ANIMAL PHYSIOLOGY - CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Flashcards
supplies blood to heart itself
coronary
supplies arterial blood to liver
hepatic
suppliers arterial blood to brain
cerebral
supplies arterial blood to kidney
renal
supplies arterial blood to digestive tract
splanchnic
heart beat process
atrial systole –> ventricular systole –> diastole
this is where the complete filling (contraction) of ventricles happen
atrial systole
this is where the contraction: av valves close - aortic and pulmonary valves open (low lub sound) and aortic and pulmonary valves (high pitch dub sound) happen
ventricular systole
this is wherein (relaxation) av valves open; 3/4 of ventricular filling happens
diastole
fluid portion of blood containing ions, inorganic molecules, and organic molecules that are in transit to various parts of body
plasma
make up the white blood cells (WBC; leukocytes), RBC (erythrocytes) and platelets, w/c are all suspended in plasma
blood cells
number of each kind of cell present in blood is determined by means of a _____________
haemocytometer
(under WBC / leukocytes) these are the most numerous; main function is phagocytic in nature
granulocytes
(under granulocytes) 3 types released during allergic reaction and infection and fights of diseases
neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils
mostly formed in lymph nodes, spleen and thymus and to some extent also in bone marrow; believed to produce antibodies and counteract toxins
lymphocytes
