3) Lungs
4) Pulmonary Vein to Left Atrium
5) Left Ventricle
6) Aorta
7 and 8) Tissues
9 and 10) Inferior and Superior Vena Cava
11) Right Atrium

30
Q

A cardiac cycle is one ___.

A

contraction and relaxation

31
Q

True or False: Both sides of the heart contract at the same time.

A

True

32
Q

What contracts first, the ventricles or the atria?

A

atria

33
Q

Systole

A

contract

34
Q

Diastole

A

relaxation

35
Q

What is the function of valves in hearts and veins?

A

prevent backwards blood flow

36
Q

Cardiac Diastole

A

all chambers are relaxed and the blood flows into the heart

37
Q

Atrial Systole, Ventricular Diastole

A

atria contract, pushing blood into the ventricles

38
Q

Atrial Diastole, Ventricular Systole

A

after the atria relax, the ventricles contract, pushing blood out of the heart

39
Q

Pacemaker Cells

A

initiate action potentials in the heart

40
Q

True or False: Input is required from the nervous system for action potentials in the heart.

A

False

41
Q

Where is the pacemaker located?

A

sinoatrial node of the right atrium

42
Q

Characteristics of the Atrioventricular Node

A
  • where electrical signal passes to get to the ventricles
  • slows down the electrical signal to give atria time to contract
43
Q

Purkinje Fibers

A

conducting fibers

44
Q

Where does the heartbeat originate?

A

the valves opening and closing in the cardiac muscle

45
Q

What is the function of intercalated discs in cardiac muscle?

A

enable the coordinated function of the heart cells to allow the heart to beat

46
Q

Which blood vessel is the smallest?

A

capillaries

47
Q

Which kind of blood vessel has the largest cross sectional area?

A

capillaries

48
Q

Which blood vessel has the highest blood pressure?

A

Arteries

49
Q

Which blood vessel class has the lowest blood pressure?

A

veins

50
Q

Which blood vessel has the lowest velocity?

A

capillaries

51
Q

What does the size of the tube in blood vessels determine?

A

how fast the blood is moving

52
Q

True or False: Arteries and veins are the largest blood vessels.

A

True

53
Q

Where does the exchange of gases, nutrients, etc. occur in the circulatory system?

A

capillaries

54
Q

Why is slow blood flow important to tissues receiving nutrients, gases, etc?

A

slow blood flow allows more time for things to move in and out of the bloodstream

55
Q

Blood is a type of _______ tissue.

A

connective

56
Q

Hematocrit

A

volume of blood composed of cells

57
Q

What does hematocrit include?

A

red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets

58
Q

What is another word for red blood cells?

A

Erythrocytes

59
Q

Where are red blood cells produced?

A

bone marrow

60
Q

What controls the production of red blood cells?

A

Erythropoetin

61
Q

Erythropoetin

A

hormone produced by the kidney in response to hypoxia

62
Q

Hypoxia

A

low blood oxygen

63
Q

What do red blood cells contain?

A

hemoglobin

64
Q

Where are red blood cells broken down and stored?

A

spleen

65
Q

Leukocytes are involved with ___.

A

immune responses

66
Q

Characteristics of Leukocytes (White Blood Cells)

A
  • destroy foreign cells and pathogens

  • involved in allergic reactions
67
Q

Platelets are invovled with ___.

A

clotting

68
Q

Platelets

A

cell fragments

69
Q

Where do platelets come from?

A

megakaryocytes

70
Q

Megakaryocyte

A

large cell that stays in bone marrow

71
Q

Trace of Electrical Signal Through the Heart

A
  • 1) Starts in pacemaker
  • 2) electrical impulse travels through atria
  • 3) electrical impulse travels through atrioventricular node
  • 4) impulse travels through purkinje fibers
  • 5) ventricular contraction starts at apex
