Ch 9 - Circulatory, Lymphatic, and Immune Systems Flashcards
_____ circulation carries blood between the heart and lungs for gas exchange
pulmonary
______ circulation carries blood between the heart and the rest of the body’s tissues
systemic
muscular double pump located in the thoracic cavity
heart
the thin, membranous sac surrounding the heart
pericardium
the three layers of the heart wall
epicardium
myocardium
endocardium
outer layer of the heart
epicardium
thick middle layer of the heart
myocardium
innermost layer of the heart
endocardium
four chambers of the heart
left and right atria
left and right ventricles
the _____ valve separates the right atrium and right ventricle
tricuspid
the _____ valve separates the left atrium and left ventricle
mitral (bicuspid)
the ____ _____ valve separates the left ventricle from the aorta
aortic semilunar
contraction of the ____ ____ forces blood through the pulmonary semilunar valve to go to the lungs
right ventricle
path deoxygenated blood takes from the right ventricle to the lungs to get oxygenated:
right ventricle –> pulmonary semilunar valve –> pulmonary trunk –> _______ _____ –> lungs
pulmonary arteries
path the recently oxygenated blood takes from the lungs to the aorta:
lungs –> pulmonary veins –> pulmonary trunk –> ___ ___ –> mitral valve –> left ventricle –> aorta
left atrium
each heartbeat (or cardiac cycle) includes a _____ & _____ of each chamber
contraction, relaxation
contraction of the heart
systole
relaxation of the heart
diastole
____ develops pressure and forces blood through the circulatory system
systole
_____ allows the chambers of the heart to fill again
diastole
_____ _____ is measured by a sphygmomanometer
blood pressure
___ ___ is the measure of force of blood on the arterial walls and is given as a ratio
blood pressure
three layers surrounding the lumen of arteries and veins:
tunica adventitia
tunica media
tunica intima
the outer layer of blood vessels
tunica adventitia
the middle layer of blood vessels
tunica media
the inner layer of blood vessels
tunica intima
capillaries only have the tunica ____ layer
intima
____ carry blood away from the heart
arteries
___ have thick muscular wall that can expand when blood is pumped into them and then contract to maintain flow and pressure during diastole
arteries
arteries are ___ than veins and can be found by feeling for a pulse
deeper
arteries branch into ____ and then branch into capillaries
arterioles
single layer of cells that allows for rapid diffusion of gases and nutrients between tissues and blood across the membrane
capillary
in its chemical composition, capillary blood is more similar to _____ blood
arterial
carry deoxygenated blood to the heart
veins
veins have ___ in them at various points along their length that are pushed closed when blood flows back against them
valves
3 superficial veins on the anterior surface of the antecubital fossa
cephalic
median
basilic
interior pit of the elbow is called the ______ ___
antecubital fossa
aortic arch
posterial tibial
radial
ulnar
some major ___ in the body
arteries
carotid
axillary
cephalic
femoral
some major ___ of the body
veins
a bulge in a blood vessel caused by weakness in a wall
aneurysm
composed of 90% water and 10% dissolved proteins, amino acids, gases, electrolytes, sugars, hormones, lipids, and vitamins
plasma
the 3 most significant elements of plasma:
albumin
immunoglobulins
fibrinogen
imminoglobulins are also known as
antibodies
plasma without its clotting factors
serum
___ is formed when blood is collected in a glass or plastic tube and is induced to clot
serum
the conversion of fibrogen to ____ forms strands that trap all of the cellular elements, which forms a clot
fibrin
