artery vs vein
artery: carries blood away from the heart
vein: carries blood back to the heart
atrium vs ventricle
atrium: upper chamber of the heart
ventricle: lower chamber of the heart
blood vs interstitial fluid
blood: flows through the blood vessels of the circulatory system
interstitial fluid: flows through the vessels of the lymphatic system
plasma vs formed elements
plasma: liquid portion of the blood that consists of water, plasma proteins, and solutes
formed elements: solid portion of the blood and consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets
tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve
tricuspid: prevents backflow into right atrium
bicuspid: prevents backflow into left atrium
systemic circuit vs pulmonary circuit
systemic: carries blood to the rest of the body
pulmonary: carries blood to the lungs
atrioventricular valve and semilunar valve
atrioventricular: prevents backflow into the atrium
semilunar: prevents backflow into the ventricle
intrinsic vs extrinsic
intrinsic: regulated by the SA node, AV node, atrioventricular bundle, and Purkinje fibres
extrinsic: regulated by the autonomic system and hormones
left side of the heart vs right side of the heart
left: heart pumps blood to the body
right: heat pumps blood to the lungs
