood plasma.
What is type A?
Assuming you have type A blood, you can donate blood to people with these blood types.
What is type A and what is type AB?
This is the unique shape of red blood cells and how it helps them with their function.
What is flat and biconcave, which gives them more surface area to maximize gas exchange?
This is a tool to use when someone is experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It will get the cardiac cells contracting in sync again, and it works by stopping the heart for a second in order to reset it.
What is an AED?
This the valve prevents the flow of blood back to the left atrium.
What is the bicuspid valve?
Assume you are blood type B. This would happen if you were given type A blood.
What is the body recognizing it as foreign and attacking it. A reaction could occur
This is the largest blood vessel in the human body.
What is the aorta?
This is blood cell formation and the roles of two other organ systems in it.
What is hematopoiesis. It occurs in the red bone marrow and is regulated by a hormone called EPO.
This valve prevents backflow into the left ventricle.
What is the aortic valve.
This is a process that has three steps: vascular spasm, platelet plug formation, and coagulation
What is hemostasis?
These are the three circuits that blood flows through in the body
What is pulmonary circulation, systemic circulation, and coronary circulation?
This is the amount of strain or force placed on the blood vessels as blood moves through them.
What is blood pressure?
