An Ingredient Label for Vampires
This is the fluid portion of blood that transports soluble food molecules, waste products, hormones, and antibodies.
What is plasma?
These are the antigens found in the B- blood type.
What are B antigens?
These are the three main types of blood vessels.
What are arteries, veins, and capillaries?
This is the pathway that carries oxygenated blood to the body and deoxygenated blood back to the heart.
What is the systemic system?
This is the definition of blood pressure.
This is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between body cells/tissues and their surrounding blood capillaries.
What is internal respiration?
This is the blood component responsible for helping blood clot after injury.
What are thrombocytes/platelets?
These are the antibodies found in A+ blood type.
What are B antibodies?
These blood vessels carry blood away from the heart and have a thicker tunica media to handle the higher pressure of blood flow.
What are arteries?
This is the pathway that takes deoxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood back to the heart.
What is the pulmonary pathway?
This creates the electrical impulse that spreads across the atria, causing them to contract.
What is the sinoatrial node?
This is the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the air in the alveoli and the blood that circulates around the walls of the alveoli.
What is external respiration?
This protein molecule is contained in red blood cells and attaches to carbon dioxide and oxygen to carry to and from the lungs.
What is hemoglobin?
This blood type is considered the universal donor.
What is the O- blood type?
These are smaller branches of arteries and veins, respectively.
What are arterioles and venules?
This is the artery that carries blood out of the left ventricle.
What is the aorta?
This is the pressure during ventricular contraction.
What is systolic pressure?
This process occurs in the cell and uses oxygen to create ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
Also known as white blood cells, these blood components are part of the body's immune system.
What are leukocytes?
This clumping of blood occurs when a person receives blood that contains antigens that match that person's antibodies.
What is agglutination?
This is the reason for capillary walls being only one cell thick.
What is the diffusion of nutrients and gases?
This is the atrium to which blood returns to after travelling the systemic pathway.
What is the right atrium?
This is marked by a systolic pressure less than 90 or a diastolic pressure less than 60.
What is hypotension?
This is the intersection where the pathway for air and food cross.
What is the pharynx?
These are the two main types of lymphocytes.
These are the blood types that could receive a transfusion of the AB- blood type.
What are the A-, B-, AB-, and O- blood types?
The contractions of these force valves in veins to open and push blood towards the heart.
What are skeletal muscles?
This is the ventricle blood that pushes blood into the pulmonary circuit.
What is the right ventricle?
These are the fibres that spread the electrical impulse across the ventricles, causing them to contract.
What are the Purkinje fibers?
These branch off the trachea into smaller and smaller branches that end with alveoli.
What are bronchi?
