16
Q

Flashcard 16:
- Q: What is the function of the vena cava inferior?

A
  • A: To carry deoxygenated blood from the lower body to the right atrium.
17
Q

Flashcard 17:
- Q: What is the function of the pulmonary artery?

A
  • A: To carry deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the lungs.
18
Q

Flashcard 18:
- Q: How does the structure of arteries adapt for their function?

A
  • A: Thick muscular walls to withstand high pressure and prevent bursting, and a small lumen to maintain high blood pressure.
19
Q

Flashcard 19:
- Q: How does the structure of veins adapt for their function?

A
  • A: Large lumen for easy blood flow, one-way valves to prevent backflow, and thinner walls to allow skeletal muscles to squeeze veins.
20
Q

Flashcard 20:
- Q: How does the structure of capillaries adapt for their function?

A
  • A: Very thin walls for easy diffusion, small endothelial gaps for exchange of materials, and smooth inner surface to reduce friction.
21
Q

Flashcard 21:
- Q: What is blood pressure?

A
  • A: The pressure which the blood exerts against the wall of the blood vessel.
22
Q

Flashcard 22:
- Q: Describe the double circulatory system of a mammal.

A
  • A: Blood is pumped through the heart twice during one complete journey around the body, separating oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
23
Q

Flashcard 23:
- Q: What is the usual resting pulse rate for an adult?

A
  • A: 60 to 100 beats per minute.
24
Q

Flashcard 24:
- Q: What are the likely causes of a heart attack?

A
  • A: Poor diet, stress, smoking, age, and gender.
25
Q

Flashcard 25:
- Q: What is the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest?

A
  • A: A heart attack is when a coronary artery becomes blocked, while a cardiac arrest is when the heart stops beating.
26
Q

Flashcard 26:
- Q: What are some preventative measures for heart disease?

A
  • A: Follow a low cholesterol diet, avoid obesity, reduce stress, do not smoke, exercise regularly, reduce salt and sugar intake, and limit alcohol consumption.
27
Q

Flashcard 27:
- Q: What are the ways to treat coronary heart disease?

A
  • A: Drug treatment with aspirin, angioplasty, and heart bypass surgery.
28
Q

Flashcard 28:
- Q: What does the lymphatic system consist of?

A
  • A: Lymphatic vessels and lymphatic nodes.
29
Q

Flashcard 29:
- Q: What are the functions of the lymphatic system?

A
  • A: Protecting the body from infection, circulating body fluids, and absorbing and transporting fats.
30
Q

Flashcard 30:
- Q: What are the components of blood?

A
  • A: Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma.
31
Q

Flashcard 31:
- Q: What is the function of red blood cells?

A
  • A: To transport oxygen to tissues and carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
32
Q

Flashcard 32:
- Q: What is the function of white blood cells?

A
  • A: To protect the body from infection through phagocytosis and antibody production.
33
Q

Flashcard 33:
- Q: What is the primary function of platelets?

A
  • A: To aid in the blood clotting process.
