Cardiovascular Lecture 13 Flashcards
1
Q
Plasma Proteins
A
Albumin, Globulin, Fibrinogen
2
Q
Albumins
A
most abundant, osmotic pressure, transport lipid soluble substances
3
Q
Globulins
A
Transport substances, clotting, immune function
4
Q
Fibrinogen
A
precursor clotting protein
5
Q
Erythrocytes
A
- Red blood cells
- Biconcave, no nucleus
- Hemoglobin: transports 02, CO2, H+, CO
6
Q
Atria
A
upper chambers, receive blood from the body
7
Q
Ventricles
A
Lower chambers, pump blood out to body
8
Q
Atrioventricular valves
A
loose flaps of tissue between atria and ventricles, prevent backflow to atria
9
Q
Semilunar valves
A
- Stiff valves between ventricles and exit valves
- Prevent backflow to ventricles
10
Q
Right ventricle
A
-Pumps blood out pulmonary artery to (to lungs to get oxygenated)
11
Q
Left ventricle
A
pumps blood out Aorta (to body to deliver O2)
12
Q
Hear valves
A
- No valves between the atria and the veins
- Four interconnecting rings of dense connective tissue surround and support the four valves
- Electrical insulation between atria and ventricles
