Brightwell_ShelbyAnn Test Circulatory Flashcards
- What is the function of lymph nodes?
To trap disease-causing bacteria (70. WKST - Blood & Lymph)
- Place the following order in sequence: A) The atria filled with blood B) The valve between the ventricles and atria close C) Blood is pushed out of the heart
A, B, C (64. CLF - Pathways of the Blood)
- When the ventricles contract blood is pumped
Out of the heart (64. CLF - Pathways of the Blood)
- What causes blood pressure?
The force with which the ventricles contract (69. WKST - The Body’s Transport System)
- Which of these heart structures prevents blood from flowing backward?
Valve (71. CLF - Interior of the Heart)
- What happens after old blood which has already been circulated through the body moves into the heart?
The old blood travels to the lungs for more oxygen (BP - Blood)
- The ______ ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
Right (64. CLF - Pathways of the Blood)
- Blood flows from the heart to the body through ________
Arteries (64. CLF - Pathways of the Blood)
- The force with which the _________ contract causes blood pressure
Ventricles (69. WKST - The Body’s Transport System)
- Blood that is rich in oxygen leaves the heart through the blood vessel known as the ________
Aorta (66. CLF - Exterior of the Heart)
- Fluid from the blood that enters lymphatic vessels is known as _______
Lymph (70. WKST - Blood & Lymph)
- A flap of tissue called ________ separates the right atrium from the right ventricle and prevents a backward flow blood
Valve (71. CLF - Interior of the Heart)
- The circulatory system carries the needed materials oxygen and _________ to the body cells
Glucose, nutrients (69. WKST - The Body’s Transport System)
- What is the left lower section of the heart called? When blood enters this structure, is the blood low in oxygen of high in oxygen? Explain
Left ventricle - high in oxygen because it’s coming from the lungs (64. CLF - Pathways of the Blood)
- What is the structure in between the left atrium and left ventricle? What is it’s function?
Valve - separates the left atrium from the left ventricle, prevents blood from flowing backward from the ventricle into the atrium (71. CLF - Interior of the Heart)
