Blood Types
What type of blood cell determines your blood type?
Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
This vessel is the largest artery in the body
Aorta
Type of blood in the right side of the heart.
deoxygenated
Which chamber does deoxygenated blood enter from body tissues?
Right Atrium
What is the purpose of the cardiovascular system?
Transportation!
Transport blood to and from every living cell in the body
True or False: You CAN receive antigens that your erythrocytes don’t have.
False
This refers to the lower chambers of the heart
Ventricle
The valve between the left ventricle and aorta.
Aortic valve
Which valve does blood pass through from the right atrium to right ventricle?
Tricuspid Valve
What color is deoxygenated blood?
dark red
What are the 3 possible antigens/proteins that cause blood type?
A, B, Rh
The valve between the right atrium and right ventricle
Tricuspid valve
The chamber of the heart that receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins.
Left atrium
Which blood vessel carries deoxygenated blood to the lungs?
pulmonary arteries
What is the difference between an artery and a vein?
Arteries carry blood away from the heart; veins carry blood to the heart.
Which blood type has B and Rh antigens only?
B+
These vessels are the largest veins in the body and return blood to the heart
Superior and Inferior Vena Cava
The chamber of the heart that receives blood when the bicuspid valve opens.
Which chamber receives oxygenated blood from the lungs.
Left Atrium
Which antigens are familiar to type A- blood?
A
Which antigens are foreign to type O+ blood?
A & B
This term refers to the blood vessel carrying deoxygenated blood away from the heart.
Pulmonary artery
The thickest chamber of the heart.
Left ventricle
Which valve allows blood to pass from the left atrium to left ventricle?
Bicuspid Valve (mitral)
This component of blood is not a true cell because they lack nuclei and organelles.
Erythrocytes (red blood cells)
