Q

left side of the heart-2nd

A

The Left Atrium contracts and pushes the blood through the Bicuspid Valve into the Left Ventricle.

19
Q

left side of the heart-3rd

A

The Left Ventricle contracts and pumps the oxygenated blood out to the body through the Aorta.

20
Q

functions of blood

A

distribution, regulation and protection

21
Q

Distribution- functions of the blood

A

Transportation of gases, fuels and minerals
Delivering oxygen from the lungs

22
Q

functions of blood- regulation

A

-Maintaining equilibrium
-Thermoregulation by absorbing and distributing heat throughout the body

23
Q

functions of the blood-protection

A

Protection against dehydration
Carrying cells and antibodies that fight infection

24
Q

Blood Composition

A

Red blood cells, White blood cells, Platelets, Plasma

25
Q

red blood cells

A

Carry oxygen to working muscles and other cells

26
Q

White blood cells (leukocytes)

A

Protect the body from bacteria and viruses,

27
Q

Platelets (thrombocytes)

A

Prevent and stop bleeding by forming a temporary plug that helps seals breaks of damaged vessels

28
Q

Plasma

A

Transports waste products and assists with their removal from the body

29
Q

Blood Composition During Exercise- Red blood cells and plasma

A

respond to increased demands during exercise by transporting gases, fuels, hormones and enzymes as required.

30
Q

blood composition during exercise-White blood cells and platelets

A

are less important during exercise, but are vital to ensure our immune system functions properly and minimize fluid loss

31
Q

blood vessels

A

Arteries, Capillaries, Veins

32
Q

arteries

A

Carry blood away from the heart
Aorta- largest arteries
Strong elastic walls allow transportation of oxygen-rich blood

33
Q

Capillaries

A

Where oxygen, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged

34
Q

Veins

A

Carry blood back to the heart

35
Q

Precapillary Sphincters

A

Controls the blood flow through the capillaries by opening and closing branches.

36
Q

structure

A

nose, pharynx, tracea

37
Q

the function of the respiratory system

A

Deliver air from the atmosphere into the lungs
Transfer oxygen into the bloodstream
Remove carbon dioxide from the blood

38
Q

how does the brain control breathing

A

through the hypalathamus

39
Q

pulmonary fusion functions

A

Provide the blood with oxygen before the blood is transported to muscles and other cells within the body

40
Q

Diffusion

A

natural movement of gases from area of higher pressure to lower pressure

41
Q

Pulmonary diffusion

A

Is the gaseous exchange that occurs at the lungs

42
Q

Gaseous Exchange

A

The exchange of gases between blood and air occurs in the alveoli. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into blood and carbon dioxide from the blood to the alveoli to be exhaled

43
Q

Haemoglobin

A

The protein contained in red blood cells that is responsible for delivery of oxygen to the tissues

44
Q

exercise decreasing risk of CVD

A

Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Hypertension
