vocab 1
Main artery of the body that supplies oxygenated blood to the entire body. This is the largest blood vessel in human body.
Aorta
lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out to the lungs so that it can pick up oxygen
Right Ventricle
containing protein and iron (element) that binds to oxygen molecules and makes up most of a red blood cell
Hemoglobin
DNA to proteins:
DNA and transcribed to RNA and RNA translates to amino acids then the amino acids fold and you get protein
Pulmonary vein
transport oxygenated blood from the lung alveoli into the left atria
Vein
These vessels carry blood back toward the heart
Control blood flow from the atriums to the ventricles. It is a small passageway that is found between Bicuspid (2 parts) valve is on the left side, and the tricuspid.
Valve
Lymph system
A network of vessels that collects fluid from body and return to bloodstream if needed
How does Asthma interrupt homeostasis?
Asthma interrupts homeostasis because the body reacts to its stimulus in an extreme way, which starts a process that leads to coughing or shortness of breath which interrupts homeostasis.
blood vessels that carry oxygen-poor blood from the right side of your heart to your lungs.
Pulmonary artery
A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
Capillaries
Red Blood Cell
Carries Oxygen and removing Carbon Dioxide from the body
The colorless liquid part of blood
Plasma
Superior Vena Cava
carries blood from the head, neck, arms, and chest to the heart
Aortic valve
one of four heart valves and is the final one encountered by oxygenated blood as it leaves the heart
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart toward body parts or toward the lungs
Arteries
Fights germs
white blood cells
Asthma
The body reacts to a stimulus in an extreme way, which starts a process that leads to symptoms like coughing and shortness of breath.
a large vein that carries blood from the lower body to heart
Inferior Vena Cava
an aortic valve that contains only two cusps (or flaps) instead of three
Bicuspid valve
Left Ventricle
lower chamber of the heart that pumps blood out to body parts so that oxygen can be delivered
Tiny blood cells that help you body form blood clots to stop bleeding.
Platelets
Heart blue vs left
The left side of the heart receives blood that is not rich in oxygen but the right side receives blood that is rich in oxygen.
Tricuspid valve
opens and closes to ensure that blood flows in the correct direction
