Q

what does the superior vena cava do?

A

carries deoxygenated blood from the upper body to the right atrium

28
Q

what does the inferior vena cava do?

A

carries deoxygenated blood away from the lower body to the right atrium

29
Q

what does the pulmonary artery do?

A

carries deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle and to the lungs

30
Q

how is the pulmonary artery different to other arteries?

A

it is the only artery that carries deoxygenated blood

31
Q

what does the pulmonary vein do?

A

carries oxygenated blood from the lungs back to the heart?

32
Q

how is the pulmonary vein different to other veins?

A

it is the only vein to carry oxygenated blood

33
Q

what type of valves are the aortic and pulmonary valves?

A

semilunar valves

34
Q

what is the tunica externa

A

-the outer wall of blood vessels
-made from collagen fibres that protect + reinforce the vessel + keep it in the body structure

35
Q

what is the tunica media

A

-made up of smooth muscle cells and elastic tissue
-depending on what the body needs, it will do vasodilation(relax and dilate) or vasoconstriction(contract and tighten)

36
Q

what is the tunica intima

A

it lines the lumen and creates a slick surface, minimising friction as blood passes through.

37
Q

what is the tunica intima

A

it lines the lumen and creates a slick surface, minimising friction as blood passes through.

38
Q

what is the structure of arteries?

A

-thick muscular walls
-elastic cartilage
-smooth muscle
-smaller lumen, no valves

39
Q

whats the function of arteries?

A

-to carry blood away from the heart
-muscular walls contract and relax to pump blood

40
Q

examples of arteries?

A

-aorta
-pulmonary artery

41
Q

structure of arterioles

A

-little arteries that split from main arteries

42
Q

function of arterioles?

A

slow down rate of blood flow

43
Q

what is the structure capillaries

A

-tiny vessels
-walls are semi-permeable(tiny spaces) so diffusion of CO2 and O2 occurs

44
Q

whats the function of capillaries

A

to allow diffusion(gas moves from a high to a low concentration)

45
Q

how big are capillaries?

A

1 cell thick

46
Q

what is the band of smooth muscle that is between the artiole and capillary

A

the pre-capillary sphincter

47
Q

what is the band of smooth muscle that is between the artiole and capillary

A

the pre-capillary sphincter

48
Q

what does the pre-capillary sphincter do?

A

contract and relax to control blood flow

49
Q

where does the pre-capillary sphincter reside?

A

between the artioles and capillaries

50
Q

structure of venules

A

-smaller branches that feed from capillaries to the veins

51
Q

how big are venules?

A

smaller than veins

52
Q

structure of veins?

A

-thinner and less elastic
-smooth muscular walls
-large lumen
-valves to prevent back flow from gravity

53
Q

function of veins ?

A

carry blood back to the heart

54
Q

size of veins?

A

smaller than arteries but bigger than capillaries

55
Q

examples of veins?

A

-Vena cava
-pulmonary vein

56
Q

where are capillaries?

A

in between the arterioles and the venules

57
Q

what are the 4 main components of blood?

A

-Erythrocytes(RBC)
-Leucocytes(WBC)
-Plasma
-Thrombocytes

58
Q

What do erythrocytes do?

A

-carry oxygen to all living tissues
-contains haemoglobin,giving blood its red colour

59
Q

structure of erythrocytes?

A

-round flat discs with indent shape giving it a large surface area

60
Q

what is plasma?

A

straw coloured liquid in which all blood cells are carried in

61
Q

structure of plasma?

A

-90% water
-contains electrolytes
-carries CO2, dissolved as carbonic acid

62
Q

what are leucocytes?

A

-components of blood that protect from infections
-identify,destroy and remove any pathogens such as bacteria and viruses
-originate in bone marrow

63
Q

what are thrombocytes?

A

-disc shaped cells that are produced in bone marrow
-its primary function is clotting blood, sticking to damaged areas and forming a temporary plug to seal the break

64
Q

what is the anatomical term for RBC?

A

erythrocytes

65
Q

what is the anatomical term for WBC?

A

leucocytes

66
Q

what is the anatomical term for platelets?

A

thrombocytes

67
Q

what is the anatomical term for platelets?

A

thrombocytes
