Q

How do red blood cells and fibrin work together?

A

Helps with clotting of blood during wound healing.

17
Q

Pus

A

Made up of dead white blood cells

18
Q

What are the three main phases of Hemostasis

A

Vascular, Platelet, aggulation.

19
Q

Aorta

A

Biggest artery in the body, carries blood from the heart to the circulatory system.

20
Q

Heart valves and the locations of them

A

tricuspid valve (located between the right atrium and the right ventricle), Pulmonary valve (located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery), mitral valve (located between the left atrium and the left ventricle), aortic value (located between the left ventricle and the aorta).

21
Q

Function of arteries

A

Play a crucial role in distributing oxygen, nutrients and hormones throughout the body.

22
Q

Function of veins

A

Collects oxygen-poor blood and returns it to the heart

23
Q

Where is oxygen and nutrient exchanged within the body’s tissues?

A

Capillaries

24
Q

Circulation of heart

A

Blood comes into the right atrium from the body, moves into the right ventricle and is pushed into the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. After picking up oxygen, the blood travels back to the heart through the pulmonary veins into the left atrium, to the left ventricle and out to the body’s tissues through the aorta.

25
Q

Hypoglycemia symptoms

A

Pale, sweating, headache, fatigue,

26
Q

Hyperglycemia symptoms

A

Increased thirst, dry mouth, needing to urinate frequently, tiredness

27
Q

Hyperthyroidism

A

nervousness, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, feeling tired all the time

28
Q

A

tiredness, weight gain, constipation, depression

29
Q

Type 1 diabetes

A

once called insulin dependent or juvenile diabetes, usually a genetic condition that shows up early in life. In type 1, the immune system is attacking and destroying insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Insulin shots or wearing an insulin pump is a treatment for this.

30
Q

Type 2 diabetes

A

An impairment in the way the body regulates and uses sugar (glucose) as a fuel. Ways to treat it is to eat healthy foods, getting active, losing weight, and avoiding inactivity for long periods.

31
Q

Atrial fibrillation

A

32
Q

Bradycardia

A

Slow heartrate

33
Q

Tachycardia

A

abnormal fast heart rate

34
Q

Tetralogy of Fallot

A

A congenital heart condition involving four abnormalities occurring together, including a defective septum between the ventricles and narrowing of the pulmonary artery, and accompanied by cyanosis.

35
Q

Atrial Septal Defect

A

A birth defect of the heart in which there is a hole in the wall (septum) that divides the upper chambers (atria) of the heart. Symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, irregular heartbeats.

36
Q

Coronary Artery Disease

A

Caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, feeling tired.

37
Q
